Question about OEM AP1 front lip.

Question about OEM AP1 front lip.
What material is the original OEM AP1 front lip made out of? When I bought my car (used from a friend) it already had a lip but it was pretty much made out of plastic (i think). that lip broke cause somebody was driving my car and hit a curb when parking . Well I bought another bumper and lip from someone. the lip on this one is made out of an extremely flexible material (urethane I assume?). So what is the OEM one made out of? And do I have some cheap replica or the good stuff?

OEM is made of ABS (plastic)
If yours is urethane then it's a knockoff

I've messed with plenty oem replica lips and very disappointed.
Here's the break-down
Oem:
Painted
Got the rubber seal to reduce paint rub
fits better No need to modify to fit
comes with hardware
Replica:
not painted
no rubber seal
sometimes fits ok sometimes like crap never perfect
hardware sometimes needed and holes needed to be drilled
All in all I pay
Oem:
$350
Replica:
$120 Lip
$100 paint
$10 hardware
Countless hours of install
You're only saving a hundred dollars go OEM
