Oddly enough I like them BOTH ways. Just like C5's so much it doesn't matter to me, each can look great depending on the rest of the car. I do prefer the non-bsm look, but don't hate the bsm's either.

Somedays I think I'd like them on mine, but most days I'm glad I don't have them. Just have this thing about stuff artificially stuck to my car, scoops, stickers, etc. I'm temped to delete my c5 badging I have it so bad.

Trying to build up the nerve to remove mine... Have been partial to them for a while, but the clear coat on one has been chipped and flaked off some and now it looks like chit.... Cheaper to remove than to repaint.... (I hope) I am just nervous about fade...
