Custom ground effects

Has anyone ever thought about doing it, my friend are going to start on them for my 91 rs when it gets warm out. we are going to use fiberglass and take the front and sides to about 2 inches above the ground and install airbags. What do you guys think?

I think ANY original gfx for thirdgens is a great idea. There are so few choices in the aftermarket. BUT please do a tech with PICS

how's the street scene been in pottstown lately? haven't been up there in a few years...if the cops are cool, maybe i'll bring my blown iroc up once the weather is nice, and play around a little.

This sounds real interesting. Just what did you have in mind? Would there be any problems with fiberglass cracking? I've always wanted to do something like this.

This sounds like an excellent project idea, I've always wanted to try this myself, and one day may create my own body kit.

the 91-92 gfx are the best out there, and IMO they cant get any better, thats what i am doing.

Since its an '91 RS it should already have them, so ill take the old ones off your hands If your talking April Mayish as when to start, then at that time ill be interested in buying them becuase thats when i am going to put 91-92 gfx on my '88 SC

OR are you using the old ones and simply adding to them?

REVLIMIT has a new sig pic, and he's got some custom front valence going that looks pretty cool in the picture. Might wanna try PMing or e-mailing him.

EDIT: Here's the pic:

The lip in my sig isnt yet done though. I still need to do some fiberglassing and what not to make it look better. I also have a custom hood on there also. More things to come...although later (your all gonna hate me for this) imma probably custom on a Black Widow front bumper
