Default Corvette side spears

Does anyone know where you can get cheaper billet side spears? I saw a website that has them, and the insert screen for $350, and thats a bit steep. Here is the website if you don't know what they are:

Cal Kid - normally cheap and Corvette do not go together, so I doubt you will find a cheap Billet set, maybe some plastic ones...


Jon - I removd the BSM and love the look of the car, Looks cleaner on the sides, never thought about adding the Billet pieces. If you do, can you post a photo?

The ones I have seen are all about the same price. Not very cheap for sure.

I actually like the BSM's. I wish I had them on mine. Do they just stick on?

Hey,
a man with good taste! Yup, the BSM's are held on with 3M double stick tape. You can probably find someone who removed them and will sell you a set for a reasonable price.

Well if there are so many people who don't like them, I'm sure someone wouldn't mind just GIVING the old ones to me.

Billet side spears look great, but don't make the mistake of running them in conjunction with BSM. I don't know how anyone who truly loves the C5 design can stomach that combination. Personally I think BSM looks retarded, but I know that many people seem to like them or feel that due to parking circumstances they have to have them. Hey, different strokes for different folks; it's all good!
