for anyone with experience bolting up some aftermarket body peices lend me your opinion. i damaged my 83Z so i am putting new front bumper and grill on it and it will be the 91-92 style while im at it i am also doing GFX. got this place that sells them locally for pretty cheap but i think they are aftermarket. i have heard some scary stuff about some aftermarket body peices.

 

My experience they fit like you know what. I bought a new front nose from GM and had to get the lower ground fx aftermarket. The GM part went on perfect but the aftermarket ground fx didn't line up worth a crap.

 

so was it possible to use or would you say dont bother get used or gm parts.

 

when ever i put an aftermarket bumpers on a car at work, they always look like ****. they never line up right. if you can get GM parts, then get them.

 

In my experience they fit like crap and are made out of about the same material as it.

 

sh|t. becasue the aftermarket companies use molds that were sold to them because they were out of spec. that = sh|tty fitment.

thanks

most aftermarket body parts suck, but I have seen good stuff come from aftermarket companies in texas. I think Hawks has body parts. might also try tacreationsusa.com. for used oem parts.

 

I have had mixed experiences:

-aftermarket rockers - crap crap crap. The flange on the door sill was a good inch off!

-aftermarket door skins fit like a glove.

-aftermarket door bottoms. a tiny bit off but usable.


All from the same company by the way.
