Default ABS and Polyurethane lip difference

is one harder than the other? which is more prone to cracking/breaking? Which is more prone to lose the paint applied to it?

p/u is the shiznit. abs stays shiny for awhile but one bump too high is all it takes to destry it. if your going to put lips on the front and rear you could be safe with abs in the rear but i would definately recommend the p/u for the the fronts.

$180 is a long way from $25, but I get what you're saying. I'll just save some extra cash and buy the right part in time.
