Default veilside front lip

i was looking at buying a veilside v1 front lip and was wondering what the best material was: carbonfiber, urethane, or fiberglass. I've read that urethane is better than fiberglass but not sure on carbonfiber. Also i am going to paint it sb. And want something that will hold up well if scraped.

Veilside Urethane right here....I've taken it to hell and back and it doesn't crack. (knock on wood )

Forget the Fiberglass, and only go with the Carbonfiber if you don't want to paint your front lip. You still have to take it easy though, since the Carbon fiber can crack on impact.

there were issues with the mold going bad for the cf lips before. its been resolved, and now fits like a glove. scrapping any of the materials would hold up, but urethane is in stock.
