I never put GFX on a car but I can imagine it will be quite a pain alligning everything correctly. Plus drilling all the holes and stuff will be quite time consuming till you get everything allighned correctly. If you do decide to get them try to sick them on first to see if you even like it once they would be on before you go and drill them tight or glue them on or whatever. Just keep in mind you might need a buddies hand with mounting them.

i dont think it would be that hard. just make sure you take your time and dont rush it. nothing looks worse than a sh*tty GFX job.
i say go for it!

Thats where the sayin different strokes for different folks comes from, im presonnaly not a big fan of the blahish looks without the gfx plus the fact that it makes it appear even farther off the ground
----------
Im sure it might be, plus the fact that its a stripper car, factory A/C delete car with crank windows and no power locks, But since im pulling the motor anyways, im sure i can make up for the little bit of extra weight

Who gives two s--ts what looks better ?
That isn't the question that was asked at all.
Adding the aero package to a base car is fairly simple.
Sans having to fab the brackets I didn't have (due to buying the gfx GM new) , aligning the parts took about 2-3 hours.
