Im buying the veliside version 1 front lip. Should I buy the lip in Urethane or frp. Whats better? Who has the best price on them?

 

I too want the same lip. I want a urethane one. Let me know if you find anyone that has urethane in stock. I have not been able to find anyone that has it or can get it.

 

well I need to find one soon. I have to send my car to the body shop.

 

I bought the eurethane v1 lip and love it, its better b/c it won't crack if you do end up hitting something or rubbing it on an incline. THe only bad thing is, my body shop said it took 4 coats of paint to paint it b/c the oil from the eurethane kept making the paint bubble or do something wierd.

 

i also have a urethane V1 i bought it from hopupracing.com a while back and they were good to do busness with so you can go and try contacting them.

 

Your body shop didn't properly clean and seal it before painting then. My guy went through the whole process with me and one coat made it perfect. Multiple coats means thicker paint, which will crack easier when flexed or under impact.

v1 lip is great. Urethane is the way to go; good luck finding one. Seems to be a surge of people looking for them lately...

 

Urethane will crack, its not indestructible. Its a bit stronger than FRP.

 

It's ALOT stronger tha FRP. No, it's not indestructible, but it flexes, so it'll take a heck of a lot more punishment that FRP. I've seen an FRP v1 lip that had little stress cracks all over it, chunks of it taken out from rock inpacts and scraped paper thin underneath b/c it won't flex. A urethane one the same age and usage I saw looked new, and was just a biot roughed up for some scrapes underneath. Seeing the two in person after some use made the decision easy for me.

 

Well i had a urethane V1 lip and it broke in half due to debree on the high way and just totally broke it and i was going about 70- 75 mph. so yeah its more flex that FG but doesnt mean it wont break on impact. but my V1 is being replaced with a nismo fron bumper.

 

Pretty much anything, including your stock front bumper, would break under those circumstances. I don't really see how that applies to typical daily usage. Nobody said it wouldn't or couldn't break if you hit something going that fast.
