Do not buy Duraflex kits!!!!
FYI: THIS IS FOR PEOPLE TO BE AWARE!! I KNOW THERES PEOPLE OUT HERE THAT KNOW ABOUT DURAFLEX ALREADY. I MADE THIS POST FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW AND BE AWARE OF WHAT PRODUCTS ARE OUT THERE.
I want everyone to be aware why you shouldn’t buy Duraflex kits. In the pictures shown I have two replica kits one from VSaero and one from duraflex. They are both v3 replica front bumpers. Duraflex material is fiberglass and vasero is fiber reinforced plastic. This is also what the authentic kit is made with. Shown in the pictures you will have to take headlight covers off, Frame brace bar for installation to fit correctly. Duraflex does not go off flanges, clips, or insert pieces. Duraflex goes straight off the 3D demsions of what the bumper looks like on the car. (Another reason why you shouldn’t buy from them) I know the prices are what gets people to buy from them, but it’s not worth the pain and suffering. Do not buy fiberglass pieces from off brands unless you know they’ve done extensive research to fit these bumper correctly to the chassis. Picture below.

I would also like to mention to point out I do have a v1 widebody kit on. That’s why the front bumper pokes out a bit with the VSaero kit on the sides.

The last time I saw the word Duraflex, it was imprinted on a trash lid.

Thought everyone knew duraflex was cheap for a reason and not to be purchased buy a DIYer, lots of custom molding, modifications, bondo work etc... what you save in cost you payback to a professional body shop to get the kit fitted properly.
