You couldn't pay me to put a duraflex kit on my car. Run away.

Don't go with fiberglass and that price is crazy. Here's my eBay M Tech bumper. I bought it for 264.99 shipped and it included the fog lights and lower grilles. Fit perfect. Seller seems to be out of them at the moment but there's plenty more on eBay for similar prices.

That looks like an m3 replica bumper

[mbanks21]

Yeah that's M3, not Mtech. Still nice though. My M3 rep is from Ebay also, I think it was under $300 shipped and fitment and quality is very good.

I'd avoid fiberglass; Duraflex is just a fancy name for fiberglass. Scrape or hit anything even small and it might crack. Go to any car show and look at the cars with cracked or broken bumpers or side skirts. That's what happens when you daily drive on fiberglass body parts. Even the vibration of daily driving can be enough to stress fracture fiberglass in some parts, I've had it happen.

I've owned several cars with fiberglass body kits, it's a huge headache if you actually drive your car. I owned mine years back when there weren't any other options for body kits, but now with the huge number of alternatives, I'd avoid fiberglass.

Guess I don't know my own bumper. Anyway, there's plenty of different styles of poly bumpers on eBay so no need to use fiberglass.

Poly propylene which is what the oem bumpers are made of, avoid fiberglass at all costs.

So something like this would not be out of the question?

Do you guys thing installing the M3 style bumper on a 335i is a bit ricy?
I reckon it looks brilliant but just wondering.

The same manufacturer carries different brand names.
I would avoid the Duraflex and get their Aero Function, Couture, or Vaero products.
We carry their products as well.

That's the same M3 replica bumper I bought but mine was an LCI. It does not look rice at all. It's a much better look than the non m-sport version. It comes un-primed but it's not a big deal to paint these. There's way less prep work needed compared to a fiberglass kit.
