It's really just a matter of personal taste. I happen to like the looks of the BSMs, but many here like the smooth look.

Sorry no pictures, but it does give it a much cleaner and smoother look without, but I like the idea of someone opening their door on my BSMs vice my actual door.
I am sure someone will post some great pictures and like I said, I think it looks a lot cleaner without.

You can put the molding on at anytime. Why don't you drive it around for a while without. You can always put in on later. I personally like the look a little better without the molding. See http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...g&forum_id=103 for what other members think.

BSMs are something I strongly feel the car looks better without. I really dislike how they interrupt the flow on the side of the car.
Most important though is what you like

I am completely impartial to the BSM. Mine does not have them, but if the right car/deal would have come along with them, it would have not stopped me.

I bought my vert without BSM and planned to immediately add them. I thought it was something the previous owner had overlooked. As I looked at other Corvettes though, and especially the C6 which doesn't have them, I decided against BSM. It'll be easier to install them later, if I change my mind, than to take them off. Although, I have read DIY posts which indicate that it's not terribly difficult to remove them.

They look great without but mine just saved me from most likely replacing my entire door. Some asshat took a 1/4" deep gouge out of the BSM fortunately it didnt touch the rest of the car at all. The BSM did its job.
