Lip/bumper composition
Ok so I'm researching lip kits and wanted peoples feedback on what "type" to get a kit in.
Fiberglass
Polyurethane (sp?)
Duraflex
I've been told Duraflex is more expensive but it's much less likely to break/crack so you'd save money in not having to have repairs/replacement lips.
Looking for others input.

Put it this way, fiberglass is alsways gonna be cheap, duraflex is little more expensive & a little stronger, & poly is alot stronger but more expensive. It all depends on your budget, how low your car is & the way you drive it. Superlow & drive like you dont care then get poly. Otherwise if you drive carefully go for fiberglass. Or you can always go with the favorite now a days, carbon fiber.

So poly is the strongest - that would explain the $$$$
Wonder where I can get the lip kit I want in poly - the search begins.
I found it in duraflex and it was $700 before shipping

Polyurethanes are certainly the most durable. Fiberglass the least durable. In any case if the fit sucks then the material isn't as relevant ( I would much rather have a Fiberglass kit that fits well than a poly one that doesn't). Polyurethane is generally harder to modify for good fit and surface than fiberglass.
