Removing Ground Effects Just had a quick question for anyone who might know something about the ground effects on fourth gens...I have been thinking about buying an LS1 or LT1 F-Body and sometimes find good deals on cars with ground effects on them however my personal taste is that I do not like them but was wondering about removing them...Are they a major pain to remove?...And even if not are they held on in such a matter that taking them off leaves holes in the body exposed?...I always though that the brackets or whatever hold them on were bolted right through the body but again I had no idea what the deal was with them...Any info would be greatly appreciated fellas!!...Thanks!!!!...

Re: Removing Ground Effects Hey you got it!...However that is not TOO likely to happen...I'm kinda partial to the darker colors...Black's my favorite but after having a black '98 trans am a few years ago I'm not sure I wanna deal with that hassle again...Navy blue metallic, pewter and especially silver are what I'd like...

Re: Removing Ground Effects Well, I heard that on the stock pieces, when you take them off the rivet hols are all visible. They have holes where the body kit was attached to the rest of the panels. Not too noticeable, but still there.

Re: Removing Ground Effects Yeak,removing them will leave exposed holes. On metal its easy to fix but plastic like front nose and rear bumper, as far as I know the only solution is to replace the parts.
