Removed BSM last night!
Removed my BSM's from vert. Since adding my side skirts I felt there was a little to much going on on the side of car and also wanted to give it little more modern look. Before.
After.

Looks good! I would like to remove mine but i'm worried about what's underneath since i'm not the original order. I've heard horror stories!!!

I think it looks good either way, but one thing is for sure, you have one very nice looking pewter C5.
Just curious where you got the side skirts from?

Your Car looks very nice without the BSM... I've been on the fence for years over this look.
At this point, I think the no BSM look has the edge.

To me they look like an after thought, not something that came standard. I know a lot of people want to protect the sides of their car !!!! They just don't flow like the rest of the car !!!!!!!! my 2 cents with a penny back !!!!

I used 30# fishing line,goo gone,blow dryer,a lot of elbow grease, and wax. If you you are careful you will not damage bsm's and you can use them again. If unsure about paint remove small pieces first and check paint. Very important to take your time.

You have a beautiful car. It was not an easy decision for me to make. I sat on the fence for a long time. But I felt without the bsm,s it gave the car a more modern look and aggressive look.
