KBlanke,
How did you get your BSM off? I know there is a posting on how to do this,but it says to use dental floss to "saw" back and forth to get them off. I am worried about the potential for scratching the paint. HOW DO I PERFORM THIS DELICATE SURGERY? :confused:

With!

Mine is lowered, and the BSM's tend to make the car look even longer and lower. I like 'em on my car.

Out of 5 C5's, this is the FIRST to not have them................and I like it for the following reasons:

1. When drying off with a leaf blower, water always used to be trapped behind them......

2. When Zainoing, used to have to run my cloth over the top and bottom of the BSM, to get the Zaino off

3. Without them, drying takes less time

4. The car looks much more cleaner, than with them

Every poll ever taken on this, over the last 3 years, has come out 50-50. In fact, I think I saw that the production totals for 2000 also came out 50-50, or darn close to it. So.......coin flip time!

Depends on the color. I like them on mine.

I would get them. If you hate them, they come off easy.
