Adding Ground effects

How hard is it to add ground effect to a 86 coupe? Mine don't have them but I'am thinking about going to the J/Y and pull a set off of another Camaro.

really informative reply

if you have a sc model, i belive you need to change your nose and rear bumper to allow for the lower lip. as for side skirts, you'll need to drill into the body to mount them. this is of course only if you dont have the mounting points on your car.

Basicly what he said is true, there will be some drilling tho, like for the quarter panel peices (4 holes per side) etc. i should know because i am in the middle of it myself, makes the car look so much more aggressive. hope ur turns out good.
