I need some help to identify a peice??

I am in the process of getting my car painted and wanted to replace a few peices while she is apart. One of those being the front plastic air damn peice, which I have found on a number of different websites. But the other I have not, actually I don't even know what to call it.

On my GTA (1988) there are two peices of plastic that run on each side of the car underneath the passenger and drivers door. They run from the front wheel to the back wheel. They are starting to show there age now. What woudl you call these paices? I thought they might be called side skirts, and tried searching that with no luck. Does anyone know what you would call them? And where can I get new ones?

Any help would be great!
Thx.

They are called GFX or ground effects and look on the parts for sale or post an ad in parts wanted.

According to my source at my local Pontiac Dealer, those pieces are called Rocker Panel Air Lower Fence Deflectors ( GM Part # 10027611 Left & GM Part # 10027612 Right ). The bad part is they tell me these are discontinued from GM. However you might try an obsolete parts dealer.
