Hope this works. Here are a couple of pictures of my C5. It's a '97 with 43,000 miles on it. Let me know what you guys think of it.

that silver vette looks great, but would look even cleaner w/o the BSM's(body side mouldings)!

Very nice...if you want to hear honest opinions then here's mine:

1. Remove the BSM (body side moldings) as soon as possible.
2. Lower it as far as possible (at least as far as stock bolts will allow.)
3. Get yourself (at least) a catback exhaust upgrade so you can actually hear the ponies gallop.
4. In combination with #3 and if it's still stock, upgrade the air intake to a less restrictive system so she can breathe.

#1 & #2 are of course personal taste but #3 & #4 are must do's.

Just my opinions, you did say " Let me know what you guys think of it".

Best of luck with her...welcome to the brotherhood and I wish you miles of smiles!

#1 might not be a good idea on a 10 year old car.

But having an off-color strip down the side of your car is cool!!

Very true, my Sebring Silver 97 with 38K miles has slight yellowing of the clear coat. You can't see it until you hold a newly painted part up to the older paint. Then you can notice a tint of yellowing. So if he removes the BSM now, chances are pretty high that the paint under the BSM won't match for a couple of years.

Congrats on your awesome new ride

You have a very nice looking 97 there. With the exhaust tips/wheels it would be hard to distinguish from an '04.

Good point...I didn't take the age of the car into consideration...it's so clean I was thinking it was newer.

Great looking car - Stephen! You sure can't tell that were looking at a 10 year old car! May you have miles and miles of smiles with it!

I have a '98 with 56,000 miles - and I love it! I wouldn't trade it for a new one!
