Where to order parts online?

I have been looking at making a few upgrades to my Camaro, and I am wondering what some of the most reliable online stores to order aftermarket parts from would be. I am looking at a spoiler and a front lip splitter, and there will probably be more down the road (like cold air intake). Though cosmetic, I don't want to waste money or time installing a piece that isn't going to last.

Preferably a website that is based in Canada would be best, but as long as they ship to Canada that works too.

Or even if you have ordered a specific spoiler or splitter that looks great and fits true to the car then I would like to hear about that too.

Phastek ships to Canada and has reasonable shipping rates.

Being in BC myself, I have ordered stuff from the following and have received great service and turn around times:

Wildhammer
Rock Auto
Anderson Composites (although lead times were getting up there but quality top notch)

Shipping is what it is. I'm 3hrs from the border in WA so I at times have stuff shipped there to avoid large shipping charges (in your case it is going to cost a pretty penny to ship a spoiler or front lip spoiler).

ACS is in Canada but they are expensive. I got my zl1 skirts a few weeks ago from them and they are nice but to be honest no where near worth what they charge for them

ACS side skirts are not cheap, but I wouldn't say they are no where near what they cost. I'd say they are in the top two of ZL1 style side skirts available for the Camaro in terms of quality and fit and finish.

Generally ACS makes and sells quality parts for the Camaro.

in my eyes they are not worth $800. $400 yes. I was expecting to be blown away opening the box and all but honestly just felt like 2 big flimsy plastic skirts that probably cost them $40 to mold and $50 for shipping. the rest of 700 in profit.

Would I buy them again. Nope I would go with EOS probably and get them to fit correctly for $600 less
Mine have scuff marks all over them as well and wasnt to happy about that since I am super anal about all my stuff to be mint. For the price they should have come PERFECT. Most probably wouldnt notice them but I do and I paid a HUGE premium to get something that should be perfect out of the box. I cannot polish that out as that would basically turn them to gloss.

Sounds like you are either not happy with the condition of the side skirts you received or you have buyer's remorse, or perhaps both. I'm picky too, but I had no issues with my ACS side skirts. Have you contacted ACS about your concerns? I found them to be very helpful when I was trying to decide which side skirts to order and with answering all my questions. Granted I didn't have issues with my order, but based on my experience with ACS I suspect they would like to hear your concerns.

It's funny since I thought the ACS rock guards are over priced, not the side skirts. But we all have our own opinions about things.

I didnt contact them because I doubt they care if there are light scuffs that are there from shipping that only bother me. I had a bit of buyers remorse as soon as I took them out and honestly felt underwhelmed by them for what i paid. its over with now they are on the car and look good but I will always give my opinion if anyone asked they are not worth the price they cost.

ACS is top quality stuff, so you pay for what you get. Their products are composite material which is 3X Stronger than ABS. Scratch and Distortion Resistant. 100% North American Made.
If you had issues with your order or condition of the product, I would call them. I know my side skirts were wrapped in a box with no issues, but anything can happen during packing and shipping.

I emailed them. I dont really expect anything. they are already installed on the car. I dont want another pair and have to drill out every rivet to put on the new ones.
They are definitely 100% NOT scratch resistant. If they were there wouldn't be scuff marks and such all over mine

I get scuff marks on mine all the time getting in and out of the car. (Scratch resistant compared to ABS plastic) They normally come off with a wash, but I use 3M Finesse It Polish to remove any stubborn micro scratches. Stuff works wonders on minor scratches.
I get it... lots of dang rivets holding those skirts on.

these are not transfer marks that come off easy. Nothing came off with a IPA wipe down and when I ceramic coated them before I put them on the car.

+1 here... if you have any issues, they are very responsive via phone. Returns are super simple if parts are wrong.
