Default Different Doors?

I have a silver 97 and my doors are smooth. I was looking at pics today of some other Silver coupes and some had molding running down the middle of the door. I always thought that was on newer models but some 97's had it too. Is this a different door or is it a piece of stick on trim? I would love to buy it if possible. Thanks for your help.


OK I guess it is called BSM. Body Side Molding. Sorry for the dumb question. Thanks

The body side moldings were an option on the C5s. Some like the look, some don't.

I like BSM but some people don't care for the look and take them off.

They are Body Side Moldings and they were an option.

Mine did not have any when I bought it so I bought some from a forum member and painted them myself with auto primer and paint in the can.

Auto stores have the colors to match your Vette and you could buy these one's above from this forum member. you'll love the look when you put them on!

If you have any questions you can PM me and I'll shoot you whatever info you need!

Ask this member how much and get them!

Thanks,Matt
