Looks GREAT!!!

The more I see this the more I want to do it on my vert.

What technique did you use? Blow dryer and fishing line? I'm really concerned that I'll scratch the paint with the fishing line.

I used a blow dryer and fishing line. I didnt scratch the doors, but I did f**k up the BSMs themselves. But , I dont intend on needing them again.

Looks good on the ZO6 or FRC. For some reason the coupes just look naked without them. Just my $0.02

Just went to the store and parked right in between a MY Coupe with BSM's and a EB Coupe with BSM's and I have to say my cars body lines just looked so much cleaner, just not so chopped up as the other two cars. The other cars still looked great though!

Now that you lost all that weight, you should expect some quicker acceleration so go easy the first few times
