Re: Which ground fx should I go with?

if they have a crack in them are they hard to repair? i am looking at 2 camaros in my area to use as donor cars.. both have good parts that i could use and i would only need to spend like 1500 for both cars.. anywya just wondering if once they are cracked it hard to repair or if it is something simple for a body shop to do.. thanks

They are (according to GM) a better product because they are supposed to allow more air to cool the brakes To me they look the same and if you do change them you will need to get the different mounts from the doner car, they are NOT a direct swap.

Hey, Uncle,

I'm shocked that your eyesight, at your advanced stay on the planet, is good enough to recognize a difference !
