Ground effect REMOVAL 4th gen Camaro...? I'm in the market for a 98-02 Z28 or SS Camaro...
I found one that's clean, no winters, 90k miles, 6spd and white. My only complaint is that it has cloth interior, but I can deal. The price is right.
It has factory installed ground effects... which, I personally, hate. Anyone have experience with these? Like can I remove them easily and have no issues...? Not sure how they're mounted and everything...
ANY info would be great! Thanks ahead of time!

Ya I CAN'T stand those ground effects but to each their own in this site but I heard if you take them off there will be holes or something underneath it was hooked up from so really don't know what route you should take.

I removed the RS kit off my camaro 2 days after I brought it home.
the after math
It cost me $1,600 to patch/re-paint the quarter/rocker panels.
I have yet to patch the holes on both the front and rear bumper.
they're aren't that noticeable compared to the other panels.

Verdad Gallardo Main reason I decided to purchase my 01 Z28 even though I hated the kit was because it was a 1 owner(older gentleman) bone stock unmolested Camaro which the original owner only drove approx 6k miles a year and always kept it garaged. Only had 62k miles which was pretty low mileage compared to the other F-bodies I was looking at to buy.

That's the ONLY thing that bugs me, I have everything I wanted in the car EXCEPT for a M6, that's what I originally wanted but they were all extremely low miles and over ten thousand dollars more or beat to ****, wasn't worth it but really wish I had a M6 
my 99 Z28 had the kit on it and I removed it and I had regret doing it afterwards...
I plugged up the ones from the spoiler but the paint was not that good around where it was..
you can see (kinda) a few holes in front of the rear wheel

I took the RS kit off my z28, but not the spoiler. The Downfall there is holes in the front and rear bumpers. Easy fix: Touch up paint for that color and year and u can paint them with a small pointed paint brush and paint the side of the holes. Practically unoticeable. Bad part is, the rocker panels on the sides are noticeable, very easy fix if taken to a body shop. you spend around $1,500 and have brand new rocker panels. Looks like it never even happened. Im a very picky person and I personally hated the ground affects but im very happy with the way it looks w/o the kit. BUT....if you have the money, keep looking you will find a VERY NICE SS or z28 that is better/less miles. Ive seen so many out there! craigslist...Ebay...great spots to look!
