I wouldnt get a CF lip, unless you hate money, as it will crack and shatter the moment it gets clipped, it doesnt have the flex of other types of lips.

urethane is the best because its flexible and doesnt chip. it just bends....but its also the heaviest out of the 3. fiberglass is cheap to make and cheap to repair...but also...easy to break.
choose wisely in blacksburg....

urethane.... strong, yes... but it doesnt hold paint as good. also, it doesnt really matter but it weighs more.
quality-made fiber glass should be the best bet.... as it's pretty cheap and easy to paint.
abs plastic is real good too but they are pretty expensive. my oem honda kit is made out of the abs plastic. my greddy lip is some blend of urethane/abs plastic. yes, i HAVE scraped now few times... :P
good luck. maybe wingswest has a lip or something.

Fiberglass will cack just as easily as CF, just CF will actually snap off in pieces. I'd go with urethane or ABS. My lip is ABS and I have to say at this point had it not beeen ABS it would have been destroyed about 10x by now.
I'm not trying to push ABS just cause I own one, but rather am trying to look out for a brother, as I'd hate to see you spend money on a part only to have it destroyed a week later. My friend installed the exact same lip I have only in CF, and I shit you not 2 days later he destroyed it and a big chunk was taken out of it.
