Why don't you kiss my ***? This is a forum for opinions. Familiar with the concept? You don't have to like mine, and I don't have to like yours,

So only your opinion matters? OK. I was just trying to help the guy. I have seen too many people lower their cars and lose drivabilty and have alignment issues. If you don't like the way his car looks it's best to keep it to yourself.
Sounds like you may have some anger issues.

Only my opinion matters? That's rich coming from you. YOU were the one who told the OP to ignore my post. So obviously only your opinion matters.

I understand that reading comprehension is not your strong suit. But that's ok......

When someone gives bad advice for no reason, I advise people to ignore it. The owners opinion is the only one that matters.

OK, let me make it official. I do not really have an opinion on BSMs. I do not care if a car has them or not. They are a non issue with me. If you do not like BSMs on my car, that is fine but keep it to yourself. If you like them, that is also fine, but it is really a trivial issue to get upset over.
Enjoy your Corvettes and help each other out when someone needs help.

I have 4 inches of ground clearance at the rockers and 3 1/2 inches at the cats, which help protect the rockers, but the cats are scraped up a bit.
My 1991 is basically stock except for the supercharger and dual intercoolers.
The 2000 convertible is just a nice, pleasant cruiser to take out on nice days with the top down. It is not as fast as the other two but I do not care.






You sir, are a living inspiration! I have hopes that I can have a similar garage someday with the exception of:
1) C4 Grand Sport
2) Ron Fellows C6 Z06

I already have my C5 so I am 1/3rd of the way there. Anyways, your Vette's look great!

Jesus you wouldn't think grown men would be so sensitive.

Why are you posting on a forum if you're going to be upset when people have opinions? Your cars all look great, why does it bother you that people comment with non-insulting suggestions? No one said "your car looks like crap with the BSM's"

Can I make a motion to have all members who cry at suggestions post in their profile that they only want praise on their threads? You must be the same people who think there shouldn't be winners and losers in children's sports too.

When you guys go to car shows do you tell strangers what you don't like about their cars and what changes they should make or do you just do it when you are home on the computer? People post pictures of their cars, not to be told their wagon wheels suck and the have to buy new wheels or that they should remove their BSMs because you don't like them, they post pictures because they want you to see their new rides. Just try to be considerate.
Why do people lose all common courtesy when they are on the internet?

Honestly, it's only corvette owners who care. "Your car would look awesome with_______" isn't an insult. People say it to me in person all the time, I simply respect their opinion whether I agree or not.

This is a general forum, not tech. It's sole purpose is for opinions.
