Amuse polyurethane

Dragon_Ball_Z · 10-30-2014, 11:10 AM

Does anyone know where I can purchase an amuse kit that is made from polyurethane? I have not found anything besides frp and I heard that is very easy to break. Any help would be appreciated.

I think the closest you can get is Duraflex. It is more flexible (or so Duraflex says). But it is not an exact replica.

I am very aware of that, I am saying that I recommend buying the real thing, and staying far away from the Duraflex kits. But that's just me.

As long as the quality of the replica is as good as the real thing.

Then your best choice will be duraflex since it claims to be more flexible but it is not the best replica

Ultimate POS, in videos they hit it with bats and have guys bend their bumpers... MY ARSE!!!

As for fit and finish, it's nice, things like the holes on the sides of the bumpers aren't cut out... LOL!!!

I had a duraflex kit on my camaro in the mail, and i pulled it out of the box and it was in pieces from shipping. I had to request a full refund. This happened twice with duraflex. I am looking at aerojacket and Shineauto very hard. They also have bumper scrape plates, anybody got any experience with those brands and the scrape plates?

whatever you do stay far far away from anything with the duraflex name on it . the worst fitting sh3it ive ever seen and have fun dealing with them when you try and send it back .. i was going through the same thing as far as looking for poly body parts for our z . i wanted the amuse kit but i didnt want frp . i ended up after a lot of searching going with evo r carbon blades for the side and a stillen front bumper ( its polly , fits perfect according to every review i could find and it is a functional bumper ) mine will be here monday or tues and i will post up a review of fit and quality when i get it . im not sure what im doing for the rear bumper yet and i think im gonna wait till Kognition comes out with there new line of wings in dec . im thinking of just doing ad ons or a nismo bumper in the rear . to answer your question i looked and looked and i couldnt find any company that made poly amuse parts for our cars . if you find anyone who does please shoot me a pm as id buy a rear amuse style bumper if i could get it in poly .
