Yeah mine are Armour Bodies. Woodcraft sells them and I think they were giving out free sets of frame sliders when you buy a set recently.
Personally I wouldn't buy the cheap shit because, from what I have seen (and trip will disagree since his seem to fit ok and held up well in his wrecks), the fit is poor, it's heavy, it's not flexible, you'll have to do a TON of prep if you want it to look good, and the fiberglass is cheaply put together.
If you take a shitty upper and flex it all over the place you'll hear crackles and pops like rice crispy treats and the flex isn't very good.
You pick up Armour Bodies (best bang for the buck IMO) or Sharkskinz and the flex is crazy and makes no noise at all.
The painter I went to fully agreed with me on all of this pretty much...
Basically, sharkskinz has no equal. Nothing compares. If you have the cash, go for it.
A very small step down in quality and a decent step down in price will get you Armour Bodies, great deal for what you're getting.
You can keep going down from there if your budget requires. Eracings is cheap both quality and money-wise from the sets I've seen, but you do get bang for your buck.
