It looks like it was worth the blisters.
I really like the clean look without them. Didn't like the blisters either.

Did you notice any color differences? I have thought about it, but get worried that the color will look faded or darker than the exterior. Looks like everything did come out great!

I would like to see a study on landfill expansion since the birth of the C5. All of the stock mufflers, BSMs and wagon wheels.
Looks good.
It's funny that you have to pay extra for those, isn't it? If GM was smart they should have made not having them the option.
Damn. I'm on a roll.

NOOOOOO Chris!
dont go to the darkside! Those BSM's channel the air on the side of your car and lessen the drag coefficient!

This is a 2000 FRC, There was no color difference but, the car has been sheltered all it's life (even though it has almost 112,000 miles on it). I am still going to take it to a paint shop and have then hit each side with a wheel (no swirls) and some compound, just to get everything Goof Off and wax didn't get.

Hang onto 'em if your car is Pewter. I may want to take them off your hands once I finally find a C5 if it doesn't have any. I know I'm in the minority, but I like the BSM's particularly on silver bodied C5's!!!
