I'm looking into either adding a front lip or a whole V2 bumper to my car for an improved look.
Problem is I autocross a good amount which results in hitting rubber cones at about 30-40 mph. Since fiberglass is so brittle, I'm afraid of spending $$ on a lip/bumper to have it crack with a couple hits of cones.
So I've been looking into the polyurethane V1 front lip or the Hybrid FRP Shine V2 front bumper. Will those hold up to the coneage abuse?
Thanks!
Btw if anybody knows a cheap place to buy Veilside V1 replica in black polyurethane please let me know!

No matter what company makes the FRP part, that constant abuse is going to take it's toll sooner or later.
Your best bet is to get a urethane lip, but that can eventually wear away.
*I have no info as far as getting ripoff parts. lol.

Ok please don't start the replica vs authentic debate in this thread.
I respect both sides and don't want to have this thread turned down the crapper. I think I got my answer already but let's try to leave this thread open for people who have other comments/experiences
Thanks![Smilie](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
And to Jujube HAHAHA FUNNAY! j/k yes I believe the idea is to go around the cones (which ironically i have a lot of scuff marks on the rear of my rocker panels). But sometimes I just can't help it when the car won't turn and I plow a whole corner of cones
(ok maybe I can)
