Ground effect kit

I want to know the opinions of the V6 owners. I want to get a ground effect kit for my 86 SC. I can get a performance ground effect kit for $599USD (which will cost me $830CAD) from Classic Industries, or I can get an IROC style ground effect kit for $699USD (which will cost me $970CAD) from Classic Industries, or I can go to some custom shop and see what they have to offer. What do you guys think?

I don't care for the later front spoilers with the fake air ducts in the sides. They got too space age looking for me. I obviously like the earlier Iroc rims better also than the later flat ones- mine have that dished wider look.

Make them real working ducts, I think I will do that to my brakes though I highly doubt they will ever need cooling.
I want either 88-90 Iroc rims or a set of 91-92's, still havent decided yet.

That would be cool; I've seen some of that clear reinforced tubing at Home Depot; in their "pool supplies" area...

Don't forget you've gotta spring the cash to get those gfx painted...

Yeh, I'd say go stock. Recently acquired my gfx kit from a bone yard, the total setup ran me $275 for all different colored pieces, but all in good shape. That and my front end was messed up anyway, so it was time to change it off despite the new one. Is nice though, i installed a set of foggies and the front bumper and fender gfx and looks real sweet, and definately stock is better.
