Default Mugen Lip Material

Does anyone know if the genuine Mugen lip (96-97 models) is made of fiberglass or urethane? I know its discontinued (for all those who doubt the relevance of this question) but I have a chance to get my hands on one from a friend in Japan. I hate fiberglass though and don't want to get near it if its fiberglass.

unfortunately, it's made of fiberglass...this was the era that mugen only used fiberglass and didn't start making their aero kits out of carbon fiber...mugen is good stuff though and wind tunnel tested...the 96-97 lip spoiler was also on the castrol mugen racing accord which won in its class both years it competed...

Yeah it is nice but I can't really bring myself to buy something made of fiberglass (especiallly that is so expensive). I appreciate the info though

If you dont care, you can get a poly one from ebay for like 100 shipped, just a knock off.

Thanks for the explaining for me...but if you can get pretty cheap, buy it and sell it to me. Unless your friends in Yakota or Misawa AFB. Then just give me his name and rank and I'll just email him...
