Default Interesting BSM idea...

Has anyone ever heard someone putting different color BSMs on a corvette (different from the car's color)? I think that putting black BSMs on a red Z06 (for example) might look pretty cool.

Dude.... it's risky. I'd go with like... a Nassau Blue with silver BSM's. Or how about black with Red BSM's? Or how about none at all? Either way... I don't want mine, but I'm screwed cuz it was already repainted with them on it. Dude keep 'em off.

Somebody tried that a while back, Torch Red with Black BSM I think... looked pretty schtoopid, but to each his own. Just keep your flame suit handy...

Might as well try some Oldsmobile door molding.
Door molding does not belong on nice sports cars, IMO.

Saw a post a couple of weeks ago...Some guy put black BSM's on a MY Coupe.

As we say in Spanish..."En gustos, no hay nada escrito." In taste, there are no rules.
