any word on duraflex kits? i can't find a real c one...

i've heard one naysayer about fittment...but i have a paint and body shop in my backyard...

thots? experiences??

I'd buy vis for a replica c-one bumper.

Even if you were to find a real C-one Bumper you wouldn't be able to afford it

$900 Shipped if not more. I've tried looking for used ones but had no luck thus far. Yes, you'll highly be modified your usa made c-one bumper.

oh I could afford it...just refuse to pay more for any one part than I paid for the entire car...that's just stupid. Esp on stuff like kits that you know are going to eventually get curbed or worse....I like to "cheap out" on things that are regularly and easily replaced....build engine strong and you can shove it in whatever body you want considering there are 1 to 5 celicas at my local junk yards at any given time...

Mainly I am asking for hard evidence they are crap...have u seen one in person? Used their product before? Does it age and crack, heat damage it?? Sound logical statements....not "good luck with your american made replica" or "I heard from my sisters dads nephews dog they don't fit right" real testimonials-

Almost bought one used from an st to put on my gt, would have just sold the rear bumper of course. The kid had it fit on the front completely fine without any issue along with the skirts. I ended up passin cuz i wanted a different style. No cracks. The rear bumper was super flexible just like they show in the vids. But with any "cheap" body kits theres gonna be atleast a lil fabrication to make it fit to your liking. Good luck on whatever you buy.

Bro I bought a cheap eBay body kit and everything lined up pretty good there was imperfections like expected. I haven't installed the rear bumper yet but the sides and front look amazing:)

thats awesome, im gonna go ahead and order the c5 from duraflex when my taxes come in...you have to fit any kit, thats just how it is...im debating the vented fenders, im going to go ahead and mold my front bumper to the fenders, same with back bumper, curren tails and im shaving my doors....9 days till the $$ is deposited and im dumping 3k into finishing my turbo and body kit...then ima rock the satin black for a while till i can afford the HOK chamillion....plus i got this super secret fab project my fab guy is working on ima be the prototype for...aggggh 9 days!!!! then waiting on shipping....fml its killing me!

I was gonna mold my front and back onto the fender/quarter panel but then I thought what if I gotta take the front bumper off? Haha. I molded my sides on tho:)

My friend Kevin uses the Duraflex TRD knock-off kit on his MR-S. He has had no complaints. They actually hold up ok as well. He drifts his MR-S as well as auto-x and road racing, and his front lip will generally last almost an entire season. If you don't track your car, you probably won't have any problems at all.
