I am not sure if there is a thread already but if so then I am sorry for the repeat because I couldn't find one.

Anyway, I want to purchase an aftermarket bumper but I want to know if anyone has any experience with the Extreme Dimensions Duraflex M-1 Speed Bumper.

How is the fitment? Should I just speed the extra a get the Mazdaspeed bumper? Please give me your feedback before I make the purchase.

Thanks in advance,


Rob

they are junk. i ordered a cf bumper from them years ago and i needed to get a refund. when it was made it wasnt wide enough to even fit on the car. never got it mounted, terrible customer svc, lots of time, $, headache.

run away

spend the extra. duraflex doesnt fit properly and your going to end up spending what you would have spent on the oem ms bumper making the replica look halfway decent

plus the oem ms bumper has real cf splitters

Nope, no CF on the MS stuff. And even legit body stuff does not fit perfect, we just installed an authentic Burn Out kit this weekend and it was far from perfect but we got it to look damn near perfect. Even the authentic R3 stuff for example fits way better than my authentic Mazdaspeed stuff.

The typical knock off stuff is horrible, absolutely horrible.

"Extreme Dimensions"
Their level of workmanship quality is in the name of the product.

i know i seen cf splitters but after close inspection i see they are extra

Here's a picture of my MS Bumper with CF splitters. The accents on the bottom of the bumper are apart of the molding of the bumper and are just painted gunmetal. They are not CF

If you do find other MS bumpers, let me know, i'm trying to stockpile them :P

Thanks for all the info. I actually found one for $137 but I think I will pass.

Can anyone recommend an aftermarket bumper that is at a reasonable price?

-_- just.gimme.my.ticket

whats a reasonable price to you for a raw bumper? (just the bumper shipped)

It all depends on your budget. You still need to paint them and install it (labor wise), plus shipping cost to your place...

You'll be spending a decent amount on a good front bumper and that doesn't include paint and fitting by the body shop. You may want to look in to a lip kit for less money and some of those are just in CF where you don't have to paint it.

Completely agree. I have the whole authentic kit and I thought it'd fit a lot better than it really does.

The only thing that fits perfect is the front bumper, sidemarkers fit better than my stock bumper did.
