is there a difference between the duraflex kit and the razzi..... looks the same to me... imo looks the same
but what I really wanna kno is if there is a difference with material, which is more costly to paint and install.....

Personally, I would go with Razzi, the originator of the kit.

chlpzahoy · 01-24-2008, 03:32 PM

are they made of the same material..asking becuz many threads on this forum are ppl talking bout how costly it is to prep and paint certain kits and i just wanna make sure before I ordered the front....
every1..c'mon need ur input here

BTW, Razzi kits are made of Aero-Flex ABS Plastic Composite material.

Razzi is a more reputable company, I would trust them more than duraflex. They're kits as stated above are of better quality.

so pretty much so far the Razzi would be better to get becuz of reputation, but how better is it when it comes to being prep and painted vs duraflex????

I have the Razzi - painting? No problem. Fit? - no problem. Durability? - no problem (I live where we have 0F and snow). Hands down - take the razzi..ABS, easy painting, easy fit, total =$1400 painted!

Tobeit...thanks for the response....u answered all my questions...... but $1400 isn't alot??? also do you know if they will only sell the front facia.. i dont need the full kit becuz of the back valence.. I would prefer to get the rear valence like benca1 has made for the single exhaust. I dont wanna run dual exhaust nor would I even think about puttin a 2nd fake to fit... andy ideas????????

All help and suggestions are aprreciated

A bodyshop shouldn't have any problems covering up the extra exhaust port.

chlpzahoy · 01-25-2008, 02:38 AM

thanks epsilon...never occurred to me that is an option now... my thanks......

chlpzahoy · 01-25-2008, 02:43 AM

Tobeit..did u have Razzi paint it and ship it or did u get a local shop to paint and install that made it total $1400.

Epsilon · 01-25-2008, 02:43 AM

No problem. You will save yourself a good bit of money since the SET rear lip cost more.

I had it painted by Razzi (kit + paint is $1400) and installed it at a body shop (free, was part of my deal to buy the car from my dealer). You probably can find a better deal on the painting and only buy the kit - it is just convenient.
You can buy the individual pieces, i.e. front, rear,and side skirts. I like that as well ...just in case I bust one I only have to buy the broken piece and not the entire kit. But that should be the case with most kits now, I believe.

Another option is the kit offered by Dealer Installed Options. It is pre-painted ABS plastic and was designed and is used as a port-installed option at Southeast Toyota and Gulf States Toyota. Installation is painless, about 2-hours and the website claims 7-years service parts availability, so no worries if you damage one of the parts as long as you do it within 7-years of the model change.
