Dunno much, is poly better than fiberglass? I guess I am asking how it compares to ABS. I had my real lip and munched it so many times. It was stout due to it being ABS but it finally was pronounced dead. It would flex a lot and resist cracking though. For $200 I can see replacing it if it is as durable. lmk.
Anyways it looks nice and I like the flat black look (I painted mine that way).

Car Info: Something german
I've had this one on for about 2 months now. Have had the usual scraps and scratches at the bottom from entering in some driveways. There have been times were i've gone up driveways too fast only to hear the SCRAPPPPPP if the lip and think oh ****. I checked on it and only saw the typical scrap mark. No cracks though. 
Lip is very flexible though. I was really impressed on how much it flexed when i had my car towed onto a flatbed truck. (long story, damn 880! 
) Car already sits low due to the coilovers but the lips makes it look lower. The tow truck driver made me sign a slip saying ya if we crack the lip it's not our fault, blah blah.. I knew it was going to come in contact with the lip so in my head i was like, "Well ok, time for a new lip.." Well as i stood there watching the car get pulled onto the flatbed, i saw the lip come in contact with the bed of the truck, and as it started to pull my subie up, i saw the lip start to bed. In my head I was like "wait for the snap..." but no, it did some crazy flexing but didn't crack. I was really impressed.
So +1 for the SD lip. If it could withstand getting on a flatbed, it could withstand daily damage.
