I happen to like the BSM's, but they really depend on your own personal taste. It is really something that you need to come to a decision on.

Thanks all for the comments. I think the "against" and "for" folks have tied on this issue.

This post is gonna go on forever...i just took mine off today because the guy who put em on before me got em painted a different color white...it looked bad....i dont mind em one way or the other IF they are the exact same color as the rest of the car....should be easy on black...but white....thats a different story...either way you should look at other people's cars and see if you like it because your opinion is the one that matters...GL with your decision!

As you can see, this is one topic guaranteed to produce opinions at both extremes.
I like them and they've saved a few door dings already. My only advice would be they have to be the same color as the car.

Oh boy, another chance for me to show off my car after I removed the BSM!
