Duraflex body kits

Has anyone used the duraflex brand aftermarket body parts? Looking for the reviews on them.

Don't have but I heard that duraflex is made of fiberglass and plastic so it may crack easily than having a true fiberglass body kit.

Thanks for the info, I just ordered the hood will look into the other pieces and materials that they are made of. I'm sure carbon fiber is the best? But more expensive or is there some other materials? It's just for DD and occasionally a car show

I have a 06 gt screamin yellow, I wanted the eleanor body, but I don't really like the hood so much. So I ordered a gt500 hood and just a front splitter until I can figure the body kit stuff out. And eventually put boss style stripes. So it's gonna have all kinds of different styles in one

if you have bonnet struts (hood dampeners) you may want to consider reenforcing braces on the sides to keep it from bending over time, similar to the C10 trucks of the old days (I think) I just remember some Chevy trucks having hoods that would bend over time due to the way they were constructed)

as for using the Duraflex kits I have not, but if Dura flex would want me to review parts like the bonnet I wouldn't hesitate to do so!
