Default Requesting pics and comments on ground effects for C-3's

While my Black '82 is in the shop to repair deer damage, I was also thinking about adding a ground effects package. I like the looks of the ACI Collector Series Body Styling Kit. Anybody have this or another package installed? I would like to see some pics and/or hear some comments. Both, good or bad.

'Effects' on a Vette allways look bad, just extra weight, on a 1800 lbs piece of crap tin box they look plainly funny, a sacrifice to 'style'.....
a vette is a damn slick car as a stock machine, maybe a bit of flares for big tires, but the basic lines are best left alone....

Just cut your front spring you'll have all the ground effects you need, I'm only 2 inches off the pavement at the front :D

IMHO, Don't do it - but it's YOUR car.

Just my $.02 - YMMV.

I really think a ground FX kit would look pretty bad on a C3. The side pipes look really good on any C3 (in my opinion). I saw a '79 this past weekend at a swap meet near here and it really made me want to get them for my car. Just don't plan on driving anywhere there is speed bumps :)
