Possible to add GFX on a non-GFX car? Plus susp. drop question....

Hi, I've got a 3rd gen here, and I was wondering, is it possible to add cround effects to a car that never had them originally? If so, do I need to do anything special or do they just bolt right up? At first didn'tlike the look of the GFX on 3rd gens but they've grown on me.

Also, I don't want my 3rd gen to sit obnoxiously low, but I would like a little bit of a drop. I'm basically hoping to have it so the fender sits right about level with wheel. I was hoping that maybe IROC springs would get me the look I'm going for?

I was looking for a fender-to-tire clearence of something like this:http://www.skulte.com/slideshow/Camaro_4_001.sized.jpg

Yes you can add the side skirts to the car, you will probably need to drill some starter holes and use self tapping screws.

Allright..... but what about the front and rear GFX? Also, anyone know about the springs? Could I just go with the stock IROC springs (what I'd like to do) or do I need something else?

Get the eibach pro-kit. It looks and handles GREAT on thirdgens. Like Dave said, you need the whole rear bumper and the front fascia with the gfx piece on the bottom.
