I've been looking for 1/4 thick. In pre-cut sizes the only one that would work is 4ft x 8ft and i haven't been able to find a sheet for a reasonable price. Going to have to look locally.
Edit: looks like I can get a 1/4" x 48" x 96" sheet of HDPE for $90 or ABS for $150 locally. Abs weight in at 45lbs and HDPE at 40lbs. Once cut down to lip size should be under 10lbs.

hahaha nice! I just bought the m sport bumper, I'm planning on getting the splitter. As you can see theres another bottom lip in the centre, I would like to add a custom lip to obtain the same look. But just cant think of what material will be light so it wont add so much weight to the screws/bolts. Strong enough so it wont break into half lol. I might get it in gloss black or just wrap it in 5D carbon fiber. Im going to check out the prices today!

I heard ABS is much easy to be cut into the shape you want.
