GM-X, OEM-X Ground Effects Experience?

Hey Guys,

Has anyone had any experience with the GM-X, or OEM-X type ground effects. Essentially they're seemingly copies of the GM versions, but I'm wondering how they fit, if they're reasonable quality? They're around 50 - 75 % less than the GM equiv.

where are you finding these Neogenix? I'm looking for a kit for mine but not too many available for the v6.

Hey guys, before you order them based off of price, take a look at the rear GM-X. The pictures on all the websites (that I have seen) all look like copies of the GFX but when I received an ACTUAL picture of the item, it was very underwelming. The side skirts and fron lip look awesome but the rear look pretty bad (IMHO).
Here is a pic of one from a company that sells the GM-X.

Driven by style is where I was checking things out (it seemed inexpensive and they had awesome customer service).

Other sites that offer it in pieces or as a whole set.

Newcamaroparts.net
Bodykits.net
customautotrim.com
shop4bodykits.com

I did a lot of research and ended up with something totally different regarding body kits.
I ended up getting the stillen front lip and side skirts and the GM rear with MBRP square exhuast tips for a more complete look to the GFX Rear openings.
I hope this info was helpful.

Look at Millville's post, he found the same places that I did. EBay also has some vendors. As he pointed out though, they're 'different' and do have some quirks.

Yup, that's correct so far, which is what I was wondering about. What I was thinking though is that I could get the inserts separately, which would make up for it, but at that rate it's certainly getting cheaper to go straight for a reasonably priced GFX kit.

I bought a couple of these urethane copy-cat front spoilers to check out the quality. Trust me you dont want them at any price. I wont even go into who I bought them from and what a** he was about returning them. Typically these things are folded or rolled in a ball before being jammed in a box. I am certain the pictures you see for them on their website are photos of the actual GM parts, not what you are going to get if you make the mistake of ordering them.

My front spoiler fits fine it's the bumper piece that's about an inch off. did you buy and try any of these or just the front spoiler?
