Question about C5's

[Brett]

Why do some C5's have....I don't even know what to call it.....a "rib" coming out of the side vents, along the body, and some don't?

I've tried to research this, and it doesn't indicate a model year, and also isn't specific to a coupe, vert, or FRC. So what gives? Is it an option?

Because that some have Body Side Moldings and some don't!! Just depends on how they were ordered!!

Option, or you can order them and add 'em yourself from Mid-America, Zip, etc...

Mine didn't have spears but I like them so I added them later. Bought them used.

Personally, I like the C5 with the BSM... but it's all just a matter of personal preference.

Don't know Darth, But personally I think Jane Ann's car Looks Absolutely Stunning with her Chromed Stock Wheels!! The dudes probly ticked because she Dusted him on the Dragon or something!!

Is there some reason that this thread turned ugly?

Because this is one of the discussion topics guaranteed to polarize opinion at a Corvette enthusiast site. Here's a brief list of what I've observed here at CAC over the years:
Automatic vs. Manual Transmission
Meguiars vs. Zaino
Coupe vs. Convertible
Borla vs. Corsa
Body Side Moldings: Yes or No?
Which Synthetic Oil to Use
Millenium Yellow vs. Quicksilver
Rob's 1990 ZR-1: Does It Really Exist?

In other words... subject's its best not to re-visit.

Please be respectful of other peoples' Corvettes.

An excellent suggestion! We now return you to your regularly scheduled discussion.
