NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I purchased a duraflex for my C5 project and it is a total piece of SHIZIT........I have been trying to deal with them for almost a month with only 1 reply. They did the first time and requested a case sheet in Microsoft word with measurements and reasons. I did as they asked and now have sent numerous emails and calls to no prevail. Horrible product an also..... HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE....... STAY AWAY FROM DURAFLEX!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S I have pics of my fitment here on a previous thread....

thats a bummer, did you deal with Pete at all? his car came out looking pretty good I thought....

I see your the only reply besides mine, Is there someone I should contact???? I still have not heard from them. I actually bought mine thru MY HOT CORVETTE that guarantees fitment... But they are B.S also, I am actually considering buying something else and chalking this up to my dumbness...I.E.... Some internet products a scam............I.E......MY HOT CORVETTE.... DRIVEN BY STYLE .....DURAFLEX BODY KITS.............JUNK.....DONT DEAL WITH THEM.........YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they guarantee fitment you should hold them to it. However a competent bodyshop can get the parts to fit pretty good if they wanted to, some just dont like messing with stuff.


I'll shoot you a PM in a second. Below is some Duraflex parts on my car.

Why would you want that ugly front anyway-look like it's been in an accident already and smushed the nose in.

Mine was going to be the TS version Yellow like this one...



Instead I got a Duraflex and got this. With center of bumper touching hood it has over 1/2" gaps at the ends







Let alone the areas around the vents





They are like this and very uneven all the way around



Quik That is really nice I am glad you had good luck with it.

anyone else got this bumper? pics maybe?

Im running the TS front and ZR rear. I did some mods to both pieces, not for mounting purposes but to make mine unique. I had a professional body shop do the install and they did not complain at at all, they did all the final fittings and did the paint. Im very satisfied with their work and Petes parts. I can see how a DIYer would be frustrated.
Anyways, heres a couple pics

Canyon I take it you added the scoop at the top of the bumper? I have no idea how you did that to a TS bumper

canyon lake corvette

Yes I added the scoop and modified the foglight openings. This bumper is basically fiberglass which for me was easy to work with

Not trying to get too off track but I guess you just took a molding from a C6Z bumper and put it in place? either way very creative

canyon lake corvette

actually just bought a gm scoop and molded it in freehand

TriplBlk

Never heard of that part haha

But nice job man

canyon lake corvette

yeah it was just the stock zo6/zr1 trim piece. Thanks for the compliments
