Ground effects removal?

Ok here is the deal, i have been trying to decide which way to to with my firebird, and so far i think i like the Formula look the best. Now i know that you can change the ground effects, but can i remove my stock ground effects and get the same formula look or will it be riddled with holes? and if so how hard is it to patch the holes? hell has anyone done this?
