Art,
I like the cleaner look of no BSM, but ultimately it's a matter of your own personal opinion. Good luck with your decision.

I like them as a trim item. I would not mess with the paint trying to take them off either...They add a little style to a blank area.

OK ... here's my .02 worth. I'm not a big BSM sort of guy. I mean they don't disgust me, but if I had my dithers, I would leave them off. But at the end of the day, it's your car ... do to it what YOU like best.

I will say this first. It is your car and you can mod it any way you like.
BUT
Since you asked opinions...
I would keep the BSM's and loose the White accent and the extra C5 emblems. There are already four C5 emblems on the right side, 4 on the left side, one on the front and back AND the word CORVETTE written on the front and back. Adding the extra emblems looks
Your car is starting to look like the one that keeps popping up every now and then with all the chrome accents and like 10 different c5 and Chevy emblems on the rear bumper.
Since you are asking about the BSM's. W/the painted coves, you should loose the BSM's. Way to busy looking.
I have them and like the looks, as do at least half the people that buy Vettes, since nearly half of all vettes are ordered with them.
In addition, they most definitely offer some serious protection from door dings, I would not think of removing them. I do have verifiable proof of my last statement, just so you would not think it is just my opinion.
I forgot to add that I think your car looks absolutly hot otherwise
You have done some very tasteful mods IMO
