Ground effects

are the ground effects on my 88TA glued on? I removed the screwss but they re still stuck. Can I just pull these off or do I need some glue remover or other tool?

There's no glue holding any of them on. Tell us which piece you can't remove and we'll tell you what screws you missed.

there are two screws on the front groundfx piece into the fender..and one in the rear that is accesible from the inside of the car, but you have to take off the interior panel.

Actually, the TransAm side ground effects mount slightly differently then the Camaro ones. The TA uses brackets with studs that bolt through the fender and rear quarter. You may be able to reach the nuts for the fender bracket without removing your inner fender or the fender itself by reaching through the gap at the front of the door (door open of course). That is the way I did it when I added TA ground effects to my Camaro. You'll need to remove the rear seat armrest panels to access the the nuts on the rear bracket. Hope this helps without being too confusing.

Nah. You don't need to remove the armrest panels. Pull out the 6x9s and just reach down.
