BSM before & after pics.

jdmvette · 2008-03-12 02:59:53

I recently removed my BSMs. (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1959174) Lately there have been threads and posts asking for more info and if removing them was a good idea. I thought I'd post pics of similar before and after shots. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/jdm2000z51/corvette/IMG_2017.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/jdm2000z51/corvette/IMG_2378.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/jdm2000z51/corvette/IMG_1942.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/jdm2000z51/corvette/IMG_2377.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/jdm2000z51/corvette/IMG_1931.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/jdm2000z51/corvette/IMG_2375.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/jdm2000z51/corvette/IMG_1970.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/jdm2000z51/corvette/IMG_2382.jpg

It's shocking how much better it looks with such a simple thing removed. Those stock door ding protectors really kill the smooth lines of the C5.

I don't agree, My BSM's create down force and help keep my vette planted on the road.

Hey, if we all liked the same thing my vette would not be unique.

If you say it enough, others may actually start to believe it.

Yup just like the hood seal adding an extra 10hp and the super high performance one that adds 15.5hp
