I like them a lot. If I had the money I would put them on, and the rear spoiler. Why are you thinking of removing, ground clearence issues???

I think your car looks great the way it is. If I were going to remove something it would be the Body Side Moldings.

Thanks! Ok, they stay on. I didn't know if I had over done it with my mods and had taken away from the wonderful stock style of the C5. Of course, my intent is to personalize and improve the style

I'm with you I think they are just a bit too much. With the BSM it looks just a bit too busy on the sides. Otherwise I think you've done a great job on great looking car.
