That blue car isn't a kit. Its stock. And yes, it'll all bolt right o your car, with only small mounting holes needed to be drill, which will be hidden behind the fx.

But the nose doesn't use a separate fx piece. Its all one piece, so you'd just swap the nose out.

Re: Firebird GROUND EFFECTS

Sorry...I got the 2 colors switched when I typed it.

The RED car is stock. Just hit a junk yard & put those pieces on your car. Same thing applies as I said above. Stock nose, just swap your nose for that one. The fx are molded into the nose, not a separate piece.

Everyone makes it seem really easy, but if youve never installed one before, and especially if youre working outside and dont have access to a proper garage and tools, it can be tricky.

Do a search for GFX or Ground Effects "REMOVAL". Theres alot of helpful tips in there. When you get the parts, just lay them out, and trace out all the holes to understand how its mounted. Take your time, measure twice and cut/drill once.

Its not rocket science, but you have to be a little intuitive, theres ALOT of bolts. Regardless though, it is pretty much a bolt in/direct fit.
