We do, however, guarantee satisfaction on our products. If for any reason you are not satisfied with what you ordered, simply contact us to return the product and receive a refund. Most of the time these bumpers don't go on right on out of the box. Little to minor modification might be required. Such as sanding, shaving, trimming, etc. I believe you guys are expecting a perfect product for pennies on the dollar. By perfect I mean right out of the box, no work required. When that is not the case.

There's no problem with that and everyone seems fine with working to make it perfect, but before you were saying pulling it in will cause damage... so your saying you need to expect to modify it, but by doing so it will damage the bumper. Wtf kind of crap is that?!

Before I reply, watch your acronyms. Otherwise you will be banned from this section. Modified to fit is different than modified to what you want it too look like. Trimming, shaving, sanding etc don't put stress on the item. Using brackets to make it appealing to your taste is different. It's not a requirement.

They should've just simply said it may not fit exactly and may require some modification in order to fit/look correct since this is a copy. Not the long politically evasive response that more or less answers nothing lol.

Overall I still like the bumper and am glad they made the effort. It'll just take a little extra work to get it right.

Using brackets will obviously be needed in order for it to look as close to oem as possible. This is not a matter of taste but fact. Just look at a picture of an RS. Besides many of the F2 bumpers ended up needing brackets as well. Is what it is. Hopefully the stress cracks due to the need for brackets will not be too hard to address.

im confused about the comment "I believe you guys are expecting a perfect product for pennies on the dollar." I in no way expected a perfect product that required no mods to install. its not my first time. but for you to say this is a cheap bumper is nuts. spending over $300 is to me not cheap, plus the time ive already put into this bumper. i had to modify it to "fit" not "fit my tastes". i do like this bumper, but im afraid to go any further with it. if i have to cut, refiberglass, prep, and paint it just to have it crack to pieces in a few months, im might as well put my old bumper back on to save me the hearth ache.

My concern is only the lack of flex in the Duraflex. The whole point of the video is just how flexible and durable the bumper is without it having problems which is what is implied. To pull the lower corners in a couple inches and then to start showing stress cracks shortly thereafter isn't really any better than regular fiberglass which I have messed with alot on boats, surfboards, speaker enclosures and on some cars as well. In the end time will tell.

And again I'm glad they made the effort. Gives us something to work with.

The video is kinda misleading I think. My bumper is pretty ridged

Have any of you looked at the comments of the video??

No worries and have you actually watched the video? They twist it and state "no cracking", then they proceed to beat the hell out of the bumper. Hit it with a bat, close doors on it, wack it with golf balls, throw it to the floor from high up, run into a curb with it on a car etc..... The video clearly implies the Durability and flexibility of the product without the worries of cracking or breaking like conventional fiberglass products. Hence the name Duraflex.

And again i'm still glad they made it.

[bluebullet]

Yea but if it stress cracks what's the point of dura flex??
I was down to buy one but didn't have the funds but if they can figure out this mess I'd be down to buy if not either svt or euro front is in my future
