Default good quality gfx kit

Looking for a good quality ground effects kit. That bolts on as good as factory and used very little body filler! Bought a fiberglass kit, from a sponsor here. Kit does not fit without removing bumper support, which I feel is dangerous. And still doesn't fit properly, when nothing is in the way. Looking for a good quality kit. While front and rear bumpers and supports are removed. Ordering aftermarket bumper supports now.

Well, this is the first post that indicates what kind of car you own. It kind of limits what responses you get if you don't let us know what you have. As for Camaro body kits, many are just dated in their design and scream 1990's when you see them. The factory kit is probably the most subtle and the one that has held up the best (in my opinion) to the test of time. One aftermarket kit that I still like is the Xenon kit:



With the right color, stance, and wheels this kit can look really nice. There was a guy in my town that had a silver Z28 with this kit and a one piece Freedom Design spoiler, dropped on sportline springs with some deep dish TT2's and it was ****.

have you looked into 6LE.

Although not body kits, but they do offer variances of stock body panels modified or add ons.

generally speaking on body kits, aside from the factory kits the next best in fitment will be Urethane Kits, Like what Wings West sells, the real problem is most of those didn't even look good back in the 90's and look even worse now, so that leaves you with the fiberglass parts from 6LE and anything less then that isn't worth looking at, as a general rule if you get fiberglass kits expect to have to do work (filler) to get the fitment right.

I'd say our splitter, RK Sport GFX (we carry them as well) and our CME valance. That would all be ABS (splitter) and urethane (the rest).

6LE is the way to go for sure. I blended a 6LE valance into my stock bumper earlier this year and I just painted the whole thing today and it looks bad ***.
