need to know which will be better for my car. I dont want my lip to crack when im coming out of driveways or speed bumps. thanks.

 

I hear ABS is pretty fragile...

I would do polyurethane or fiberglass if you can...

go with poly. ive heard that ABS has crappy fitment and they crack alot easier.

 

I believe all OEM lips, civics and integras came in ABS plastic.

The [abs plastic]lips that are sold in ebay are generally just replicas so they have horrible fitments.

Polyurethane are usually a but stronger due to the fact that poly replica lips are thicker, so they have more flex without cracking.

I would not recommend fiberglass because they are prone to cracking quickly even with minimal force. A friend of mine has gone through 2 sets of fiberglass fenders for his s2k, [ im sure that fiberglass lips are just as frail] he has now decided to go back to OEM.

 

cool. thanks for the fast replies. i just bought a type r lip off a vendor from ebay, originally it was supposed to be ABS plastic , but he ran out and offered to give me the polyurethane lip for same cost. i just hope it looks and fits ok

I don't think ABS could do this.

Go with Polyurethane!

 

trust ABS is ****. i had a cheap ABS lip and it broke off on the freeway. but i had a poly mugen replica lip and it bends WAY better. it does eventually crack but that shouldnt be a problem if your carful. my mugen one was just too low to the ground so i hit every small dip and it would just kill it :[.

nice to know, cause I wasn't too sure. Thought I read it somewhere that they were ABS

 

abs plastic &gt; fiberglass. fiberglass is wayyy too thin to be made for any lip. you hit a curb or bump with a fiberglass lip, and it'll shatter

 

Poly is the best and I'm almost positive it's what all OEM lips are made of. After that I'd take ABS plastic but it's easier to crack and doesn't always fit very well (that might just be because of crappy design). Fiberglass is way too easy to crack for me to ever even consider it.

I hope you're getting the poly, my oem(poly) has been through a lot and still no serious damage(knock on wood) just scratches.

 

Polyeurathane definitely,

 

is polyurethane the same as urethane?

 

OEM is KING, but if not available then i go POLY. Check jdmshit.com for list, and options. Good place, and good guys.

 

Poly, I just installed it today, its nice. On my build thread.

 

polyurethane is very nice!

 

i would say polyurethane cuz i got one and its holding up nicely and i would also rivet it on dont use the shitty screws they give u
