I was considering removing the ribs on my GA but I was curious if anyone had already done it and had some pics. Excuse my naivety, I am just paranoid I guess...if anyone can give me some reassurance that would be most helpful...

If my memory is correct it will look like a newer grand am, but keep in mind the front and back will still have ribs

the ribs give you 15 extra HP, don't take um off.

Figured as much buchajo, but I did not want to insult anyone...

I saw the "plugs" for the front fender holes, they will do fine, but I am still curious if anyone has pics of this other than the one of the grafxwerks website.

The ribs act as aerodynamic aids channeling the air around the car and lower the drag coefficient thus at high road speeds it takes less horsepower to obtain maximum speed.

? ? ?

I thought they created little vortices of time-space-gravity distortion, so you could get where yer goin' before you left where you were (will be).
