i am looking to order a classic front lip tomorrow from stillen, however, after browsing around i came across absdynamics front lip which is $50 cheaper than stillen's i saw the pic and it look exactly like stillen's classic, but i know there's another lip a little similar to the classic and i hope that's not the one absdynamics is selling... anyone with a abs front lip???

 

IIRC that was the maxtuning lip or whatever it was called.

Just buy the Stillen. That way you know it's good quality and not some knockoff....

 

jay_pee's got maxtuning and so far so good to me

 

Biggest difference is that one is polyurethane the other is plastic. For a front lip, i suggest the poly or you'll be cracking the ABS in short time.

 

hmmmm that does make a difference, im pretty sure i wont crack it because i park so far from curbs any how, but i would like polyeurthane though... thanks

 

ABS is not an easily cracked plastic. its specifically used in car parts because of its shock absorbing nature. dont get the more expensive lip because youre afraid of cracking, get it because you want to be sure its the absolute best

 

nice comeback, so is urthane the only reason why stillen's better?

 

Standalone, you're right. But by comparison? Yes it cracks easily. I have ABS plastic on a lot of things, sure they can withstand shock, but they still crack eventually.

Try having your ABS lip partially fall off while cruising, dragging half of it at the same time. Poly will just fold, ABS will crack - possibly split.

 

just like all things...you get what you pay for...
the polyurethane is indestructable under normal and harsh conditions...

 

My Stillen was demoralized into multiple pieces when I nailed a truck tire @ 75, so indestructible =

 

did I say extreme conditions?...

 

stillen it is

 

mold one out of cardboard, that's the hotness!

 

soggy lip when rainy FTL?

 

soggy ....... WTF???, if your talking about stillen's lip, then your wrong and just want to get a post in, i had their front lip for my 4th gen, and you lost me when you said soggy

 

I believe fast2002 was referring to the suggestion of a cardboard lip.

 

oh...... yeah i guess haha (yeah not funny)

 

IMO on my bros teggy we had a ABS front lip broke within a week due to daily driving...now hes rockin a poly lip had that bad boy for about 6 plus months still no damages sooo im highly suggesting the still front lip you get wah you pay for and thats quality doode! (also i live in a area were theres a lot of pot holes and bumps)

 

san diego residential streets are terrible!!! felt bad for a rental car there...

 

ok, question answered and decision made.
