Advice on parts
Hey,
Some advice would be appreciated. I have a camaro ss 2011 L99. I live in South Korea. Gm didnt import the 5th gen camaro into Korea, so they can't supply me with parts. So I will order from the states. I was given the new GM parts website and am in the process of finding out if they will ship internationally. GM website: https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/auto-p...-v8-gas-engine Is this a good place to order parts price-wise? Do you guys use ebay? I was thinking of ordering from Ebay (reputable brands and not from China!) The parts I need are: Spark plugs Ignition cables(HT leads) Engine oil filter Passenger compartment filter. Do you guys know if the above parts are the same for the LS3 as the L99. Thanks

Yes, all of those parts you listed work for the LS3 and L99. Same parts.
GMpartsdirect is a decent website, but they don't have the best customer service. There are some other similar sites and they are all associated with local dealers. Price wise they are not too bad, although you will pay more for certain parts. But seeing as how you are limited due to your location your choices are also limited. I would also suggest looking into RockAuto.com. I have used them quite a few times and they have very good pricing and a great parts selection, especially for OEM parts. I believe they also offer international shipping, but not sure about their shipping prices for it.

Ebay is a good source just look at customer feedback before purchasing.

have had terrible luck with ebay parts lately. I would go amazon first though I am not sure how it works internationally. partsdirect can be cheaper than amazon at times but amazon by far has the best customer service and return services.

I'm always cautious about eBay after my account got hacked and the hacker started listing ultra rare muscle cars through it. However, it can be a good place for hard to find or discontinued parts.
In my opinion, I'd give another vote for Rockauto.com I used them recently for an O2 sensor and it was about half of what the regular auto parts store wanted to charge me for a generic brand O2 sensor and this one was ACDelco (GM part). If they ship internationally I'd go with them first.

I order about 98% of my vehicle items from Ebay. With less than 1% issues, usually shipping damage. But mostly everything ships from the US. Check the feedback and number of items sold from the seller. There are knock off oil filters and spark plugs, so source your items carefully.
