Everytime duraflex bumper I've worked with required a lot of Bondo, sanding, and blocking to to get it to match OEM fit and finish. It's worth it in some cases, but on my current build, I'm buying OEM NISMO bumpers.
Great video! I'm currently debating buying a 350 that's missing the front bumper and was virtuous about how difficult installing a new one would be. You hit all the most important points and made it look simple.
You got a new subscriber Sir :D Your videos are great, not like much other youtubers that are talking and talking and a video is 15min long for tightening one screw. Keep up the good work ^^
Just got a duraflex bumper for my 97 Camry and it’s fucking sick it was just a pain in the ass breaking all those 20 year old retainer clips off with needle nose pliers 😂 just came here to see how others install
Xhail nah I say try to do it yourself if you feel you can do it alone ask a friend it’s more fun than taking it to a shop then you gotta spend extra money
@@Mistyfgdf yeah I pretty munched just wiped the hole bumper with 91% alcohol and then wrapped it you will just have to use the heat gun often for it can stick good.
What did you use to hold the bumper up? I’m looking to buy a aftermarket bumper and I’m trying to understand how you hold it up? I hope u can get back to me 😮💨
First of all it’s fiber glass not plastic & I may or may not have been going 150+ hit a bump once I landed the bumper took to much force I guess and just exploded
I put a Razzi body kit on my 06 monte carlo...fit incredibly well and way more flexible and durable than the duraflex...and for the full kit (bumper lips x2 & side skirts) almost 100 bucks cheaper than the duraflex...check it out not sure if they make nissan stuff
I just ordered the same bumper for my 350z, this helped my confidence to install it by myself, So the heat makes it easier to install? Bc it makes it bend easier ?
Yo Cameron can you make a video DIY paining the bumper white.. because I have the same Z just that mine is an 06 and I’m waiting for my Nismo bumper to come in but I wanna try to color match it before I start saving money to actually get a entire car wrap.. THANK YOU LOVE THE VIDS
Do not buy these bumpers. I ordered 7 of these bumpers from the factory directly. I took all 7 back because none of them fit properly and all had the same defect. The upper clip lip that you clip into the rad support that goes under the hood is not made properly. It’s made 1 1/4” shorter than it needs to be. I spoke with the local company here in CA and the company that makes them over seas and showed them the measurement fitment issues they and they said that their design and they won’t be changing it. They told me to modify my car to fit the bumper and car rather than fix the flaw in their bumpers. If you must have this bumper look at KBD, much more durable, lighter and the fit and design is 100x better. Like I said I tried 7 times to run the DF Nismo bumper but it’s not made right. KBD is a much cleaner bumper. If you decide to go DuraFlex just know you’ve been warned lol
CK_32 hey man I have heard a lot about these bumpers but was wondering about the KBD V3 bumper. Did you get one? I hear they sag with all the weight and they’re not as light. just been looking into and was wondering if that’s the best choice
Chance Monagon I ended up getting the KBD ING instead of the V3 since everyone is getting V3’s now. They are heavier and at first when you see it flopping around I thought the same thing. No way this things ganna stay on and not flex. But when you mount it becomes super solid. I have a 460hp turbo Z and have been around 170mph with mine and it hardly flexes at all. Especially when you have the factory splash guard or aftermarket front splitter on. Trust me it’s 1,000x better than the duraflex crap. Fits about the the same around the head lights but it’s literally indestructible and is cut and made way better. You won’t regret KBD trust 👍
@@gianvmarco be happy you saved your self a ton of head ache like I did. Stupid warehouse I picked those duraflex bumpers was 2 hours away from me. I made that drive all 7 times before I learned my lesson lol
I’m buying a custom bumper for my car. Should I have it put on professionally and what do I have to do to get it to be the same color as my car? (It comes black)
I for real man if you have anything that will work for a 03 350z.. left over, extra that you want to get rid of let me know. I'm not asking for anything free I will pay and again live in az to so no shipping cash in person. I need any mods i can get..my car was stolen and destroyed most everything inside just to steal a $40 sub and deck .. If anyone in AZ has wheels let me know stock rays/after market wheels any brand jvc anything..anyways YOUR CAR LOOKS KILLER DUDE...
Thank you! I appreciate the love! Speed3 peeps have a special place in my heart. I'll probably get another speed3 down the road for nostalgic reasons lol
Yo if you decide you want a better bumper down the road, hit up bmccann101 on Instagram. He makes a sweet 350z but.per that kinda looks like a 370z nismo bumper. Just a thought. Keep it up man! You have made more progress on your z in a few weeks than I have made in a few months😂 sucks being a college student.

