Question: keep it, sell it.
Title: Keep it on, take it off......
Post by: cougarman on July 02, 2009, 11:08:05 AM
Ok, so I've been thinking of taking the ground effects off the Sport. But I'm undecided, I figure I will never find the front piece, and if I do, I probably won't be able to afford it anyway. So whatta ya think? Keep it, or sell it?. Thanks. :bowdown:

(Yes, I know I have rust, and I know it sits to high, not the question.)

Keep it on and fix the rust.
.......And if it's doesn't give you a nose bleed, it's fine for height

I vote take 'em off and then sell them. IMO they look disgusting on these cars.

I dunno if I'd use the word "disgusting". I don't particularly like 'em on T-Birds (but I do like 'em on Cougars, go figure), but they do have an 80's patina about them if that's what you're going for (and these are 80's cars, so that should be what you're going for :hick:)

I'd leave them on their as judging by the rust you may not have any rockers left.
See if you can find a nose piece,that would round it out much better.

I agree, leave them and find the front.

the good thing is.....
If you need to replace your rockers, it doesn't have to be as pretty as the factory parts. Your covering them anyway

I say keep them! I'd love to find a good set for mine. Years ago when they where available I couldn't afford them, now that they're so hard to find I really can't afford them. The ground fx for these cars are like the louvers on mine, alot of people want them but can't find them. Of course if you do take them off, I'm sure you wont have a hard time getting rid of them. There's at least three of us on here that would love to get our hands on them.

Take them off and sell them-put the money towards wheels and drop springs. You can probably sell them to one of the guys that want you to keep them.

If I was gonna take them off, that was my plan. Only I was gonna put the money towards an explorer intake, and heads. I already have a set of springs to go in :bowdown:. wheels won't be for awhile, unless I hit the lotto...lol.:D

The bumper itself is fine but he's missing the front ground effects.

Take them off, and save for body work, or find another cougar/bird to swap stuff onto. If I had a place to put my car, it would be in a miliion little peices.

LOL, how many swaps have happened to this point? I say keep them. They line up ok with the front as is. After it is dropped things will look a lot better. Ask me how I know... (sig)

I've said this before,I think the Birds ('87/'88) look better with no ad-ons.The car just has a great shape and design as is.BUT,it all depends on what YOU like.I have never been a fan of the body kits,and I think spoilers actually look better on the Cougars because they have a bigger trunk lid.The Birds have such a short trunk lid I think a spoiler clutters it all up.Again,it's all up to personal preference.
