Attaching Ground Effects
Hi All,
Spring is around the corner and the car is coming out soon.
The ground-effects piece on the driver's side rear of the car isn't sitting flush on the body where it belongs. I'm assuming that it's because one of the clips on the back is busted.
Does anyone know how these clips work or how I would take the piece off to inspect it?
Also, if the clip is broker, do I have any alternatives besides a junk-yard to get my hands on replacements?

Doesn't appear that I'm getting a lot of bites with this question...
Here's a photo to help you see where the problem area is (Thanks Dan for letting me use this photo ).

For the rear piece that you are talking about behind the rear wheel there should be a screw that connects it to the rear bumper two screws on the bottom then on the inside your car behind the plastic there should be two studs that stick through with speed nuts on them that is how it mounts up it shouldnt use any clips that is how all the ones i have played with have been. with out seeing what it looks like i cant tell you what is wrong best thing would to just take it off and see whats wrong and go from there. I hope this helped if not im sorry but good luck
