hi all. i just got an m1 kit from duraflex so i just wanted to give you all fair warning. my story starts off when i get hit for the fourth time in the last year. when i took it in i asked my shop if they would install the kit instead of the stock one. well i ordered the kit from Andy's auto and two weeks later (today) i got it. i got the urethane kit because i was assured be Andy's that it is an oem direct fit since urethane kits are injected into a mold just like the stock bumpers. well the thing i got looks like its been made by a one armed lazy eyed fool with a chain saw. heres a modified list of the problems
all parts were warped
the kit was so greasy that my painter wouldn't go near it
none of the holes were there (license light, clips, bracket etc)
the kit had bubbles in it
all cutting and trimming was super shotty
i am now on the phone with Andy's so i will keep all of you interested posted.

 

A simple search on this site would have saved you a lot of time and money. It's known to be crap for a very long time. It amazes me that people don't search at all.

 

Ouch, got any pics? That sounds like a nightmare.

 

whats a good ms replica kit then?
and the pics are not workin right now

 

+1 a simple search would have prevented a lot of BS
sux man. hopefully you figure this out.
Good Luck

 

There are no good replica's. Some people get lucky with fitment but that the problem, there is little to no quality control.

 

Damn i just bought a ebay poly ms replica for 250 bucks, front, back and sides

 

im stressin right now what about kits in general?

 

you get what you pay for.....most aftermarket high end will need some slight work but the knock offs for the most part will always fit like caca

 

Yeah.. Replicas = poop.

I recommend you read up quite abit on these boards to learn about what other aftermarket endeavors may be bad ideas without a good amount of research..

 

Alot of kits fit great, as long as they are not knock-offs.

Great place to buy legit kits.

 

so andys said that i have to mock fit the kit and take pics to prove that the kit is junk. i just started drilling all the holes and its takin a long time. ill take some pics for you all when i fit it.
