two types of front aero gfx's

is there two different types of (front lip) aero ground effects. the reason i say this is because my friend has a 91 and his (lip) aero ground effect in the center looks like it goes down flat. i have seen others, same aero ground effects that stick out from the middle why is that?

Re: two types of front aero gfx's

possibly remake or fixed improperly. there should only be one gm style, they weren't made long enough to be produced by other companies at the time to have variety.

Re: two types of front aero gfx's

they're both equal, one has just been worn down by wind and driving... I'll bet the ones that stick out more have lower miles...

might be..... but they do look different..... maybe when he had his car repainted they didn't pull it out??
----------
also another reason i think they are different is because i saw another 91 rs and that gfx looked the same (flat).. then i look at the 92'S camaros and they stick out from the middle way more

Re: two types of front aero gfx's

hahahah im telling you guys they are the same. The blue one looks bigger because of the colour, the fact that the license plate isnt there and that its sitting on grass. Cars look so much better when parked on grass

Re: two types of front aero gfx's

As was stated, the red cars front end has seen too many curbs and it has gotten misshaped. If you take his GFX off and lay them flat on the ground, his will touch the ground at center and the sides will be off the ground. It looks to be a good inch shorter than it should be because of the reshape.
