Ya, I agree. Aftermarket fiberglass is cheap but cost $$$ to install. Or you pay a lot of money for a high end part. It ends up still being cheaper to go with a Duraflex product. I have a lot of my parts on a lot of Z, and they look great when done right.
As far as durability, here is a picture of my part going sideways at 80mph....watch out for potholes! haha.

Look great when done right? You mean look good when we spend hundreds of dollars to fix your subpar built products. You steal money from people by putting out cutesy videos of look how good our product is but you keep the price so low 95% of people say hell this is the deal of the century! I have fallen into the trap myself. By doing so you practically monopolized the market BC noone can compete with your BS marketing strategies.
For us with the 350, its either buy authentic Nismo or authentic Chargespeed, or other uber expensive JDM stuff. Or buy Duraflex/ED stuff which requires well over 25hrs of shop time, for dirt cheap.
The middle product developer can't survive in this market but its ok, y'all can sleep at night BC your swimming in hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Ya you can twist a bumper to 30% and it not snap but hit a curb just the tiniest bit and it'll crack, trust me.
Just get a quality front lip that is known to have good fitment for the same price or even less than a crappy, unpainted bumper that will take some work to fit. Painting will be cheaper due to size, and you don't have to worry about it not fitting.

Sorry you feel that way, I would recommend you spend more and get what you really want. However I'm looking at a Nissan Nismo OE (not OEM) front bumper listed at $610 new. Plus $400 to get it painted properly. So now you are at $1100 for an OE part painted.
I sell the Version 1 & 2 bumper for $122 picked up in Southern California. Even if you spend $600 to install and paint my part. You are still saving almost $300 by going with my part. And I agree, it's not for everybody. It's fiberglass, but a lot of people are happy to save hundreds by going with my part. If you're running into curbs, I'm sorry but my part is not the problem.

Our Nismo 2 bumper is made of 100% polyurethane, and we currently have a sale going right here on the forums. Though we don't recommend hitting curbs with ANY part on your car, a little scrape coming in and out of the gas station should be fine.

I agree with AffyliatedZ though. Depending on the damage the OP's bumper has, a front lip may be enough to cover the damage and should be less expensive to install, prep and paint. You can typically get away with just a lip and look different but still stock-ish.
