I have been looking for the side ground effects that were on the 1987 non-Z28/IROC convertible models.

My understanding is they were installed to cover up the additional bracing for the convertible conversion.

Anyone have a good set they are willing to part with?

 

Isnt that the brace itself, looks like anyway. Due to the brace being about 5" wide and sticking out past the rocker a bit. On Irocs/Z cars the gfx is sliced in half length wise, so it can be reattached to the rocker. Hard to tell in the pic if something is in front of the brace, but being a ASC part more than likely its going to be a VHTF piece.

 

I'm sure this piece is identical to those installed on convertible Firebirds such as the Formula model. At first I thought it was a cut off regular ground effect. I'm not sure it's the actual brace though.

 

I dont think ive ever seen one. Might be a tough find, sorry to say.

 

Edit at the end of my post.

There wasn't any gfx. On converted base model, non-gfx cars, both Camaros and Firebirds, the bottom of ASC's "subframe connectors" (braces) were left exposed, like the car in your picture. Checkout foz's 89 Formula convertible in this month's COTM/COTY, and you'll see the ASC pieces exposed.

Then beginning in 1991, all base models that were ordered as convertibles automatically received the factory gfx option, specifically to conceal the ASC pieces, though I believe this only affected the Firebird by this time, because the base model Camaro was the RS, which already came with gfx.

So if you're insistent about concealing those ASC pieces, then you'll need to get the altered gfx from an RS, Z28 or IROC convertible, or grab some junkyard gfx and trim it yourself.

Edit: There was a little black plastic trim piece that concealed the joint where the ASC piece met the body on cars without gfx. Kind of like a baseboard, where a wall meets the floor. But it still left most of the brace exposed on base models. The car in your picture appears to have that trim piece installed. That's all it got. No gfx was used.
