installing ground effects questions....
hey i just have a simple question about installing ground effects on my 94 Z28. Im ordering the 4 piece wings west kit. Just wondering how hard it will be to install myself?? Im guessing it cant be that difficult. I hear everyone talking about spending about $500-$1000 on getting their kits painted and installed?!?! i think thats a crazy amount of money!! I can paint, so im painting myself. What is included for installation?! i looked at the wings west install guide, and it seemed pretty straight forward. i just want to hear some advice from people who have installed the kit themselves. easy? hard? any tips?! thanks for your time.

whatever u do, do not only use double sided tape...i tryed that and it was horrible...
use double sided tape to hold them up while u drill screws into the gfx (should be holes in which u can do so on the gfx alrady pre made)....
good luck...its fairly simple

I used DS Tape and the screws.
Took a couple of hours. Iv'e put the car on stands just to make my work a bit easyer. One advice though. Swipe the are where youre working before doing anything with the tape. It's a real pain in the a$$ to remove dust and small rocks from it.
