blended ground effects I finally got around to a little project I've been planning for a while. I know most of you don't like ground effects, but I like mine, and I'm not going to get into that discussion now. What I did was take some polyurethane sealant and fill the gaps where the ground effects meet the body. I sanded it smooth best I could, then painted it. I didn't have a whole lot of the stuff. If I had, I could have taken things a bit further with how far I wanted to blend it, but all the same, I believe it is a drastic improvement. I did it for strength as much as appearance. Also, I repainted the right front fender. The clear coat had started comming off. It was completely gone in places - looked really bad. My side view mirrors were black, I painted them too.

It'll surely make drying your car easier and you'll get less gunk getting built up behind those pieces.

I ended up using 3M polyurethane sealand 560W - cartridge so I can squeeze it out with a caulking gun. I got it from drillspot.com for $11.85 a tube.
