Oh don't be so hard on yourself. Now that you know how to start a poll go ahead and get a few more going on oh maybe
1. What's your favorite color?
2. Do you eat/smoke in your vette?
3. What's your favorite floor mat?
4. Do you take your pet in the car?
5. Do you leave your top up or down in the garage?
6. Where do you park in the parking lot?
7. How do you dress when you drive the vette?
8. Which do you like....manual or auto?
None of these have ever been discussed here before and I guarantee they would be absolutely scintillating topics/polls if you did them. I would do it but you need to up your post count a little and get some more practice on those polls.
You can thank me later for the ideas.

Now to answer your question and possibly start World War 3
I hate them with a passion...you couldn't pay me to have them, they ruin the flow of the body style, they should be outlawed, they make the Vette look like a ricer, I will remove them for Vette owners free of charge, I turned down an additional $5000 discount if I bought a new Vette(in 2004) instead of ordering mine...even though they give an added 30 HP and stabilize the vehicle at warp speeds>>> I still hate them. You have to be ghey to like BSMs...Just to look at a Corvette with BSMs makes me
...Why in God's name would any human being want to have those fugly BSMs on their Corvette?I once firebombed a Corvette because it had BSMs...
Did you catch on yet?
...I don't really care if someone has BSMs or not...all of the above just sounded funny...serious...each to their own

Gotta can o' 3M Adhesive Remover.
Applied, wiped off excess, rinse and repeat.
Now an then try an work a teflon spatula tween the car and the body side molding.
It really does come off ..really.
Takes awhile.
Glue is like bubble gum, you have to sever the ties with the car.
What worked best is pulling the molding away from the car, and workin the spatula down the joint, slowly.
With some pressure.
When it got difficult, applied more adhesive remover.
Now .. I gotta clean stripes of bubblegum-like adhesive off the side of the car.
And buff out a few minor scratches where I tried just to pry the molding off usin the spatula.
(there was some dust in the adhesive, when I pushed the spatula in, it scuffed up the paint a lil)
All in all .. another opportunity to excel.
Tomorrow ..I will spend my spare time cleanin off the bubblegum on passenger side.
Day after, I take off the driver side BSM.
