Duraflex Body Kit

I'm posting this just to see what everyone thinks. I'm assuming some negative comments but whatever. I have a Duraflex body kit I bought a little while back I'm debating about tossing up on the marketplace here on driver maybe trade for a intake and other G35 mods. What do you guys think?

My Kit:

duraflex doesn't mean its urethane.. plus, the finish on those parts don't resemble a urethane finish.

It is polyurethane and it does look it on the opposite side it has black primer on i which is why the face doesn't look it.

You can see the fiberglass mesh on the back, it is obviously fiberglass. It even says it is fiberglass on their site

MATERIAL : FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics)

I guess your correct I could have sworn is says it's poly on the side of it. It's up in storage above my garage so I can go check later. I apologize.

All fiberglass is finished with a gel coat to smooth it.

But to answer your question. If you like it, install it. If you don't like it, sell it. Really what everyone else here thinks doesn't matter because it isn't their car.

I've only found one picture of a black sedan with the body kit on. I've been quoted everything from 800-$1500 to get it painted though.

Honestly, the reason why we ask is because fiberglass has a bad rap. It's kinds deserved though and if you make one mistake on a curb, it could be the end of your bumper, where with poly, it flexes. If heard great things about duraflex products though.
