Default Extreme Dimensions, Duraflex 993RS bodykit

Been asked to investigate Duraflex spoilers & skirts by a European customer who wants us to convert his 993C4 to look like a M003 993RS Clubsport. I know that (usually) you get what you pay for, so at $1100 for a complete kit, does this rule apply? I would appreciate it if anyone could give me some fedback on his behalf, good or bad. Thanks in advance.

Stay away! I bought a set of Duraflex front GT2 splitters and promptly returned them. Quality was non-existent. Thin material (probably why it flexes) it will eventually break. Was not even close to lining up. Holes not in the correct places. I know it will take some massaging to get something that is produced aftermarket to fit correctly but this would have been a real undertaking. Just my opinion.

I have never seen an aftermarket m003 kit that looked correct.
Two areas that usually suffer visually are the inlet demensions/shape and the way the outside leading edges are positioned over the rear flares. In extremely poor examples you can even see droop in the wing blade.

The closest copy I have seen was Ma Shaw, though prep high due to pin holes.

I bought a pair of durables rs skirts a few years ago and tHen returned them.

They required a lot of work to make fit correctly. While they show a really pliable material in their videos, it is still basically a fiberglass product.
In my experience MA Shaw products are better made.

I installed the GT2 EVO bumper on my race car and had good results. It required a bit of fitting, cutting, bending, but the gel coat was was thicker than the Getty stuff (which I also have). So it is a trade-off. Priming and painting on the Duraflex was better, but the initial fit was better with Getty.
