I figure the OEM would be fiberglass, but I dont know. And everybody seems to be pushing ABS as the most durable. But then again, thats what they're selling.

Yeah there was a guy who wanted to buy a carbon fiber lip and then paint it to match his car color. He said it looks like a primered body kit and looks unfinished. Oh well.

i think the oem itr lips are made out of polyurathane. urathane is also the same material as the stock bumpers. abs plastic is the 2nd "best", then cf, and then fiberglass. both cf and fiberglass will crack if it hits a curb.
