Are you indicating this may not be a true statement?

OH BOY!!! The BSM DEBATE!!! 
It is your car and if you don't like them your free to remove them. It's not blasphemy if you do. I too think it's a much cleaner look without them.

By the way, the 97 Coupe I'm picking up on the 10th of March doesn't have the BSM's. So if any of you are pulling them off of a Sebring Silver Vette, please let me know if you want to sell them. I do a lot of paint work in my job, so if you're interested in selling yours even if they're not Silver, I may still be interested.
Just drop me a PM.
Thanks,
Richard

So it comes down to appearance - like 'em or hate 'em.
Personally, I was ambivilent about them before I got my car - and after I got it (and it didn't have 'em) I decided the car looks much sleeker without them.
But as the others have said - it's your car, do what makes you happy!
