But then we're talking about a $6,000 bumper. However, I've also seen tons of cheap Japanese crap busted up easily.

Second, the Duraflex bumper on the website given:

and here from the manufacturer:

Is NOT even a Duraflex bumper. How do I know, because that's MY car in those photos (which BTW I had no idea was being used for their photos). The front bumper pictured is actually a Porsche GT3 OEM bumper, which fit perfectly and is a more resilient plastic rather than fiberglass or Duraflex. Get one of these, someone in Atlanta is actually selling one right now here on 986forum:

Haha...one of the photos on the link you posted also uses a 6-speedonline boarder (ofishbein's) car to try and sell their cheap bumpers. Wonder if they got permission from him to use his car's photo too. LOL
