Default Ground Effects. On or Off?

Okay so I just recently bought my first Camaro. The guy who I bought it from kept it stock, Minus the lid. It's a red 99' Z28.

I've had it for about a month now, and I'm still kind of iffy about the ground effects. Should I keep them? Or take them off, and sell them? If I do take them off, How much should I be looking at to get them removed, and the holes to be filled?

Thanks guys

Never liked the ground effects on camaros. I don't like ground effects on any car really.

I took mine off, wouldn't have it any other way.

All you need is a drill to drill off the rivet head for the rocker panels.
On the bumpers, they pull out pretty easily from the plastic, I didn't drill them, but you might want to.

I actually have the one that came from factory. I'll try posting some pictures later on when I get home.

I just think that without the ground effect it gives it a mean-er look so I'm leaning more towards taking them off.

Yeah that's the thing that I like about them. It makes my car lower. I'll def lower it a little if I do decide to take them off.

Ahh what to do, what to do.
