people have done it before. Its just some have problem since the gfx flex so much. If you dont want the RS emblems you can just take them out and then replace them with what you want.

yes they can be a problem with filling them i could only imagine ...i wouldnt think it would be that big of a problem if you filled them correctly with the right fiberglass resins and matting

He said he wanted to go with ground effects from a 91 RS. The 91-92 gfx weren't made out of fiberglass, they were made out of urethane. Just thought I'd clear that up. You might see if you could get a place (or yourself) to plastic weld it.
