I'd wait for the '19 to be released. They look the same but the factory hood is a quarantee fit

I never owned duraflex products but I been reading the fitment is horrible .. you will spend $200-$300 getting it to fit properly..

I bought one, but I bought it as a fiberglass starting point. I'm chopping it up and making my own hood out of it so the fitment issues aren't a problem for me. I haven't put it on yet either, that's a couple weeks off still.

I will say the surface quality is garbage. Easy to see that even with the matte finish coating on it.

I don't own their products but the great thing about these forums is you can get a pretty good feel for a company or product before making the investment. Based on that alone, I can tell you I would not buy one of their products. Most comments have been less than stellar and it would seem everything requires professional paint and installation. If that's part of your plan anyways, then go for it. But if you are expecting to buy and install yourself, I would look into different options.

Purchased a rear window spoiler from car ID duraflex. Took it to two different shops. First 1 quotes me 300 for install paint second one 400. Both said it was probably the worst put together low quality piece they seen returned it the next week.. After paying the restocking fee as they have a disclaimer that some prep work is required. I learned my lesson. I will never purchase a duraflex product again
