Default How to tell if lip is

I received my amuse style lip that an ebay member told me he got from teamspugen. Aside from some paint issue the lip looks great. The chipped paint is all on the bottom of the lip so once installed I will never have to look at it. My question is, is it a erethane or fiberglass lip. It is very flexible, black on the inside where it is not painted. I wanted to know if there is anyway to tell if its erethane or fiberglass. It has a part number or some number in the middle.

P.S. I am still looking for the install XViper did with the Amuse lip pics if any can find that I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Thanks I will have to try that....

I didn't know if there was another way to tell maybe the molds or numbers on them? The thing bends like crazy just when I picked up one side. I had a fiberglass kit on my old car and it just seemed so stiff compared to this.

All signs point to ----- Urethane

If it flexes a lot, it's urethane. Fiberglass is much more rigid. Look at the back (unfinished) side. If it's smooth like plastic, it's urethane. If it's textured and ugly, it's fiberglass.

If that doesn't do it, rub it all over your body. If it makes you itchy for a week, it's fiberglass.

Lol, I didn't feel like being all itchy so I checked out the unfinished side. I am happy to report it is very smooth like plastic. I remember now my old fiberglass kit was all rough and nasty looking. This makes me feel a lot better about it on since I am already lowered a little bit, nothing crazy. I know I will still have to be super cautious either way.

Thanks for the input. Can anyone help me out with the install instructions and pics that XViper posted.
