dont forget we are a real business (w/proper paperwork) and ALL major companies have the same disclaimer that we run.. ings+1, vertex, vis, extreme dimensions, etc... just the way of the business of aftermarket parts..
i dont mind you keeping your post there because the disclaimer is put on every ad and sent to every customer after purchase so they all are aware of the policy.
they can buy from us or from them either way is fine w/me but when i get pm's saying "hey i was guaranteed my bumper was going to fit when i purchased from ____ _________ and it doesnt. do you guarantee fitment ? " thats when i say my comment above and make them aware that NO aftermarket part will EVER be guaranteed to fit 100%

I have Arch's poly Kuruma front and fiberglass INGS sides, as well as Strafe's fiberglass CS rear and fiberglass Strafespeed trunk. All my parts fit perfectly and have had great experiences from both companies, you can't go wrong with either of them IMO. I think you'll be fine with a poly front and everything else in fiberglass. My parts have held up fine, and I'm about 2" off the ground.

Ordered a lip from one that came in a box half the size. Lip was bent in half and wavy. That wave is still there to this day. Fitment was 6.5/10... but that damn wave!
Ordered sides from another and I still haven't been able to put them on because I'm not happy with how they fit (even though no one else has ever had an issue).
I had fiberglass bumpers and sides for 4 years and never cracked them- never hit anything. It's not hard, just be smart. Also scraped quite a bit and never cracked them, just tore up the underside. The good thing about fiberglass - I had someone rear end me and it shattered by FG bumper... 1 week later it was rebuilt, painted, and like new. I don't know how Poly responds to hard hits, but I know it's a bitch to repair.

Usually they cant be repaired to 100% on poly. Thats why the fitment is usually better because it has to be becuase there is only so much adjusting you can do with it.
Fiberglass is repairable. Thats why i still have it. Unless your bottoming out and stuck on the bump your not going to "crack" the hell out of it.
For me it comes to customer service. Do a little research about the names and problems on here with the vendors before you buy. Thats the biggest headache if something goes wrong with the order.

Well speaking from personal experience and my situation... With me being overseas its hard for me to get exterior parts or find someone that will work with me on coordinating shipping or taking care of the fine detail thats required for me to get my parts. Between both vendors, ARCH was the best choice hands down... Great comunication and No B.S customer service... Thanks again Dustin... Now I know for a fact Ill be the only G on island sporting the Kuruma and Greddy sides

I have dealt with both Strafe(Dustin) and Arch(Francis). I purchased my Poly Nismo and Poly Impul sides from Dustin and Arch's Poly CS Rear. I had a positive experience with both and got really good price from both of them.
I would recommend Poly Bumper/Sides and fiberglass Rear Bumper eventhough I got Poly rear bumper.
Save your money and wait until you have enough to purchase a good quality product that you really want as oppose to settling for less.
