According to their site, they offer somekits in polyurethane.
Not duraflex. Which is why a link is impossible to attain

We do offer kits in polyurethane, but not under the Duraflex brand.

For example:

Couture Urethane kit.

Extreme Dimensions Urethane bumper.
http://extremedimensions.com/2003-20...r-1-Piece.html



Duraflex FRP bumper
http://extremedimensions.com/03-08-350Z-N2-FB.html



Duraflex FRP kit.

To be 100% honest, it depends on the part/s. A 4-piece kit will be easier to install than a widebody kit. If you tell me which part in particular you are looking for I can get more into details.

Side note: When looking for a shop to have our kits installed, look for a place with experience with body kits. A collision shop with 10 yrs experience VS a shop with 2yrs body kit experience? you know which one i'd choose.


Thank you,
Irving

Stock looks better than that. Save your money and put elsewhere IMO

OP, what kit are you looking at getting? Paint and install on a four piece lip kit will greatly differ from paint and install on an widebody kit.

Not entirely certain how that's a marketing scheme. We clearly state on our website that our Duraflex brand is fiberglass and our Couture brand is polyurethane.

If this was directed at the statement that a wide body kit would be more difficult to install than a regular 4 piece kit and would therefore cost more, then that is just as confusing considering it's based solely on fact and 14+ years of experience in our industry.
