It really depends on the car's color. The darker colors look good with the body side molding. But colors like yellow, silver, and white look clean without them. Just my $.02 :D

Color matters and body style matters. I like 'em on the silver frc, but not coupes :confused:

Adds to the lines of the car and the wheels IMO.

Have ordered two C5s, no BSM. Hate it, but Adam mentioned during my Z06 delivery that you could buy it and take it off right away in case the person you sell the car to wants it. Personally I'd like to see it a dealer installed option so that it is just put in the car with the tape on the back. Would be cleaner that way.

I want them on Silver! :D I think it brings the body style together with them. It pisses me off I have to drive my 811 hp Z06 on the PS2 without them. :lol:
To each his own. :cheers:

Hey Aqua, they are installed at the factory with two sided tape. I figured this out when I removed mine recently. They were very easy to take off I might add. :D

as a FORMER person that said I HATE the BSM and I owned 1 99 hardtop and 1 01 Z06 WITHOUT them, ..... NOW I have the 01 Z06 WITH them and I LOVE THEM

I used the think they messed the lines of the car up, but now I think it makes the car look racier

I would get them again if ordering a new one

thanks

While on the tour of the factory I saw bins of BSM. If you just took them as they were then and put them IN the car with the tape still covered I'd be happy.
