Default Silver body side moldings?

Anyone have a set of silver body side moldings for a c6?
OEM part number: 17802206
They have been discontinued according to GM.
Thanks

I'd try Cultragfactoryparts.com first. If no joy there then start going down the big list of suppliers of that part that you get when you google the part number.

I had no idea they made these for C6's. I have only seen them for C5's. I'm not doing your search for you but they were easy enough to find. Probably need to be painted.

I didn't know they were available. I had them on my C5, I'm not sure that I would want them on my C6 though.

I have never even seen BSM's on a C6.

My old ride had them and it sure helps protect from door nicks.
Oh well, it's just a thought.

I actually met the guy who designed the BSM for the C5 (what a job). I liked them on the C5 and they fit the fender cove and door correctly as well as shaped nicely.

I don't think the C6 ones look right. From the pics, they seem to be a flat pieces that look too much like a JC Whitney piece imo...

They never made factory moldings for a C6 so it must be aftermarket.

Yes, they did (see OP's part number) and no, they aren't.

I had an '02 and '03 Z. Both had BSMs and they made the cars look great. Cheapist option. The C6, not so much. Maybe with the C7. It would look great with the tacky tacked on spoiler.
