I heard duraflex requires a ton of filler..can't say much about Sarona..just heard Duraflex was not a good look. From my experience with my Vertex kit..it was a perfect fit..you get what you pay for

With kits it falls in the category of You Get What You Pay For. Case in point are legit Japan kits vs almost anything else. Have you looked into a legit Wald kit vs the duraflex? You'll pay to make the duraflex kit even fit right. The wald kits will fit perfectly.

I don't do any kind of body kits for this car but I have experience with the duraflex product from my other car and it was a bad investment.It still doesn't look right, and you will need plenty of filler to fix it. Considering the labor alone the more expensive poly kits are the real value.

No.....and no...... Duraflex is the better of the knockoff kits but still does not fit well. Sarona is notoriously wavy and ill fitting and very heavy. You'll spend more on the labor to make the kit fit than the actual cost of the kit.
