Default DuraFlex N-Style front bumper

So I was originally looking at the Gruppe-s Aerosync N-Style front bumper which is around $425 I believe. I then was looking around the saw the Duraflex N-Style front bumper which is almost half the price. From what I've read the Aerosync is great quaility and most have no problems with it cracking. How is the duraflex, is it crap? I understand that the Aerosync will be better but is the duraflex bumper bad? crap? Or just not as good as the other one but still a good one overall. Thanks for any input.

You've answered your own question. Remember, you get what you pay for. In the long run, when you cheap out on a part, you'll end paying for it in labor to get it to fit right.

I guess what I meant to say is I no that the Gruppe-s bumper will be better but is the duraflex bumper bad? crappy? Or just not as good as the other one? For almost the same price I can get a full body kit from dureflex or just a front bumper from Gruppe-s. I'd like to hear from people who have Duraflex kits if anyone does.

$250 ish while aerosync is $425. I may try to work a deal out with them to try to get it a little bit cheaper. If I can then I'll probably use duraflex for the sides and back anyways.

Do you guys think it might be a good idea to go with the aerosync front bumper and then duraflex on the sides and back?

So VIS is a good brand overall for body kits? They seem like there prices are reasonable which is good. There Techno R kit looks just like the N-1.
