      Welcome! This is a great place for information on just about everything there is to know about the 4th gen F-Body.

      Your pics are coming up as errors for me, but your best bet is probably ebay for those front ground effects. They're pretty hard to come by, but pop up on ebay every once in a while. Or try you local junk/salvage yard.

        Yeah I can't view them either, I would try ebay also, or you might have to buy the complete set again.

          Those ground effects are terrible for not staying in place. They are a hard to find piece. You'd be lucky if you find one at the junkyard, but I'll keep an eye out for you if I find one.

            When I have seen one on the rare occasion on eBay they run about $250 - $300.

              The ground effects hardware, is in my view, deliberately made so that is you do something dumb - like hit a curb or go a little too aggressively on unpaved roads (thinking you are Burt Reynolds in Smokey & the Bandit) - the ground effects hardware will break loose - but keep you from incurring worse damage. It is a simple matte of checking on the GFX every so often to be sure things are not loose.

              At least, that is the experience of this redneck who has taken his Firebird on numerous unpaved adventures and slammed into one too many high curbs.

              Yes, it does mean you have to keep checking to see what minor parts are loose.

              As far as finding a replacement part - Robert is right, as usual - they tend to be expensive. Keep checking ebay and one should turn up.
              I solemnly swear I am up to no good.
