On 1-10 scale how difficult was the install........This body kit was something i wanted for years... When i actually had enough to buy it i looked around for the cheapest "Duraflex" kit. Found it on ebay for about $550 w/o shipping. When the kit arrived it showed up in great condition in all the duraflex packaging.Now i don't exactly know what Duraflex material is supposed to be made up of, but i can tell you it was not any where near as flexible as shown on videos. Duraflex appears to just be 100% fiberglass that might...maybe be flexible. Mine wasn't anyways.The body kit went on pretty easy , the rear, and sides. The front bumper was Deformed beyond fitting my car. I had to hand it over to my Dad who had to heat it up really hot and force the bumper back into shape ( Because it wouldn't "Duraflex" into shape) Even still it looked good after finally installing it.Is it DuraFlex? I don't know, but if you ever order a kit just order the Plastic one with NO fiberglass in it. They are as flexible as plastic should be.Was i satisfied? No, because i paid about $150 extra for the Duraflex but it turned out to be just normal looking fiberglass.Ordered from? Ebay. The user I purchased from was express_aero_kits, shipping took way to long. I ended up having to track down the guys "Company" and reminded him a few times that he needs to send me my kit =/ Difficulty of installation? I think it depends on the level you wish to be involved. If you a person who doesn't want to get you hands dirty and you don't know how to draw a strait line even with a ruler, this is at least a 9/10 task. But if you willing to go out and get the right tools, and you're pretty good with your hands, this was about 4/10 and lots of fun. The kits comes with excess material that needs to be grinned back or largely but precisely cut off. I use a Black and Decker power-drill and a dremel tool for shaping and precision cutting.

If my car was an inch lower i wouldn't be able to get into most parking lots and my own drive way. If you look at the pics above you can see that my vibe is lower than my brothers Subaru which IS lowered. Hoped this post helped you!
