Duraflex the material is great. I have a chin splitter made from it and that thing has withstood many an unexpected pothole-driveway encounter.

The downside is that many of these bumpers are not exactly ready to bolt-on. Many require sanding and fitting due to poor-tolerances in the construction process.
