Ground Effects/Body Kit

I have recently completed my car which is an 88 Formula that I have completely rebuilt from top to bottom, I have changed many things on the cars apparence such as I had a wing off of a 2000 Trans am molded to fit to my hatch, (before they sold the aftermarket wing) and I added a 3 inch cowl scoop, also the car has the regular formula bumpers and with the car being white as it is I absolutely hate the black bumper guards on them so I took them off and shaved the wholes smooth and cut off the brackets and put mesh behind them, even though this looks extremely awesome 100% better than the original look I still believe it needs something, the car is painted Artic white with red and orange flakes, and it has a sunset red pearl in with the clear. The car simply glows, this color is amazing, but I really think the car needs ground effects and I was just wondering if anyone knew of a company that sold a body kit for these cars, I seen one on the internet one time and it looked awesome (I included a pic), so I emailed the company for a price and they never returned my email so now I have lost the website and I cant find it again but any help would be muchly appreciated and if no1 knows of any I may be interested in buying somones factory Trans am bumpers and ground effects off of a salvage car that you may have....:hail:

There is a guy I know that does some GREAT fiberglass body kits in San Antonio, Texas. If you want, I can send him a pic of that kit and maybe get a general quote. How much were you looking to spend?
