Default look what i did

well my buddy Shannon , made me do it Shannon was up sat. and we replaced his plugs and wires , and also new brakes , well not completley new my rotors that only had 21 k on them and i think the brake pads came off of FactoryRaceCar ,
and then removed the old BSM's here are some pics i have not had a chance to buff it all out yet , but Shannon needed pics









this is a before pic


i don't know whether to thank Nouman for comming down with the new vette or Shannon for taking his off , but when i saw both of them and how clean they looked i dreamt of mine not having any

I have been on the fence for a while as well. I have not done it yet as I really don't mind the looks of the BSM. I do like the clean lines of no BSM. Oh boy, what to do...
