Default Opinions needed, Ground FX

I know a lot of guys don't like the way the "stock" (from GM) ground fx look so they just take them off and try to sell them. One guy was going to sell me them for $290 including shipping, and they were already the same color... but he backed out. This other guy I talked to today wants to sell them to me for $400 including shipping, the right color again. What do you guys think? It's a great deal I know, but people sell them all the time. I have to call him back tonight, so anyone who is viewing this, please at least give me one sentence of your opinion, atleast a "yeah" or "Neah" thanks

IMO ground effects look cheap.. stockers or aftermarket ..

If I were you I would just cut the springs and lower the car a good bit. Makes a more aggressive stance .. or buy aftermarket lowering springs.

Just my opinion.
