1M LCI e90 Duraflex bumper

About 3 months ago i purchased a 1m front bumper from a local for $300. After looking at the bumper in person i noticed that the front bumper was a duraflex product. Driving 3 hours to pick up this bumper, i took the bumper anyways and decided $300 was worth the risk if it didnt look good. Anyone have any experience with duraflex? I am looking to get it painted soon but nervous on fitment. Why is fiberglass so bad of a product? Should i even spend the money and get it painted??

There's a reason that many people stay away from Duraflex; their bumpers usually fit like garbage and you'll likely end up spending a lot more money paying a body shop to make it fit properly.

I'd suggest saving yourself the hassle and buying your bumper from a vendor on here that has been proven.

Fitment is a hit or miss ... We carry this product and i always warn customers that part will need some prep work before it fits.
Good news is that it is cheap and Extreme Dimensions will stand behind their product. If it has any defects they will give you your money back

I just bought an m style bumper from a seller on ebay for 290 and they two day shipped it. Their 1m is closer to 400. But it is the same pp material and I'm sure from the same factory as all of the other chinese stuff. Seller is fstdirect

I wish I knew that before I bought an Arkym rep off of a terrible seller on eBay. Fitment looks to be M3 and none of the holes for mounting or the kidney grilles clips are cut out. it is just one big form, including the tow hook hole being filled in.

Do you have any pics of the arkym rep you guys sell for them? I may end up sending mine back to the seller.
