Help C6 ZR1 Wide Body by Duraflex. Any reviews?

[DAVIDYR1]

I’ve been offered this wide body, made by Duraflex. Seller bought it from eBay and says it’s fiberglass. Asking $2,500.00 CAD only for panels. No inner vents or wheele wells.
Thoughts?
If it’s worth it I’ll go see it all in person but I could use some advice about the maker first.
Thanks in advance.

Never heard of this company before, If you install the front splitter, you will also need the front bumper reinforcement, and for the real look, you will also need the side skirt kit. Does the grill included in the kit?

I would also talk to a qualified body shop and get an estimate for proper install and fitment. Albeit most kits say "bolt on" I'm willing to bet there will definitely be body work requirements before primer and paint. Having said all that..... it will certainly make your C6 stick out from the crowd. I had put a mild body kit on and an older 911 and it certainly required some massaging. Try plugging in Duraflex customer reviews and see if anything pops up...

No personal experience with the Duraflex kits...so basically that means my post is about as useful as a leash for a goldfish, but I just want to say, Go for it! That looks great!**






** I am overly encouraging the purchase of this kit as it is not my money and I am totally ignorant to the amount of work it could take finish the kit and have it prepped and painted.

I did a quick google and there's reviews all over the internet.... some good some bad.... Basically highest marks given to price... so-so after that. go surfing David.

Thanks to you all! Yes the price is interesting but I'm going to see it in person first...I'm skeptical to say the least....but, I guess we'll see. Thanks again.

I used a factory GM rear kit. Installed complete in less than 3 hrs. Had quarters painted first so was real careful with install. Fitment was perfect. Used "Gene" at Parts warehouse. Not sure if still around but used to be on the U.S. forum all the time. Was $1200.00 U.S. 6/7 years ago.

Nice.

Gene is still around and I think his company is call Cultrag or something very similar.

I would definitely try and locate him and go with GM parts. To many horror stories with jobber. 345's work great on 12.5 HRE's

That’s a sweet looking car. I just love those HRE rims.
