Thumbs up Is the s14 lip ABS plastic?

Hi, I would like to know if the s14 zenki OEM lip is made of ABS plastic? I would like to know before I attempt to repair one of these. Sorry for asking so many general questions lately, I am very new to car stuff.

yeah, exactly, they R made out of ABS plastic.... thats why they use them in races and you can transfer over 300+hp trough them.

Dude, does that question even makes sense to you? You can answer your own question. they are made out steel, same steel used in the tranny.

There are different types of plastics. Polypropylene plastic, Polyethylene plastic, etc. I would like to know if the lip is made of ABS plastic.

I'm guessing u guys R talkign about the exterior part of it right? I can't imagine a Gear inside made of plastic. And I've never seen any LSD from any car out of plastic. I must be talkign about sum other lsd then, or you're talkign some racing LSD.

Sorry.

Oh, you must be mistaken. I am trying to find out if the OEM zenki s14 front lip(spoiler) is made of ABS plastic. Someone replied in this thread that it is, so I am starting to believe that's the material it is composed of. I have read that applying bondo will work to cover/fill cracks, but will eventually crack itself. I am going to use some JB weld if the lip is indeed made of ABS plastic.
