91-92 style ground effects

I was searchin on here but couldn't find the post i was lookin for. I am going to buy a new ground effect for the front end on my camaro but was curious where i can get a new one for the cheapest price. Right now i'm lookin at about $230, but i thought i read on here that i could get one for like $180 or so. It must be a 91-92 style. Any info would be great. Thanks

It's going to be hard to get a "cheap" price 91 or 92 Z28/RS front ground effect piece. I looked for about 2 months....and I NEVER found one for under $230. I had to go to my local GM dealer and buy a brand new one for $230.00 plus tax. It was worth it though....they are very hard to find around here....and there are just a handful of 91-92 Z28's around here....

Are the Side ground effects fiberglass like the 85 to 90 style?? Just looking at them they dont seem like they would be with the vent on the rear of it and all, I would imagine it would be hard to make outta fiberglass.

Hmmm....the set I have sitting in the garage seem like the side skirts are a different material....stiffer/harder durometer. Hey if you all say so....I just that that....oh nevermind. An BTW trya junk yard for the skirts....I paid $100 for the front spoiler, side skirts, rear hatch w/ 3 peice wing, a bumper rebar, and a mint firebird dash pad. You gotta find the deal....and be patient

All the junk yards around here know the 91-92 ground effects are worth a small fortune

I've looked at the junkyards around here and the few 91-92 styles they had were in just as bad, if not worse shape than mine. I'm i'm a poor college kid right now and got my taxes back so i figured i wanna get at least 1 thing done on my car. That being the front end because it seems to be the only really bad spot that takes away from the rest of the car. heres a pic of the car but you can't really see the cracks in the ground effect of the scrape on the passenger front corner of the bumper.
