    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

    I'd go with PU.

    Polyurethane is more flexible then plastic and more durable. I've had a bumper made of that and accidentally smacked one of my trash cans and the bumper indented and came back out, no marks. This a lip so it will get scratched up either way so it doesn't really matter.

    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.

    you know there's a thread on this on both the pics and what year it fits.
    I would recommend (from experience from me and other members)
    99-01 ABS
    02-03 Polyur
