Default Better lip material to go with?

i like the durability of polyurethane. but i hate how flexible it is! Fitment is usually garbage with poly too
if abs wouldnt crack so easy, it would be the perfect material. nice and less elastic..

what you guys think?

Polypropylene is better than either.

Fitment isn't bad with polyurethane unless the part was produced cheaply. Aftermarket ABS parts can have fitment issues as well. Auto manufacturers make polyurethane body parts that fit perfectly - but that proper fitment will cost you. Hence, the higher price of OE body parts due to the strict manufacturing tolerances.

It's rather unfortunate that few if any aftermarket companies produce a high quality polyurethane lip that fits properly at any price.

the lip i bought actually fit pretty snugly and its made of polyurethane from a replica company haha. it just really depends on where your getting the lip. the abs plastic is too shiny for me anyways.
