Installing Groud Effects

well guys i took a trip to the junkyard saturday morning and found a trans am. well i got the top part of the back seat out it was absolutely perfect except for light dirt i also got the gta gridstyle taillight center piece since i didnt get it when i changed my taillights and i got 2 sets of headlight motors(both work) and the headliner trim piece cause mine was cracked and this one was perfect and then i took off the front bumper rear bumper and all the side skirt pieces but i couldnt get off the little metal bar that holds the mounting bar on. it looks to be beaded on i was wonderin if theres anyway of gettin around having that or if i have to go back and chisel it off. o btw i got all of that for $150 haha great deal and the ground effects arent cracked or chipped or anything just need painted.

Take a cordless drill and drill out all the spot welds.

It will fall right off

Been there, done that

What I did was to weld small tabs on the car where the holes on the ground effects lined up. It worked fine.
