front ground effects
ok, so here's my problem: my 02 z24 has a plain front bumper, no ground effects/valence/bumper extension, whatever you wanna call it. gm wants $200 for an unpainted valence. rksport has one for $175. i was thinking about buying a subtle aftermarket front bumper just to get rid of the line between the valence and the bumper. how would it look with the stock side skirts? i don't want much of a difference in ground clearance between the front and side
and if anyone knows where i can get a stock valence for cheaper than $175, preferably silver, please let me know, thanks

Re: front ground effects
Is this some sort of cavalier secret society? Like Skull and Bones? Only exclusive people get exclusive help?
That scares me....

No shit, thats what I was thinking at first but now that I thought about it for a bit I wouldnt boubt it at all.
I remember that when I first was looking around for a cavi club to get info and such a ran across a few that had a butt load of rules and regulations. It was kinds of nutty crap to. Stuff like "your car must remain clean inside and out at all times", "you must attend at least 5 meetings a month" and "you must keep the club sticker/logo easily displayed at all times"
The other scary things where that they had dues to pay every month like a damn health club. And also they had a huge chart of disaplinary actions for each type of club infraction and crap like that.
I dont mind being part of a car club and all but not if its going to be ruled with an iron fist. Im in this for the fun not to be all cool rollin with my posses in our sweet whips yo. And all that other poser BS.

Re: front ground effects
yeah I've heard of car clubs. The local car club here in town isn't quite the same but they only tend to old body cars, you know. 50's hot rods and all that good stuff. just basically show up at the meetings. But wow. I wonder what they'd do to you if they caught you with a dirty car after a sudden downpour.
"go masturbate in front of that picture of a honda civic"
I don't roll that way man....

Wow what a waste a money....not to mention some of those cars don't even look modded other than tint and rims. Plus isn't it in their rules that the cars have to be painted? That ZX2 sure wasn't painted in the pictures!
