lowering tabs on the chassis:
cut out a piece of plastic (from an old credit card or something) the same shape and size as the old tab.
cut off the front nub of the tab, and glue the new tab you cut out (as mentioned above) to the bottom of what's left from the old tab.
repeat the same process for the back.

lowering the body:
fill the existing holes and cut new ones higher on the body as described here:

making skirts:
cut out a piece of plastic (from an old credit card or something) the relative length and width you'll need to run down the car.
super glue it to the car.
use an x-acto knife and sandpaper to trim it down and shape it to look like it's been molded to the car, as described here:

I use the body parts from modifiers for my ground fx. I cut them and peice them back together until they fit the body. I suck with putty, so it was the only way I could do it and make it look good.
