I'm happy with my fake CTR lip. Granted it's not a an OEM fit, but I haven't had any problems or complaints.

if the place is in your area, just go by and try to slap it on there.

from personal experience, eurethane can be glued, bent, and made to fit.

ABS if it doesn't fit, you're screwed. also ABS is not indestructable. it barely flexes and will break like fiber glass.

OEM ABS will flex and won't break. it all depends on the actual material.

I've had fiberglass, ABS plastic, and polyurethane CTR front lips. I have to agree with everyone else, DO NOT BUY FIBERGLASS! Mine cracked in 3 places. The only thing was it fit very well but that's not guaranteed for all fiberglass, they're actually known to have fitment problems.

ABS plastic also has fitment problems but it will not crack unless the impact is very big. My ABS plastic lip never cracked. It didn't fit perfectly though, but it was close enough that normal people couldn't tell.

The Wings West polyurethane front lip fit the best and was durable as hell! It could take a pounding without no damage. I bought it for $160 and it was worth every penny. Too bad I sold it

This is my car with the autodynamics ABS front lip. It is a stiff material but can be shaped to a point if heated. The fitment can sometimes be pretty bad mainly if the the cut was bad/uneven.
