Help finding ground effect
Hi everyone, I am going to be repainting my camaro myself and I have the booth all set up, compressor and guns on the way, numerous hours watching videos and learning everything from how to block sand for high spots, to how to actually paint the car, however I have not found the final piece to my puzzle.
I want to replace the trim from the "flat" sided ones to the ones with the scoops in them. I am not sure what they are called, but I see them all the time on different third gens and I like them a lot more than whats on mine.
My question is what are they called, and does anyone know where to buy them, or have any they want to trade for mine or sell to me. I would love to have them for when I actually go to paint the car, but I will have enough paint left over if I just have to paint my old ones that I can do the new ones when I get them.
The first picture in my camaro as it is now, the second is a random picture of a camaro with the ground effect that I am looking for.
Thanks so much in advance for the help!

IIRC they take a different mounting flange that is spot welded to the rocker panel.

Re: Help finding ground effect
The front chin spoiler from a 91/92 will bolt on to the bumper fine and the front fenders just needs a slot put in them in front of the wheel well. The side door ground effects just need a few holes drilled into the lower portion of the door where the old ones went. The side lower ground effects that between the wheel wells just slips into the body holes for the old ground effects. Same goes for the rear although if you wanted to use the rears you would have to use a 91/92 rear bumper but most people wouldn't notice if you used a pre 91 rear bumper and rear side ground effect instead.
