what are the items?
links are in the first post, its the integra type r lip, btw censee what did u end up doing with ur car ??
there is a difference obviously, but in this case you should be fine with either one...they are both flexable.... abs is a little better.... but for a lip doesnt really matter much
Ive heard Poly Urethane is supposed to be the most flexible
I'd go with PU.Quote:

abs is easier to shape and mold with a heat gun.
polyurethane will stretch and tear when put under stress. abs will crack and break off when put under stress.
i can't speak for other lips, abs or not, but i have had my abs lip for over a year and i have no broke it *knocks on wood* but yea, i always park my car a lil too far and run the lip into the curb/concrete barrier and all i have a just scratches. some deeper than the other.
can u get me some close up shots of the side and the middle of the lip ???Quote:

I would recommend (from experience from me and other members)
99-01 ABS
02-03 Polyur
