Default What kit is this??

Just wondering if anyone knows about this Duraflex W-1 kit sold by Extremedimensions.Com. Does anyone know if this is a replica of another kit? Also does anyone have any experience with Duraflex? Thanks

Here is the link:

Also whats the pros and cons between Polyurethane and fiberglass?

PU flexes, fiberglass cracks/breaks.

Authentic fiberglass stuff best for fitment...can be re-worked somewhat and can be fitted better.

Thanks guys.

Has anyone here personally used Duraflex? I've heard about fitment issues with these.

There's also another one by Couture call the J-Spec which is essentially a GFX replica kit. Anyone know how Couture compares with other brands??
