Will I regret buying the Duraflex IPL rear bumper?

So I really love the look of the IPL rear bumpers. I feel like they make almost if not just as much of difference in the overall look as the front. Duraflex makes a replica version. Does anyone have any knowledge on it from their years of experience on here?

I'm sure the fitment isn't perfect, but I'm wondering, do it's imperfections make it not worth its half off price? Thanks.

why will you want to buy Duraflex and have to pay bodyshop to paint it when you can buy a painted OEM IPL rear for around $450???? ask your dealer ship to order it and ship it to them and you pick it up from them..

by the DF fitment is not that good, lot of work needs to put in in order to make it look good

Pretty sure at least one vendor here sells the rear IPL bumper for less than $500.

If you buy any Duraflex anything, you'll regret it. Just read about all the regrets from buyers on this forum. There's a few who try to make themselves feel better by saying "the figment isn't that bad" or "everything will require some body work to make it fit right". Know what doesn't require body work to make it fit? OEM parts.

You can get the IPl rear bumper from the dealership for like $322.. just use the estore coupon! I had called and they were able to hand pick me one without sensor holes too !

Probably ESTORE2017 is what he is referring to for the Infiniti e-store, https://parts.infinitiusa.com/

IMO, OEM or bust. I didn't want to deal with fitment issues if there were any.

Another option below, you can also save $60 on shipping if you ship it to a business address vs residential.
