What are our front bumpers made of? I have an 06 and want to know what material it is made from.

Definitely not ABS, that's a rigid type plastic. Most bumpers are made of flexible type plastics. Honda most likely uses a TPO or some type of urethane, both are flexible plastic. Some may categorize TPO as a urethane also. If you look at the underside of the bumper their should be material markings. One thing I like about Honda/Acura is their bumpers come primed.
