Does anyone have experience with duraflex brand body kits? here is the kit
I am just worried that its only $500 and have read about fitting issues.

 

answered your own question, its only $500 and have heard about fitment issues.. get what you pay for

 

Very cheap. Your Z deserves better. Not a fan of the spoiler btw

 

you know that saying you get what you pay for well its true with duraflex, their body kits maybe be flexible but that is not always good when they are warped and dont fit right. My friend was gonna get one for free from them for his Lexus IS300 for SEMA but when he saw the body kit it was messed up. the front fit fine but the rear would have taken a lot of work

 

the amuse style itself is sexy, but id go with a better company in all honesty. i have shine auto amuse sides and mine fit perfectly

 

Sorry i didn't mean I've heard of this kit or brand not fitting, just some in general.

 

one of my buddies bought a duraflex hood and then put it up for sale instantly. hoods are usually the easiest to fit when it comes to aftermarket body pieces, and this thing need way too much work. the rest of the body pieces will assume will fit even worse. I would spend more time looking around. If cost is an issue, just look for good condition used pieces.

 

from what i heard from some of the guys i talked to at SEMA and a friend that works collision and repair for 3M Duraflex doesn't for fit each piece to every vehicle its more of just a mold, the piece looks good off the car but it only has to be the slightest bit off for it to be a b**** to fit properly with flush looks. Look into VIS racing word is they have good quality product, honestly for full body kit for a Z it will probably cost a couple grand for a decent one. I was looking at using some greddy pieces for mine

 

Another duraflex thread... Stay away from eGay bro...

 

^^ I have a VIS hood and fitment is 100%. I havent tried any of their other products but their hoods are good imo

 

haha, theres your proof, or check out seibon their kits are a bit more expensive i think though but they look good

 

VIS and duraflex, arent those two different brands?

 

Yes...

 

This is simple. Buy what you can afford. If you value your money, have a garage, keep the car spotless then save for quality!

 

the money you save buying knock offs catches up to you in body work costs. it's not worth it. this is an expensive lesson to learn if you don't take peoples' word for it.

 

If you have any questions regarding body kits, I can help you out!

This forum is riddled with guys who got cheap off-brand replica body kits/aero parts and regretted it. Those who spent the money to fix the fitment problems or replace the pieces often found that it cost as much or more than if they had bought and installed the authentic kit in the first place.

Do yourself a favor... Be patient, save up for a quality kit, and do it right the first time.
