370z Duraflex body kits
 

Shopping around for body kits for my 09 370z. Does any one have any experiences/thoughts/suggestions on Duraflex brand body kits? Prices are pretty cheap but I've always been a firm believer that you get what you pay for. Just curious if these kits are junk or actually good kits to use.

Duraflex = junk..

I would stay away from anything duraflex.. What body kit are you looking for? Shine auto makes amazing quality body kits.

Yeah I kind of figured they would be junk.. It's my first Z and I've had nothing but Chevy trucks before it so I'm a little out of my realm when it comes to searching for parts.. But I'm looking for a kit that will change the look slightly but still has the OEM look to it. Not wanting anything super crazy

Look at those two sources and narrow down the filter. You will see some real prices on Body Kits.

Yes cooltoy is the man!! And as go FLY1 they are amazing awesome customer service and I absolutely love my carbon fiber duckbill I got from them!

Lohit is great when it comes to customer service and the product is well worth the wait!

I purchased duraflex side skirts a long time ago. After receiving them and fitting them on the car, come to find out they are just overlays you double sided sticky to your actual factory side skirts. they didn't look right and after going back and forth with duraflex they had me destroy them for my money back.

Wow.. I knew they were bad but I didn't know they were that bad... Damn

That is correct, the Amuse style skirts are not a replacement by glue over the stock skirts.

Duraflex is OK, but the money saved will be spent in body shop during the extra fitting and work it would require to make it fit properly. Plus they are not exact replicas and have some visual differences from the authentic kit. A member wheee has the Duraflex Amuse copy and has journaled his install and opinion.

The replicas mentioned above (shine and Fly1) are exact replicas.

I would stay away from shine products also as they are just as crappy. I had rear add on skirts for my 350z and they fit like crap. I now have their rear skirt on my 370z now and also fit horrible had to make it fit by cutting and sanding it down but still sticks out. Currently look for a new rear bumper cause of their crappy product.

Amuse rep from them is supposed to be good. At least I hope so.

I had their full V2 kit for my 350Z. Fitment was a solid 8.5/10. Nothing will fit perfect.
Hell, my stock NISMO body is probably only a 9-9.2/10. :icon17:

This is news to me, I have heard nothing but good things about Shine kits..

I thought i got a good deal on black friday with duraflex for my s14.....
Side skirts were warped and would not lay flush...
Front bumper was not exact fit and it set crooked on the front end even tho my oem bumper was perfect....
Fenders were cracked from very thin edges and there was a huuuge bubble in them and didnt lay flush with my hood....
I spent more fixing and body work than i would have paid for a high quality kit.
Please do not do it no matter how good the deal seems
