Doesn't look so hot, IMHO. Kind of like wearing brown shoes with a black suit.

Like most people said, it's a personal preference thing. I happen to love mine, but as for as a different color, it's all up to you.

Good luck.

I think the BSMs look good on the C5, but not sure I would like black ones on there. Maybe someone could photoshop a set on there and give you a good idea of how it would look.

BSM makes me laugh. I hope that doesn't make me a "BSM ****." Diversity is what makes life interesting. BSM, spinners, dash rugs, and "alternative lifestyles" are all part of the world we live in and just because they're not a part of my world does not mean I would make fun of anyone who enjoys these things.

I personally like the BSM but would not like it a different color.

You equate a Chevrolet factory option with homosexuality. Yeah, I think you qualify as a BSM ****. I don't even want to know what my monochromatic mirrors indicate (in your world, at least).

Yes, you did. You included BSM's and "alternative lifestyles" in the same category of "part of the world we live in".

Remember?

Taste is completely subjective.

I'll have to go with the "don't do it" group.
I don't feel one way or the other on the BSMs. If I had them, I wouldn't bother to remove them. But I don't think it would improve the looks of your car.

I also preferred your car with your original wheels.--not a fan of the black rims.

Again--Taste is completely subjective.
There, I covered my bases.

I'm a "no" BSM type of guy.......if you want to accent the car in black, try blacking out the lights, window tint and painted rear lower facia......hey even the hood stripes look better than painted BSM's. Of course this is just IMHO.

NO!

That would look just as dumb as someone putting two BSM's on! one on top of eachother!

Yes! I've seen this done and it was done with one red and one black on a black Vette!

Thanks,Matt
