It's an option C5FLORIDA. Not all Vettes were ordered with Body Side Mouldings.

its about time. i think its been about a week or so since a body side molding post. hehe. actually newbie, the search dealio will work....kinda sorta sometimes.....ok well it kinda sucks too. anyway, guess a search isnt gonna do anything for ya if u type in "fins" haha. if u dont have the "fins" and want some monitor the for sale section for parts and many members sell them because as u will learn, they are a like or hate thing and as many people hate em as like em so they remove and sell em.

Default How

Someone just mentioned removing the "fins". I have them on my '98, though I've always preferred corvettes without them. If you remove them is there body work involved (filling holes) or what? Just curious!

No body work. A heat gun helps.
