Wow I'm sorry to hear that. I would suggest contacting them directly via their website as I am confident they would like an opportunity to discuss the quality of the product and find a resolution, however you said it was too busy for your tastes. I am positive any one of a number of people here would like to give it a try even with the possible issues you noted if you do decide to pass it on to another.

Like I said, definetly NOT complaining. It just wasn't for me. Honestly, most people probably wouldn't have even noticed the spots I mentioned, I'm just super anal. I just put it back in its packaging and have it set aside...hoping I'll find someone local that can put it to use...and maybe they'll show their appreciation by having some high speed fun.

Your sons car? I love it.

Stay tuned to American Authority and MPConcepts....they have some surprises releasing soon.
I sent you a DM, hope to hear from you.

If anyone else is currently shopping, use code sstormtroopr5 to save with American Authority.

For anyone who wanted an update on the side skirts, from American Authority.

The install was fairly simple. There were only two fitment issues. Both were on the corners near the rear quarter panel. On both sides, the piece isn't flush with the car. It's more of a cosmetic eye sore but it's not terrible. Other than that, it fits perfectly and it looks great. With just the front splitter it seemed that there was always something missing and the car was lacking flow. The side skirts absolutely eliminated that feeling.

Decided to go with the GM version. Looks clean on my black Camaro! They say its real carbon fiber. Feels built VERY well. I know it was not free but I feel my Camaro deserves the OEM part.

Mine rubs just the slightest bit. I like the way it looks and I have actually gotten compliments that it looks great. I will keep it just because I simply cannot fathom spending $100+ on a fuel door. I am the only one who does my gas so I can finagle it so it doesn't hit. For now, it is staying on.

ALSO! I cannot believe that AA is now charging $60 for this now!!!! It looks nice but come on now, it's plastic. If I spent $60 on this, I would be extremely disappointed. Glad I got it for free and I am grateful for that.

The GM door is a perfect fit with its curves. NO rubbing and looks a tad nicer with "Camaro" if you plan to upgrade. Feels sturdy and heavy Worth it IMO. You paid 35k+ for your car... Do you want a piece that rubs?
