Default Ok-I did It!

As per everyone's opinions, I left the Carravaggio side strakers and removed the body side moldings.

Now??

I think you just messed the whole thing up. You should probably just scrap the car and start over. I would be happy to dispose of it for you ...of course I am kidding. The vette looks great.

Wow that looks incredible. My only adivce now is take about 30 minutes and lower it a bit on stock bolts. You dont even need to remove the wheels to do it.

Wow, looks so smooth now ...
When shopping for my C5, I have turned down all the sellers with BSM since I thought BSM's were not removable and I don't want my C5 has that
