If you're unhappy with the ground effects, I wonder what you would be left with if you removed them? I don't know how they're attached, but some two sided tape and a few hidden set screws might not leave you with a big headache to try and fix. The wing, on the other hand...you'd better learn to love!

Now imagine my car with your stock rims. Totally ugly....
It is usually the older aged Corvette owners that do not like ground effects. Lmaoooo, :-)

Personally, I don't care for them, but that's just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.
It's up to you......................

Thank you very much. If you get new tires and rims, polish her up with some swirl remover, then polish and then a sealant or wax your car will look nicer. Or, just remove the body kit, sell it and then get tires and rims and polish. We are all vette owners/lovers, so to each is own. I am just happy I have a vette that I personalized for my liking, that is the important and fun thing to keep in mind.

I have three hobbies.... Golf, Cars & Carp fishing. I guess I will see the golf course and the lake in about 6 weeks.

This old man bought my 90 coupe with the full greewood kit on the car. I am not good with the pictures so I will not post them. My car looks great in many peoples opinion so be it. I like the looks of the kit and I dont give a ---- what anybody else thinks. But at my advanced age of almost 73 I only care what I think of my car. I love my Quasar blue beauty. All Vettes are great. Allentown Ernie.

On some vettes they look good and others not so much. Polo has the right idea, it's all in how a car is dressed.
Dressed for success comes to mind for some reason, oh well.

Some kits are fine and others aren't. to me it depends on factors I mentioned in my previous post as well as color sometimes.
Change the wheels if you can afford it, or when you can, and you'll be fine.

Just my opinion
This car here is one of my favorites because of how well the ground effects look on this car. Everything black makes the ground effects blend in and look they belong on there. Black is the only color I like ground effects on. This car here looks more modern to me than the traditional C4 look. UpTown your ride is bad to the bone.
