What polyurethane lips fit?

Most of the info I found was years old, so I want to ask if anyone has had good luck with poly lips present day and if they could point me to vendor/design that fits well enough?

I like the maxton design but don't want to wait. Typical car is low/bad roads combo so CF is of no interest for the front. Pics are great

TIA

Up, one last shot. I know someone must make one or at least someone found an ebay one to work.

Well, I got this one on Fleabay prepainted, but I had to strip it (paint was crap), do a lot of prep, use a heat gun to get the fitment just right, and then base-clear it. Fortunately I am able to all that myself. If I had to pay to have it done, It would not have been cost effective at all. Happy with the final results, but a lot of work to get there.

Looks good, thanks for the insight. Maybe they sell it unpainted.

They do sell them unpainted. I can vouch for the fitment of Dpc2u car. Looks completely stock. Or at least the way the car should have looked stock. You can't tell it's an add on. I bought an unpainted fiberglass gt4 style front lip from eBay. Very slight trimming to get fitment perfect. Now I just need to paint and mount it.

I like that compared to the CF lips cause I know I would destroy one where I live. Are you not worried about the fiberglass cracking or breaking like a CF lip would? Curious if this would be better than the plastic route.

It was inexpensive enough that I wasn't too concerned with breaking it if I happen to do so. I'd be a lot less upset breaking a cheap fiberglass lip vs an expensive CF one. However I know the urethane lip would be more durable, just didn't find the style I liked especially when it came to price point.

Does anyone have any experience with the KBD poly lip? I know octane motorsports sells them. The idea was to wrap a poly lip in carbon vinyl so you get the look of carbon (kinda) but with the added strength of poly.
