How to add ground effects?

Hey- I have an 86 sport coupe that did not originally come with ground effects and i really want to add some to it... I know i would have to get a new front bumper cover, as well as a rear bumper cover, but what do you have to do to add the side ground effects? Does anyone know if they make a aftermarket kit that comes with all the hardware or would i be better off going to a junkyard and getting everything?

You need to get the bracket that is welded to the rockers. And you'll need to drill holes in your fenders and your quarter panels

You are best off getting the parts off a wrecked car. You will also need to drill holes in your doors, in addition to what was listed above. Spot weld the rocker panel bracket, you'll eventually have to re-do it if you don't (personal experience ). You'll also need the gfx style turn signal lenses and grille, since the sport coupe ones won't fit.
