Voltex Lip destroyed. Was it a replica?

My Voltex lip recently got destroyed. I went over a dip and it came off the car. A bunch of cars and a bus ran over it. I know this lip is urethane but after inspecting it, I noticed that it feels more like hard plastic and doesnt flex like urethane should. I use to have a urethane lip on my old car and it was flexible. Can someone else with a voltex lip please tell me how flexible yours is.

btw, Yes I installed it correctly.

These 2 pics are all thats left of it, other then the splitter.

Look at the bright side, if it was/is a rep...you could fiberglass it together back to one.

LOL. Aerocosmetixx i havent heard that shop name in a couple years. I remember when they first opened in Mira Mesa. Back in 2002/2003


A lot their items are FAKE! "lips", "bumpers" etc. from Vinny are from Abs dynamics.

You should've bought your stuff from a reputable Voltex dealer. I believe only one in socal is Evasive Motorsports.

I have a voltex lip, if you can grab either end and twist it, there should be give, it should not be rigid.
