Front lip question. ABS verse polyurethane.

So I'm looking to get a lip and I am coming across these two kinds. ABS and Poly. What is the difference or is there one? And which would be better for keeping black/not painting?

Thanks

Here's my review http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60497

Both can be plastidipped easily. Abs is a little shinier

On the sti replica lip the finish looks a lot better plastidipped. Looks more finished and its easy to cover small imperfections. I've never been keen on the look of the painted lips.

I'm already 4.5" off the ground. How much lower will this lip make it.

It cuts about an inch. I'm on tein s-techs so probably about the same height as you and only have issues on my driveway which has a good dip to it. Just need to learn your daily commute and you should be good.
