82-83 trans am ground effects removal

Hey guys,

I have an 82 T/a turned parts car and I wanted to mount the ground effects on my S/e. I got the front ones off .. with the fenders but I can't figure how to get the back ones out. Any explanations and or pictures would be great,

Thanks

There is a nut holding the rear ones (small ones in front of the rear wheels) that is only accessible from the sail panel (speaker) area.

1) remove coat hook
2) remove speaker covers (slide up)
3) remove speaker
4) reach way down and remove nut

I think you'll need a 10mm.

Ground effects for the 88, or the short rear pieces like on an 82? Either way, I might be able to help you.

Short ones off an 82

I am looking for both the front and rear. In black but any color will do.
