I had the CF one through Processwest.

Bottomed out on it, drove into a wall with it, drove into kerbs with it, kicked it, punched it and it survived all that. (other than some scratches).

It's final death only came about going over a 1m fall and taking the whole front bumper of the car off.

I think mine's a PW CF lip too - it survived my Jack's Hill tree hugging adventure - "she no break"

I have the Genuine Subaru Front lip spoiler

It is made from ABS plastic and is held on by 15 screws.

Havnt hit anything as yet to test how much pain it can handle before it cracks.

the PU lips are 'just about' impossible to break. You could fold it in half and it wont break....having said that, no one has hit a wall at 250 kms per hour to test that theory but bending and twisting or scraping wont break one.
The CF lips are cf over fibreglass so they can break easy if you hit something but pu will take the punishment no probs

Which replica to get is then the question. Would prefer one that doesn't require painting over one that does ( cos I'm a lazy bastard ). Must not need modification to fit or poor fit!!!

Hmm geunine is the best against damage i have seen so far..
