Re: Has anyone seen this lowering kit?

Looks like a pretty clean car. It's the same as mine, but I've got T-tops.

Are you talking about the ground effects? That's part of the W68 appearance package. They will come off, but if you take them off you'll have holes in the doors, fenders, and quarter panels. Not to mention you have to change out the front and rear bumper covers since the ground effects are molded in.

I'd leave them on, especially since they look to be in excellent shape.

Actually, these were only on 91-92. They were standard on the Trans Am, optional on the base Firebird, and not available on the Formula. But, most base Birds were ordered with them.
