Default Removed BSM Again

I did this once on my last yellow Z, and is quite a PITA, but a great reward...

Looks good.

I don't mind the BSMs on a car, but many do end up taking them off.

Don't really mind the BSMs but prefer the look without them - cleaner to me.

To afraid to take mine off. I did that on 2 of my Trans am's and the clear coat started to peal off. I was using the fishing line technique. One started right away the other about a month later in the pattern of the bsm.


Looks good.

Inarguably one of the best aesthetic mods that can be done to a C5.




Good looking car

Were the BSM an option or did they just appear on certain year Z's?

They were an option on the early cars, I'm not sure with the later ones. Mine was ordered without.
