Default Tte lip polyurethane???
I'm sure some of u guys have seen these on ebay, but not quite sure what to make of it.

I called one of the companies and they did confirm that the lips were made of poly-urethane.

The original TTE lips are poly-urethane, then they had the replicas made of fiberglass. Now the reps are urethane for pretty cheap.

Anybody have any experience with this or ordered one yet?

Here a link:

I would rather have a TTE urethane rep than an original of fiberglass.

I've had fiberglass kits/lips before. I just find the urethane to be more durable, as should most people.

I don't doubt they make a urethane version now due to the demand, just like the replica JP trunk and roof wing. Its just a painful reminder of our our car's deteriorating value. I went on craigslist and saw people selling our cars for like nothing.....that joint hurt. I'm gonna hold on for a bit longer....

If you "buy it now" it will come included with a FREE real chinese boy that will install this lip on your car with a staple-gun. DONT WAIT! ACT NOW!
