To make your used cars
handle and look better you need the right car ground effects. Use aero-dynamic
wings, spoilers, dams or skirts to get the down force plus the stylish look you
have been looking for. These car ground effects features are not just pretty
add-on's, they are designed to really work on your car, truck, jeep or suv !
Generally, they are wind-tunnel tested to generate huge rear down force to
dramatically improve traction and keep your vehicle stable at high speeds
without draining power from the engine.

In general you will save a bundle if you buy car ground effects from
distributors carrying non OEM aftermarket brands (not the accessory offered by
the dealer). The quality is comparable and the cost is much lower. If you
install yourself you will save even more. But, should you be installing car
ground effects yourself ? The answer depends on your skills and on the type of
part and material selected.

Car ground effects products made in urethane and with simple designs are
generally easier to install because they are lightweight and flexible. They
usually come with double back 3M high strength tape which bonds the parts to
your car tightly. Some manufacturers (like Wings West) offer great videos and
detailed instructions on the installation of ground effects for cars. Products
made out of fiberglass or with more elaborate designs, such as design style side
skirts, require a lot of skills and experience. To explain it is important to
understand the full process.

Installation is not the only step required in order to have a finished
product. Before final installation there is a "dry fitting" procedure involved
which requires experience in order to accomplish it properly, then there is the
prepping procedure, installation and of course painting. Dry fitting refers to
the procedure where the installer makes all the necessary adjustment to the
product in order to make it fit perfectly. It involves trimming, grinding and
filling gaps in order to have the pieces fit the contour of the car. This is a
procedure that is best left to a professional body man who has done this type of
work before, since he can do it a lot faster and cheaper then someone who has no
experience.

If you are considering the purchase of car ground effects made out of
fiberglass or with elaborate designs find the right shop to do the installation
for you, before you make the purchase, to avoid unpleasant surprises. Look for a
body man that has at least 1 year experience in installing all types of ground
effects in different materials. He would be able to do the job in less time for
less money, then a body man with 30 years of experience but who has never
installed a car ground effect before.
