Ground effects screw up!! Please Help - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ssalter · 01-20-2010, 10:44 AM

Ok so here is this situation: I ordered my 2ss febuary 14 2009, First and foremost my dealer entered my order with hurst on the order and didnt correct the order before the cut off so i didnt get R6P. Ok now car was built 6-10, I received it 7-3, no ground effects or engine cover in sight.
So i spent the next 3-4 months going back and forth with GM customer service, i guess until i bitc$##$d enough that someone sent me a ground effects kit out, and engine cover!! Great!!! Right???
Well i took the Kit to get painted, and finally last weekend went to install. Started with rear just as instructions say, did both sides, went to front and started looking at hardware bag, Camaro base?? WTF??? The sent me a v6 ground effects kit!! So now i have paid to paint the wrong front. And ive called GM 3 times and its gotten me no where.
I ordered the car out of state and had courtesy delivery, so there were 0 help in getting me even the wrong kit, so doubt they can help now.
Can someone please tell me what to do?
I really wanna talk to someone at GM that cares, and doenst just sit at a phone and computer all day and punch a clock. One lady yesterday told me she would not ever be able to call me back until friday! it was Tuesday at 9 Am!!!

Help!!!
Anyone Please!!!

Sorry to hear about this. Good Luck. Did you pay for the GFX? If so they must get you the correct part and work with you on them sending you the wrong one and you having it painted. IMO

That does suck but once you painted the kit you are on your own.

The sides and rear should still work but the front end would not. Maybe you can just buy a new front end.

You should have test fitted the items prior to painting..

ssalter · 01-20-2010, 10:57 AM

Yea I paid for them with the car. And i would have test fit them, but my dad snuck around and had them painted for me for chistmas. So ya your right the sides and back are great! But now i have a IOM v6 Front
Any one interested?

See your PM

Sucks that you might have to eat the cost but it could be a blessing in disguise as there are better front kits out there!

I wouldn't let this situation linger on and continue to frustrate and annoy you. While you are stewing, stressing, etc., I don't think anyone at GM shares your pain. Install the rear and sides, they look nice without the front anyway, and drive around until you decide which after-market front you like best. The GM front GFX is more labor intensive to install anyway, compared to the after-market ones. Sell the V6 front.

i might be interested in the IOM front lip for the V6. how much do you want shipped to postal code t2z-0h1.

I would have tried them out before painting but if I were you I would try and find a buyer, eBay works.

Pk · 01-20-2010, 01:31 PM

Sell them on eBay
