who makes a poly lip?

I need to add a front lip. I like the Arkym style but don't want to drop a grand on anything CF that I will trash in no time on crappy roads. I know someone made a Vorsteiner rep in poly but don't really like that style. I hear Challenge is making molds for a less aggressive street lip in non-CF?

Any other makers out there doing poly in a decent looking lip?

Both of these are made for durability and are lower cost than the carbon fiber.
One is the GTS style made by the top of the line Modecarbon and the other is the challenge lip....

The mode carbon one is FRP which is not poly and still not super durable as it's "fiberglass reinforced plastic" hence the FRP name.

I am running a poly 3d design front lip that after some massaging and re-fitting fits about 9 outta 10. On par with every other rep I have seen. They're all over ebay as well as the Vorsteiner reps and I can vouch for the fitment. I ordered and recieved mine in less than a week.


Here's a quick pic of mine prior to making final adjustments. Gives you a good idea on it's design.

Thanks all for the links and the pic! Functional brake ducts are a bonus that I was looking for too.

.. My lip is in the body shop being refinished jet black right now and I have another lip that I may run. I may sell the poly 3d one if you're interested. Thanks.
