Kenstyle bumper thoughts

Can anyone comment on the quality of this bumper. I may be able to get one from a group kit purchase and the parts would be divided. How well does it mesh up compared to stock and what do you think of the durability

Thanks

KS bumper.

All I know is that it's fiber glass. The most durable material would be polyurethane. You bump a curb with Fglass and it'll easily crack, unlike the OEM facia.

IMPUL is Polyurethane and looks damn good IMO. Very classy but different at the same time. I absolutely love the kit even if it costs around $4000 painted. If I had the bling, I'd buy it.

I like the kenstyle back bumper the best. I have a question to anyone who knows...

If I only install the back bumper of this kit, will it not match the closenes to the ground with the rest of the car? I mean, once installed, is the Kenstyle rear bumper as high from the ground as the stock G35 one?

I think you are right HomieG35. I want the back and the sides, but I dont like the front. I like the non-aero stock front the most so far =/

BTW - Anyone have the direct link to the thread with all the pics of the yellow (forgot username) G35 with full kenstyle kit?

you are half right. we just got the kenstyle kit, from 1-10, the rate according to the bodyshop is 9.5, well to be rational, nothing will get 10, so I will say kenstyle kit is an "A" rated kit

fiberglass in general IS less stronger than PolyU

why people don't like fiberglass? because it's hell of a pain to prime it to $100 bad quality bumpers & drill the holes to fit the car. However, kenstyle is smooth like silk and is pre-drilled; therefore, it's a direct & perfect fit kit

see $$$ is NOT = quality but quality = $$$

Kenstyle, go for it, you won't regret oh, don't forget the get kenstyle's titanium/carbon fiber exhaust system as well - we shall install the full kit + exhaust prior to the 2/26 meet

I agree, the rear bumper looks like a Ferrari, it would go really well with that front bumper GUniiT has. (which also looks like a Modena)
