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??

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