Ground Effects for GT

red91gtconv · 04-01-2003, 02:51 PM

I have the passengers side Ground effect that I need to replace the top metal strip

My question is what is the easiest way to attach it?
the one that came on the car seems to be spot welded

thanks in advance

Try drilling holes near where the spot welds are on the molding. Try a 8mm bit . With the holes you want to line it up and Mig weld it to the body filling the hole with weld. Avola

Don't have a Mig welder any other ideas?

Ok then pop rivets.
Good Luck

pop rivets might work... but itd be worth going to a body shop and having them do it right rather then have it start to come off later... then again depends on how nice your car is to begin with
