Thought it meant Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic(or polymer) as stated above.

My rear diffuser was FRP. Flexible, but not as much as the plastic on your front lip. It will bend to a point, then crack. It will crack if hit hard enough (ie rock chips at speed can put tiny cracks in it)

That being said, SHINE has the FRP pretty thick IMO.

They hold up alright. I have had my frp set for over a year now. Still look nice and dark and have held to the car like a charm. Just dont have people step on it thinking its a sidestep for your lowered vehicle
