Default Are Nismo Lips polyurethane?

Are the OEM Nismo front lips polyurethane or fiberglass? If it is not polyurethane, where can I get one that is?

I have the nismo sideskirts and rear and they were both polyurethane, so i don't see why the front lip would be any different.

mynismo.com confirms it,

neither of those are polyurethane. Polyurethane is thick, heavy, and very pliable. What you want are PP (polypropelene) pieces. that is what the oem bumpers are made of. Most replica pieces are formed in polyurethane, so make sure you distinguish them from PP

quality fiberglass is good - better than urethane IMHO. Cheap fiberglass is crap

The NISMO front lip is plastic, same material as the OEM NISSAN bumper. Comes with installation hardware and guide.
