So before dropping 900 on this kit I've heard bad things about this brand when it came to fitting. Has anyone actually had any experience in purchasing a kit or bumper from them? If so what did you think about it all? They guarantee no ditment issues so could it really be that bad? I don't need it painted on a count I plan on vinyl wrapping the entire car matt black. Thanks alot guys!

Nobody? Anybody??

 

I do not have any personal experience with the kit but, like you, have seen more than a few people warning others away from it. Typically a product has a bad reputation for a reason. If you want IPL pieces I say save up the cash and go OEM. I'd rather spend more and be happy then save a few dollars only to pay it back later in repairs/alterations/fitment issues/headaches.

 

I have a complete duraflex ipl for mine that havent even installed yet. Dont think i gonna install it after learning about them. I will install the sides tho and do the 2011 front bumper swap. If u want IPL go to rockauto theres 2 ipl front bumpers there for sale at an amazing 2003 bucks and it might be OEM refurbished. Get it while its there

 

its amazing extreme dimensions is still around so some people are buying their kits and keeping them alive even with all the bad rap lol

 

Stay away from duraflex. Save your money and go OEM. Fitment is the worst on these. Plus you have to get them paint.

 

I'm wondering if you read op's questions or comments?

Do you own this kit? The reason I believe op asks is to receive first hand account of fitment and relevant issues.

OP isn't "worried about paint" as they will be wrapping the car.

So, your insights intrigue. Please further expound upon your experiences with duraflex ipl style kits.

 

most kits dont even come painted but as far as i know is OC garage and very few OEM ones at the dealer

 

Wats the deal with outcast cast garage? I kno they don't make all the kits they sell and offer some of the same kits offered by extreme dimensions no?

 

i heard theyre the best next from OEM. They do sell OEM IPL bumpers and come painted at OEM color which is a good deal. If i were to get a ipl thats where i'd get it from but im gonna run the 2011 front end

 

U should at least test fit it and report back

 

TBH, I was about to get one for a car I was looking to buy that had a terrible kit on it. Glad I didn't after seeing reviews. I would opt for the OEM chin/lip. More cost efficient than the IPL body. I just do not see it worth it.


Just my 0.02

 

i thought about test fitting it too i'll probably do it when it gets warm and definitely will start a thread

 

Yea lots of txt book responses when it comes to duraflex kits but hardly ever any first hand encounters. I've bought a kbd poly front lip from extreme dimensions for my g35 coupe. It was an ings replica. Although fitment was good it was missing the entire middle section to attach to the car which I thought was odd. So I added something myself. It was no problem to do it jus alittle odd. If they gonna copy a kit atleast copy the whole thing. Idk wat extreme dimensions relationship with kbd is

 

wish some one would chime in who installed a duraflex ipl!
