Convert ground effects car to no ground effects

Hello Everyone,

I am a new member to this forum although I have referenced it in the past quite a bit.

I've got an 89 Camaro RS that I am slowly working on. I would like to remove the ground effects package on the car in favor of the stripped down Sport coupe/Berlinetta type of look. What parts would I need to source to make this happen? In the end I am likely going to be going with some aluminum drag wheels, jack it up an inch or so in the back and pop in a crate 383. I've already sourced a super t-10 setup from an '82. Any advice with the ground effects would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

Bumper covers to start with, need to be swapped to non gfx.There is a brace that runs the length of the rocker panel below the door.That needs to be removed and your various holes around the gfx points will need to be plug welded.
