Ground effects/Styling kits

I'm trying to find some ground effects that have a bit more style than the factory kits. Does anyone know where to find some, and if you have pics please post them.
Thanks

a10beav, I have found 2 kits that I think are what you are looking for. They are both at Classic Industries [www.classic industries.com] [800-854-1280.] The kit I liked was part#40649 it looks very good and is not a Ferrari wannabe kit. It just brings out some extra class. It costs 695.00 but I woud expect to pay that much for grndfx. Also Classic Industries has other good restore stuff so get their catalog anyway.

Speaking of the Ferrari wanna be kits. That's what I want, where the hell can I find that at? I think that would look sick w/ the KITT nose & scanner.

MikeH, Motion Performance offers several interesting kits like Ferrari doors and targa hatch backs. Check out their Wide body kit I think you may like it. You will have to call them for info at 516-882-0068 or post mail at p.o.box 875 Baldwin,N.Y. 11510-0597. They are not online yet as far as I can tell. I hope this will help.

dont do it mike. thats just wrong. maybe somethin like aerotech doors would be ok but not a whole kit. its just not right. slap some ground effects on and drop your car. then its a badass.

glass T-tops
bone stock sloth of an engine LG4
T-5 tranny. thank god, i couldnt stand an LG4 auto.
Plans for an LT-1 or LT-4,
also plans for dual flowmaster exaust.

Got a corvette when i was 16, paid for it myself, screwed the engine up (idiot light didnt work, and i trusted the guy when he said he just changed the oil), and it turned into a project car.
now my TA is my daily driver. not a bad one, but it needs to be faster.

Not trying to look like ferrari, just trying to look different than the other third-gen camaro's in the area.

That's IT!!!!!!! Thanx, but where can I find that kit at & about how much would I be looking at price wise for it?
Also to "85WS6" I really don't like the really low look, it's just too much for me. I figure if I slap a full GFX kit on my car then it will look like it's been lowered, ya know? But what I'm still wondering is if the KITT nose would look weird w/ that GFX. Thanx guys

Yeah thanx a lot. That red Firebird is one of my buddies that I have been trying to get a hold of & he finally was able to return my e-mail b/c he moved & told me that Classic Industries sells them. I feel like a moron b/c I have that catalog, agggghhhh. But I jsut finally noticed them when he pointed it out to me. They are going for $695, is that a good price for the full GFX? Thanx

Okay, I've got a different idea than buying the GFX. I've got an '89 Formula with the black pieces on the bumpers. What do you guys think about getting Trans Am style bumpers(just bumpers without the black pieces), then dropping my car a bit. Do you think this would be too plain????

To some people: no, but in my opinion it is too plain looking.
