Arkym Front Spoiler

I'm looking at this Arkym C63 Front Bumper Add-on Lip: PWC. What really is PWC. Is it just a "new name" fiberglass. Is it rigid or does it have some flex to it. The manufacturer doesn't seem to have definitive answer.

Not sure what the material is but there is minimal flex...mine cracked VERY easily (it's hollow)...I had to get it refinished and reinforced with fiberglass composite. Much stronger now!

Well, Mine has some significant damage already. My wie ran into a parking lot ramp and delaminated a 10" x 1/2" gap. I also went through a subway drive trough and scratched the driver side as well.

It flexes a little bit, definately is more solid than flexible. As far is the material, it seems to me like some sort of resine or fiberglass. I hope this helps.

Here is my original post on this same spoiler (pictures included):

Front Spoiler clearance

What is the clearance on the Arkym spoiler at its lowest point? I measure 5.5" lowest clearance (right/left corner) - stock before add on spoiler lip.

Think I'll pass. I'm use to the same material as the bumper covers. Very forgiving. Someone will make one someday soon. Carbon Fiber looks nice but can't take much street wear either.
