[ebay]ground effects, never seen these before
These might look cool if somebody is going for a custom look, unfortunately the guy won't ship.

I think they look awesome myself. There is a complete ground effects package including front and rear, but I'm only interested in the sides.
They not only look good, they keep the rocks from chipping up the sides! :smash:

I installed the side pieces to stop all the stone damage to my paint . The car is lowered and I have not had any problems hitting anything in two years of driving it . No wings for me !!!!!

I hate those little turbo wings too, they're just too much.
You probably mean these wings:

BTW , the skirts are a pia to blend into the rear and front fender flared areas . If you do not have a bit of body work experience it is wise to have them installed by a shop . The over all quality of the pieces was very good and the surface only required minor prep for final painting . Thanx for complement twin !

Re: [ebay]ground effects, never seen these before (ram82fire)
Ill second that. It took me a whole week to get the whole kit to fit on my car. Things I have learned.
1. cover your arms w/ baby powder before going at it with the dremel tool.
2. Use pantyhose to get the embedded fiberglass out of your skin
3. always wear a resperator
4. Cases of cold beer makes fiberglass taste mmm mmm good :cheers:

Jeff, love your car too. I never really cared for that turbo hood but it looks killer on your car. I think it's the combination of wheels, skirst, hood and the black paint :)

Re: [ebay]ground effects, never seen these before (Twin_Turbo)
its actually the original 82 charchol metallic grey color that i repainted it with. I agree that hood does not look good by itself. It needs to be used in combination with the rest of the kit. I considederd a cowl hood but liked the curve that the hood mimiks off the fenders. I still dont like the collector series or turbo wing on any vette. :cool:

Re: [ebay]ground effects, never seen these before (Twin_Turbo)
actually, i like the 'turbo' wing. i guess that is what it is called. that little non-functional job they sell in ecklers and MAD. doesn't stick up that much and the one part of my body style c-3 i was never really crazy over is that big drop off from the back glass and then that huge NASCAR style wind jammer of a spoiler. i always thought the chrome bumper sharks had the best tail and i think that turbo (or whatever it's called) wing kind of fills in that huge dip. BTW, if anybody has one of those gawdawful turbo wings they want to get rid of, just let me know ;)

I always wondered if you have to drop the gas tank to mount those things and if you can still use your radio antenna..PITA :crazy:
