Default Ground effects for C3s

I'm looking into SERIOUS ground effects, I mean, I want to scalp chipmonks when I straddle the little goomers. Eklers, Mid America, and Zip just don't seem to have what I'm lookin' for. Kinda like NASCAR for Vettes!!! I'll concider all extremes. (anything short of replacing the whole body)
Any pointers guys?

More info would be appreciated, I want to explore as much as possible before I make any decisions.
I saw a C3 with a Daytona wide body. Now that suka was "Bad"!!! I want to combine looks with performance (key word, perfomance) Since I'll never sell the "Starship", I'm going to build 'er to the extreme. I'm also looking into a full cage. (chrome moly) I plan on doing much of the work to the car myself, so that's why I'm looking for so much info, instead of just takin' 'er to a shop.
Thanks guys for any and all info.

Not a bad idea, except they are half way across the U. S. from where I am.
The "BOSS" wouldn't go for me taking off right now anyway.[:@]

Well, I don't want to go with just one ground effects design. I'd like to get as many options as possible. Nose work, fender flaring, side and rear effects and rear spoilers.
Also air flow around and through fender wells, such as venting. Basicly, ground effects equip used for pro sport car racing. Every thing but the numbers on the doors.

I'm in the research mode and want all the info I can get my hands on.
Already settled on the L-88 hood.

The Greenwood race cars are a good place to start... and all of those body parts are available through ACI, Vanacor, or directly from Greenwood:
