I've had replica parts that fit better than the real ones in the past. Come to think of it some of the worst parts I have had on my cars have been the true authentic ones. Not to mention any names...C-West *cough* Spoon.

You know I recall seeing this before, and I still haven't met anyone or heard of anyone thats used this product. But seriously if that model puts it on her car it has to be good enough for my/our cars.

i know replica coach purses hold up way better than the real thing.

im not sure why there is this negativity toward replica companies but the real deal should be best quality and sometimes its not.

Because if there were no real deal, there would be no replica.

Yeah that's the only reason why I hate on replicas or knock offs. Not so much the company its self but the fact that they took the hard work, time and money another company used to design something and call it their "own"

Kinda wack if I do say so myself.

I am all about promoting the real deal but as they say it comes with a price.

the point is these replica companies took the hard work, time and money of another company's design and made it better !! ...
honestly i dunno about dura flex's fitments..but the durability wins over FRP for sure ! i wish companies like noblesse or fab..make it out of this dura flex stuff

When I had a Bomex kit it fit like a glove and it was heavy duty fiberglass. Not that one or two layer crap. This bad boy had some weight to it and very sturdy. I can't say for other brands though. I've had a few friends who bought from Extreme Dimension and the kit fit pretty good. The dura flex gives you wiggle room to make it fit. (no pun intended)
