Fiberglass? ABS? Plastic? Polyeurethane? Which stuff is good stuff?

I'm considering buying a fake Si lip, since no one wants to sell one.

I DONT want to buy a shitty one.. so what should it be made from?

I've heard fiberglass blows.

Lemme know! Thanks

Don't buy fiberglass for your front lip because if you scrape it a few times, it's gonna crack. I've learned from experience. ABS plastic is a little tougher but they tend to have problems with fitment. Again from experience. Polyurethane is your best bet because it can take a lot of hits without even being damaged much (you might scrape off some paint from the bottom, that's it). You will probably go through more than a few fiberglass lips before even your urethane lip gets touched so in the long run you will save money.
