Duraflex 1m front bumper for LCI e92?

classyfast · 11-27-2015, 02:59 PM

Randomly found this on eBay, has anybody in here fitted one of these? I think it's Extreme dimensions, made of Duraflex....

if its fiberglass.. id pass

Underground6t9 · 11-27-2015, 09:00 PM

Duraflex is fiberglass. I would recommend only pp

JDane07 · 11-27-2015, 10:09 PM

Lot of people have had issues with duraflex here... Mostly fitment issues. I would stay far away from that bumper.

Yeah I figured that, I think extreme dimensions may have a urethane version as well. I'm also looking for a urethane version of the Arkym lip that I currently have on my car. Any ideas if a company makes that??

Did you put enough periods in there? Says the guy who wanted an f8x M bumper on his car. Come on man, if this was urethane it would look tons better than that m4 trash

IMO this doesn't work with the LCI lights.

LTMW or ACM can make it for about 2k. That's the only way to guarantee fitment. But even they aren't perfect sometimes.

Yeah I've definitely seen that before....was just interested to see what this looked like fitted on a car. Definitely not for me

I'm getting a bumper from duraflex because I won't settle for anything but the arkym bumper as of right now. So, I will let you guys know how it goes. The last rep I bought was for a m3 and way too wide. Duraflex measured for me and their version is 3" less wide so I have my fingers crossed.

On the note of duraflex, we will see what the material is like. It is said to be different than straight fiberglass as it has plastic/poly in it. Supposed to be an in between of fiberglass and polyurethane.

But, is it?

And, Mr. ClassyFast. In case you haven't noticed, you can tone down a bit as I'm trolling your thread. No need for real anger here Mr. Meanie pie.

classyfast · 12-02-2015, 12:30 AM

Okay fair enough! It is the holiday season....no more flaming

Looks cool but fiberglass...

SUHleen · 12-03-2015, 05:00 PM

Not completely fitted yet but close. Needed some modifications to fit. The duraflex doesn't seem all that bad.... Nothing like poly or anywhere near as flexible but either way even if you hit something with a poly bumper you will still need to do repair work.

classyfast · 12-04-2015, 01:03 AM

Fucking awesome man, actually looks better than I thought!!! Who did your headlights? Any pics on? Ballsy to mess with what I would consider as a perfect LCI headlight!! Diggin your project. More pics!!!!!!

The end product is going to be good!

Looks good, but FYI, it's just normal fiberglass. Calling it FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic,) or anything else is just marketing speak meant to fool you. That's literally what fiberglass is, strands of fiber soaked in liquid plastic. Polyester or epoxy. Don't be fooled into thinking this is like a mix of PU and fiberglass.
