where to buy ground effects?
Hi, I am fairly new to c4's and this forum. I am about to paint and restore (not original) an 85, and want to do ground effects and lower it. I've looked at pics online to get an idea of what looks good. But I havent found any good suppliers for the pieces I like that I can afford. I am not looking to put 1-2 grand into ground effects.
Here is the front I would like, where can I buy this?
Here are the sides and rear aeros I think I would like to run, again where to buy them? Notice they do not stick out much at all, unlike most of the sides I see. Heck, if I could find sides and rear aeros that were basically flat and did not stick out any at all, that would be ideal, but I havent seen any pics of such parts.
I am planning to go with either red or black for the color, with the stock rear wing.
Any help is appreciated.

The top is Alcee1 's car, he is local out here.
Try paging him in the C5 Gen or So Cal section, not sure if hes on here much anymore.

Take a look at www.zipproducts.com for your front spoiler.the one you like in the picture is going to reduce your air flow.

Hey Ron I'm still around, I'll always be around somewhere That front lip may be very hard to find as I got it years ago (20) but it can be duplicated. My rear wing was made at a boat shop just for ideas. I could take the front lip off and have it duplicated, but I don't think you will find it anywhere. I check for you.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I am still looking around to see what I want to do, but I need to make a decision before I start prepping the car for paint.
A couple of those links had no pictures of their products up. Why the heck do ground effects manufacturers offer a kit but only put one small picture of it up, or put a picture of a different version of the kit up? Most of the pictures are of late model c4's. I would think they would sell more if they put up better and more pictures of the actual parts installed and painted on a car, even if they had to discount/pay one of their customers to supply them.

Why are there so forking many greenwood kits out there? Looking at pics on this forum, cardomain, etc. I see all these cars with "greenwood kits" but the front ends look totally different on several of them. How the heck am I supposed to know what to buy to get the look I want? Vendors seem to drag *** about responding to email, if they do at all, and no one wants to provide any pics before expecting me to shell out a few hundred or a grand.
