ground effects on 89 RS

Just bought an 89 RS (305 tbi and 5 spd). It has the ground effects with the little scoops in them just in front of all 4 tires. I didn't know these were on 89's. According to the tag on the driver's door the car was made in Mar. 1989 (late production for that year??) I guess they could have been replaced but the clear coat on the hood and hatch is flaking up/peeling so it looks like it might be factory paint. Did some of the later 89's have that type of ground effects?

No, only 91-92 Camaros came factory with those ground effects, 89-90 RS Camaros got the Iroc style ground effects.

That car must have had a really good life. The GM paintjobs in 88-90 sucked. They actually had a 5-year recall on them I believe...
