I'm interested in purchasing a new body kit for my 96 240SX and wanted to know what you guys think about Duraflex body kits? I would perfer a polyurethane kit but I can't find one for an S14. My next option was just to for JDM side skirts and valances for the sides and rear. As for the front keep the US urethane bumper and add a Greedy front lip. I like the Origin body kits but I want to stay away from fiberglass kits. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks,

I believe "duraflex" is associated with the company Extreme Dimensions.This is a company that has a terrible reputation with "tuners" They offer cheaply priced and made knock offs of real products. Fitment and overall quality has always been an issue.

Do what you gotta do.

I like the SuperMade kit, but I know the way my FMIC is situated, that front bumper would have to be cut pretty drastically or may not work at all. But I like how clean the bumper is as an alternative to the oem, no winkers.
