Fitment isnt just bad, its absolutely horrible and as far as durability, i scrapped one time and the whole bumper flexed like cardboard, cracking the paint everywhere, all across it. A few scrapes and you'll have a nice hole but thats just my experience though. Maybe i just got a bad batch? :/
They said the duraflex would take a beating not that the paint would take a beating haha. Hit a curb ever in anything and your gonna wish you hadnt. Duraflex has more ability to conform if it isnt perfectly molded you can manipulate it with a heat gun as well. But its pros can be its cons too.

Yes, that's pretty obvious but your really not catching what I'm saying...you'd have to experience it to understand. I can scrape the bumper on my car now and my paint won't crack all the way to the other side of the bumper, lol. I re-inforced the duraflex bumper and even just driving down the road, the bumper itself flexs and the paint cracks...but I'm just trying to give some advice. Do what you will.
