Default Removing ground effects

Does anyone have any tips or a write-up on removing the stock 98-02 Camaro ground effects? Mine are beat up and missing the front peices, but the tabs are still there.

interested in doing this to my car as well. Would like to know if there are any visible holes left from removing the front, sides, and rear.

there are holes, you have to drill out the rivets because it is riveted to the body. Depending on the color of the car you might not notice it especially if its black. There will be alot of holes though

My black 98 Z had them, I bent the brackets down and cut them off with a cut off wheel. The spoiler has holes drilled on the quarters and you will have to fill them, I just used tape on the inside and the shot black sylicone in the holes for now. I am about to have them filled in and the car repainted. The stock Z spoiler also has 3 holes in it and will need to be replaced.

If you just cut them off there are no holes and you cant even see it unless you get down on your back and look.
