Default Molding GFX to my car?

I have seen many cars on this site with their ground effects molded on. What exaclty does it take to do this? I really like the clean look of this done to a car.

Bring it to a GOOD body shop. They will use bondo/filler to mold it in smooth.

2 Issues here...

1- The bumpers in are car are heavy as ****, and will eventually sag. There is a LOT of flex in both the front/rear bumpers. Whichs means the body work is prone to cracking...

2- Make sure the body shop is competant, and has a good reputation. They are probably going to charge you a good amount of $$$ to do the job. Don't bring it to some hacks shop... It will crack.

Better yet, take the GFX's off and have a body shop fill in the holes left by those ugly things.

That is not an option I happen to like the looks of my car with them on, I am sick and tired of hearing people like you bash them when there are people out there who like them and don't ask for that in the thread, my question was how to mold them on not how to take them off.
