I believe I would consider it if I had more cash flow.

I have ground effects on mine. No pics because the forum websites are down. I like them a lot, makes it a little different than everyone elses. I know some say you should leave it alone, that's cool too.

I love my ground fx/no wing combo. You have no idea how much it sets the car apart from other C4's. :cool:

WOW Sonic, your car looks killer. :cool:
I would run ground effects, but I want to keep weight down. That's why I drink slimfast, car goes faster!

the guy across the street has a friend with a 94 admiral blue with a greenwood kit. Man I love that car! I was lusting after it until I bought the Ruby. No kit on that one since it's collectible. I think the greenwood look very cool on the 91 and later C4s.

I like my ground effects. Many of the kits I do not like, but the one on car looks good to me.
Although, right now I have the stock ones back on the car to change the look a little. Just something different.

By the way, has anyone run against a Factory Five Cobra yet? Better think twice about it, cause they are quicker than a Viper!
So how fast is it! :rolleyes:

Love my Greenwood. More pics at my website.

But it does ride low. I even had to modify the entrance to my driveway so that I wouldn't drag.

Any suggestions on how I can raise my rearend ? A simple and low cost way ? Just 1 inch would alot.

Hello all,
I am planning to soon paint my 85 soon and have been debating whether or not to add ground effects to my car. I have admired Cecil1's car for too long and have wondered how a kit would look in red. Then I saw the red "Corvette with an attitude". That car is flat out awesome. My mind is made up. Torch red with the kit.
Thanks to all for pics.
