Has anyone had any issues with their GM ground fx staying attached to their car? More so @ the nose of the car and just at the wheel well.

I have a 2011 black synergy series and it's doing the same thing. I took it back to the dealership and the bodyshop took a look at it. I was told this is normal and usually happens. Was told to keep an eye on it to ensure it didn't get worst.

My GM ground fx looks similar. They were installed by the dealer and when I picked it up I mentioned there was a small gap front center and on the sides like your photo. We looked at 3 other Camaros on the lot that had the ground fx installed from the factory and they all looked similar or even worse! Unfortunately, it's not the perfect fit I was hoping for.

Mine looks the same.

Well I guess I'm glad in a round about way that its just not ours. The other pic of the front angle didn't load, But my reappearing gap there, I can fit probably 2 stacked quarters through. I can't fathom the adhesion giving up that quick though. Something just doesn't seem right. At the same time, I'm pretty sure y'all had a more competent dealer do yours,my dealers body shop is more or less one of those who "can't get right".

Had mine three years, have to by emblem tape constantly

Aubrey64 · 09-17-2013, 11:09 PM

Yeah, on my drivers side, it looks as if it is about to pop off. I need to go buy some more tape for it. My dealership told me that it is normal, but that you can use some sort of automotive glue to help hold it all together. I wasn't interested though because I am getting a new fascia on soon

Snyderbuddy looks like your re missing the side brackets. The 3m tape is pressure sensitive. I used clamps on mine for about 30 minutes.

When i bought my SS, the aftermarket parts salesman told me not to buy the GM ground FX for exactly this reason. Might want to take it back the dealership and have them fix the problem .
