Re: ground fx

if you can find some double-sided adhesive foam weatherstripping i'm pretty sure that would help you out. I worked with that stuff recently and man it really sticks.

Just go up to home depot or lowes and look at their adhesives.

Just take some screws and screw them in, that is what we did on a friend of mines SS side skirts and rear clip so they would stay on. It does help if your car is black because you can get black screws. If not you can fill the holes with fiberglass and have a paint shop touch it up, but you will never get the ground effects off.

Re: ground fx

If you go to napa or most other parts stores get molding tape. It is like rubber double sided tape. This is what holds all your moldings on. You can also use screws on the inside where you don't see them.
