Default Any urethane front lip or bumpers for the xB?

Does anyone make these? Everything I've found is fiberglass or flexfiber. I had a K1 style but hit some roadkill and cracked it beyond reasonable repair. my stock lip also has scratches and won't show that well without repaint, in which case I may as well do a completely new lip. I'm tired of the fragility of fiber and want something that can stand up to daily driver use. Also, due to the suspension setup I'd prefer as close to stock height as possible, too low and it will drag on the drainage lip on the front of the driveway.

I would also love to know if these exist. Actually I was just about to post this same topic. I was hoping some thing that flexed because I drive in deep snow a lot, and can't always tell whats ice and whats not. Its how I broke the current stock lip.

Do you have links to reputable places to purchase these? What about links to purchase normal lips for the XB? When I wiped my computer I forgot to save all my Scion links, and I have no idea where to even go anymore to buy things.

Would love the real one if I could find just the front lip, Only thing I've found is the whole kit, and I have no interntion of doing the rear bumper as mine is split for a tailgate anyway.

I did find this one at ssuperstore but don't like the look.

the ABS Dynamics x2 is a urethane lip, looks good but is a bit lower than stock.

Can someone please tell me where you actually BUY these things?

Where can I get the ABS?
Where can I get the Kenstyle?
Where can I get ANYTHING for front bumpers?

Awesome, thank you for the links.

Last question. How hard is it to put this on myself? I am not the most car savvy person in the world, but I am good at putting things together. Does it take a long time? Any risk of ruining anything?

I can tell you that the ABS X2 front and rear lip is as easy as it gets replacing body parts. 100% bolt on and great fit. Can't say for the others.

Not a bad price for the X2, it says they're selling the front lip but they show the entire front clip, guess it's just the lip since it says "this AUCTION IS FOR FRONT LIP ONLY, BUMPER IS NOT INCLUDED." Can someone get me the height on it from where it meets the stock bumper to the bottom of the lip, probably measured at the wheel well.

Do the BB kits need modification to fit the US spec? I thought their bumpers were shorter.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought there were only like 100 Ken Style kits made in urethane. All the knock offs are fiberglass.
