Last year I bought a '90 GT from an original owner. It was in an accident a while back and almost all was repaired, but the ground effect piece below the door wasn't replaced and thus, has a bit of a wave to it. Here's a pic:



Before I go out and buy another piece, is the piece I have fixable? If so, how would I straighten it out?

Looks like they're there to stay. As though they got squished and heat set into place over the years. You could try removing them and working them with a heat gun, but I suspect this will do more damage than good. My guess is that you'll just have to replace them.

...clean looking car otherwise though.

Yeah - I lowered the wife's car and haven't lowered mine yet.

Actually, her entire suspension is 100% new. Mine hasn't been touched yet.

But I have a 5 lug conversion dammit

Wife's car will be "restored" to look 100% new (with the exception of it being lowered).

My car is sloooowly being modded. Nothing major though.

I do love that T-Top car. How does it hold up under water? Leaks?

I put all new seals on it a while back so the T-Top portion is good, but I need to adjust my windows because they do leak around where the window meets the T-Tops.
However adjusting T-Top windows is a major PITA so I haven't done it yet. I just have to be careful when I wash it...
