Default Rear Bumper Styling Bars
Hey All,

Have any of you fitted the rear bumper Styling Bars to your C5 ?

If so could you post up some pics as I am considering them as an option.

Cheers all

I'm pretty sure they're good for 25 hp - 30 if you apply the sticker.

If you are talking about the after market body moldings like the BSMs, Body Side Molding but after market and generic, then I have seen those on the back of a vette. It looked real nasty. I would definitely not do it.
