isn't polyurethane the material to avoid? I'm not sure, but I think someone told me a while back, when I was getting my kit, that it can get all wavy and is harder to paint... maybe I'm confusing it with something else.

I may have been thinking fiberglass - I get all those materials confused all the time, cuz to me, if its not carbon or kevlar, its weak

fiberglass is one to avoid most of the time since they r much more brittle

not good for large body panels that require some movement

but small things its ok



...but yea i m kinda interested in seeing this rear lip on my car

im sure there will be fitment issues just cause they have no item on a car and because of the price

need to make room for the dual exhaust though

hmm... wonder how that will play out

To me, that thing is too suspicious to mess with.

I've had my share of non-original part fitment issues - and its often doable, but I prefer original parts.

$150 shipped for this lip of dubious quality vs $350 shipped for Umnitza's Mtech rear bumper....
