Default Rear Insert Question

I'm currently shopping around for a new rear insert for the goat. I've seen brand new OEM rear inserts go as high as $800!?

So I ran across this website: http://www.jhpss.com/Pontiac-GTO/bumperinsert.htm

How legit is this website? And does anybody have any experience with these inserts? Do they fit on an '06 GTO perfectly? And do they look OEM?

If not, can someone point me in the direction of a 'bang-for-your-buck' rear insert?

Thank you in advance!

Those inserts are OEM for the Holden Monaro in Australia. They will fit your GTO perfectly.

Another option is the Maverick Man rear diffuser. It is a little more expensive and will take some time to be shipped, but they look great. They come in fiberglass and carbon fiber: http://maverickmancarbon.com/archives/766

Do you think that the Maverick Man rear diffuser would look pretty good on a brazen?

I think it looks sweet, I'm just always so gun shy about putting non OEM exterior parts on my cars.

I think it looks great on a BOM GTO.

Do a few searches over on ls1gto.com and you'll probably find a few pics of one. There is probably one in this thread http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=130812 but I'm too lazy to search for you, lol...

The only downside with Maverick Man parts is the wait, I think if you order you have to wait a few months before it is actually made and shipped to you.

JHP is legit
