Default front lip materials

I was wondering what lip materials are best for my car whether it be abs, poly urethane, or even carbon fiber. Any pros or cons? Thanks in advance.

Carbon Fiber and abs are more rigid materials, good for if you want a lip that does a job. However, these materials are more fragile, and can break if too much pressure is applied.

I like Poly for daily driven cars. More durable, it stands up to the rigors of driveways, speedbumps, potholes, parking blocks, etc.

Polyurethane ftw! ABS is useless if you daily a car because if you hit something it will crack the lip.

Fiberglass and CF are also good, and repairable.
