Ground effects

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I could find the piece of trim that connects to the bottom front of each fender and under the nose on my 91 Firebird t/a? I don't know the proper name but I checked my local scrap yards to no avail. Any help will be appreciated.

Re: Ground effects

It would be easier and cheaper to fabricate them. I would recomend galvanized (wear respirator when welding galvanized), but steel that was painted afterward would suffice.

Ill have to give it a try. Probably just go the galvanized route. Might as well do it's properly then first time. Thanks for the advice

Re: Ground effects

Good luck finding a good used pair unless you come across a low mileage car that was hit in the rear. Everyone tears these things up. Good news is that hawks thirdgen parts is now re-producing these pieces.

Hey thanks for the link. Think I'll go this route even though it's a little more expensive.
