Surprisingly it was a 50/50 split last time this poll ran

It'll be interesting to see how it goes this time with a lot of new members on the Forum

The day after I got mine, I spent 5 hours removing them. Was worth every drop of sweat and the blistered thumb. (from rolling the old glue off)

It does not matter to me if I have them. My car came with it on so I have them.

I have them but have to admit the car does look better without them. I was going to remove them but I'd probably screw something up and the paint underneath might be a different shade due to it hiding for a few years...

I prefer not to have the BSM, but my car has them.

My thought is this: Leave them on until I have to take them off, they will save the doors till then.