Good luck bro
What the hell? You got that pos bumper to line up so well, you guys really have a knack for this sort of thing
That bumper makes 350zs look really awesome way better than stock

You and Christian got those duraflex bumpers
Who's christian?
Cameron Alford Christian Ngo, look him up on RUclips, he’s pretty dope
Cameron Alford also it would be dope if you made a montage for the 350z progress, I could edit it for you and use some of my songs
Cameron Alford it’s the Illiminate gang, be he’s not apart of it no more I think

good job
Nothing like a good ole durashit
Would you recommend a professional to install it?
Motordyne_350z No that wouldn’t be as fun.
No
Dominic I’m thinking about getting it and I’ve never done anything like this so should I get a pro to do it or just figure it out
Xhail nah I say try to do it yourself if you feel you can do it alone ask a friend it’s more fun than taking it to a shop then you gotta spend extra money
Xhail hope it goes/ went well
I just got that same bumper for $180 used, fitment isn’t too bad. How did you fixed the gaps under the fenders?
Heat helps it to bend and conform better. Leave it in the sun for about 20 minutes and it should soften up enough to conform better
30K subs!! Congratulations...
If you ever need any help on the car just let me know, done more then enough work on my past cars lol
Did you not use the tabs and switched to screws ? What did you do to secure the bottom?
AZ representing 🌵
Yeet
Did the hood close better once you took the roll of tape out of the engine bay? Just curious. Planning on getting a bumper this summer.
Can you wrap the new Front Bumper ? Or do i need to coat it first with a primer before i can wrap it
Did you ever figure it out? I’m getting a bumper from duraflex and want to know if I have to primer it
@@jaysteezy_srt6896 did you figure out?

Assuming some good stuff happens next month, imma look into buying my first stick and project car (350z)

That gap is fine. Atleast in my opinion.
good video ! I wasnt sure on how to do the holes for if I get a custom bumper

Should’ve got them at shine auto project
I actually have a durables bumper in my cart as well! How did the bumper feel? Cheap plastic? Was it worth it?
Daily Motions pos bumper mine exploded last week
Toxic Modz enlighten me on how a bumper grenaded.
First of all it’s fiber glass not plastic & I may or may not have been going 150+ hit a bump once I landed the bumper took to much force I guess and just exploded
I already feel uncomfortable going 100, 150?? Hats off to you. So it looks like I have to find a different material front bumper

Yes it’s in the instructions leave it in the heat for about 1-2 hours and it’s easier to move
Easier to move and once you get it on heat it some more to help it fit a little nicer
Did you make it happen?
I want a corolla and modify it. Is 3k enough for bumpers, skirts, spoiler and wheels?
Get a metal undertray unless you're just flipping the car. The OEM plastic one sucks.
MORE 350z CONTENT!!!
Juss gettin into cars, what’s the difference between a bumper Nd a bumper cover?
Hi i want to put a Duraflex bumper. Is it recommended? Is it flexible like a normal Oem bumper would be?. Let me know. Thank you in advance.

Why don't you wrap or paint the rear bumper the same colour as the front.It will have a two tone finish.
Just a suggestion.
I know this isn’t about the bumper but where did you get that red hoodie at 3:08 lol looks nice
You should buy a smaller antenna👍. Would look cleaner.
Put one on the car last night :D
@@CameronAlford Awesome! Keep it up bro!
Firestone stretches tires
Not bad. If I put it on a track car it’s fine
Is this bumper better than the KBD one? I've heard that the KBD shrinks in the sun. which brand is better over time?🧐
Kbd is better than duraflex 100%
