Polyurethane ?
It seems every front lip out there other then the TTE lip and the ugly vizage lip are our only choice for polyurethane. Can anyone link me to a how to make your own polyurethane lip link, just curious of how the process is done. I would really like a front lip in urethane other then the TTE and the vizage. A wald front polyurethane front lip would be sweet. I tried google on a how too DIY polyurethane lip with no success. And I did have a ABS plastic greddy lip that shattered in pieces so I’m not going that route with greddy polyurethane. I like the polyurethane kits that wingswest make, I had a front wingswest lip for my integra that went through hell and never broke. I tried a search for gs300 front lips, I need some links thanks
do you have the materials and capability to do this? I know a guy who made all of his body panels out of Carbon Fiber for his racecar, and it's a huge PITA unless you do it all the time and have the resources and patience to do it.
Not saying you shouldn't at all. It's just easy to get in over your head with this kind of thing where in the long run you wish you would've just bought one....I've been there..

I think because the fiberglass kits are lighter and more aerodynamic as compared to the poly kits which are more heavier... Kits were more used on racecars prior to now as to which they are commonly used for good looks (as in my case) 
Thats my .02, anyone else care to chime in? I know I probably answered off topic B... my bad if I did!

The shape of the mold determines aerodynamics, not the material.
The only real reason I could think of is....cost cutting.
When I use to make molds, fiberglass would cost a fifth of what polyurethane would for the same project.

i was always perplexed by JP,vertex, and other big names and such wanting/making such a expensive kit in fiberglass
RMM + Lsportline are poly (i has lsportline)
Vertex is FRP.
