with or without ground effect??

hi,

my firebird V6 have no ground effect, so do others firebird in Taiwan, I saw many firebird pics with ground effect and most of time I thought they are not look better but the good thing with ground effect is the fog light......so I don't have fog light!!!

What do you think about the ground effect ? like it or not ?

How can I put on the fog light and still look clean ? (the firebird and formula owner ??)

Joe

I like ground effects. I don't like seeing no gfx on Camaros, but some look really good. Birds can get away with no gfx, but I prefer to at least see them with GTAs or 17s.



Sometimes gfx look chunky, and other times they look gorgous. Sometimes when I look at my car from one angle, I think it needs gfx, when I look at it from another, I think it doesn't.


I am choosing to stay with no gfx.

I say no gfx. I think birds look sleek and slim without them.

IMO ground effects on 3rgen camaros look great, but the Firebird ones don't. I have a 91 Formula and I think it looks 10 times better than the GTAs of the same year. Something about them looks funny the way they are on the sides by the doors

Gotta have GFX on camaros...its a must. I won't comment on the birds...I never PERSONALLY liked firebird...never have...not the 1st gens, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. Don't flame me I still drive a car with the same frame and everything.
