Do they make evo lips that are not carbon?

I want the do-luck lip, but dont want it in carbon. I rather just buy a much cheaper poly urethane or ABS and just paint it!

Let me know if something like this is available. I want the lip to match the color of the car...& prefer a cheaper price than $300 for a lip of all things.

I think the D1 is the Do-Luck copy.

Carbon and fiberglass are much more prone to damage than poly ... I agree

I agree with the OP. I would like a stock-material front lip.

A urethane piece will sustain and live longer than a CF piece will.

That being said, I havn't seen alot of CF lips looking terrible. But I cannot see a piece that is rigid (CF, fiber) lasting better than a properly made urethane piece that is flexible.

The Greddy is urethane, the Voltex is FRP.
