Somebody had a template made for this occasion but don't think it would really matter if they were off a little bit since you can't see both sides at the same time.

Okay! Here is my crappy drawing

But a few have used it as well a myself and it's accurate as far as the measurements go, just not the drawing

Thanks,Matt

Matt, I have told you before that I love your car!

I think your technical drawings of the BSM's are great!

Now, I would love to see your drawings of installing a Procharger!

YOU are too cool! Hope to run into you again at LAPD!

What adhesive material did you use to actually attach the BSMs to the car?

GM used doubled sided tape on the body side moldings from the factory. You can find 3M double sided tape (gray w/ red backing) at an automotive paint supply store in your area.
