Carbon Fiber vs. ABS plastic mugen front lip
 
which one should i go with?
carbon fiber costs more, but looks better
ABS is cheaper, and same design, but without carbon fiber
cant decide...!

i plan on getting a carbon fiber hood in the future, so i guess it could match up pretty nicely

but which one is less prone to breaking if i were to hit something on the street?

the CF is prob stronger, if they offer a urethane one that would be stronger than ABS and prob about the same as CF.

if the roads are real rough where you live i wouldnt get the CF because you would be pissed if it were to break

I say go ABS

yeah, that's true
the abs plastic is 79.99 and the carbon fiber is 179.99
they dont make these in urethane, but if they did, i would get that for sure

actually 179 isnt bad for CF, i would prob go with that, as most of the CF lips i have seen are $300+

Are you gonna paint the ABS white to match your car? If so, itll run you more in the end than carbon fiber. If you drive your car daily however I wouldnt suggest the carbon fiber

They do, just not in your year :P Ive got a urethane Mugen front on mine that just survived hitting a massive manhole cover destroying my passenger side front bumper and rim. the lip was untouched with pieces of the bumper still bolted on to it, lol. Thing's a beast....
