LX to GT Converstion -- $$$$$$

[ksteak1]

I have bought a complete set of GT ground effects (front/rear bumper, extensions, and side skirts) for my 87 LX. To mount them, I'm told that I need these metal mounting brackets that the side skirts and extensions snap onto.

I checked with CJ Pony Parts and they quoted me friggin $263.50 for the stinkin mounting brackets (not counting tax or shipping). GOSH!!

Is there any way to do this cheaper? Because if not, I might bail on the whole idea.

Any ideas??

When your doing this. Take good measurements on where they mount on the body,

Be sure to punch out the centers of the rivets before you drill. Make sure you bring a punch and a ball-pean hammer.
