Default Mag Red no BSM's

I have been debating removing my BSM's from the car. Anyone out there have pic's of a Mag Red (Coupe or Vert) without BSM's on it.

I'll be doing some body mods over the winter. Side Skirts with the molded in brake ducts and a new Specter Werks rear.

So let me see any Mag Red Vettes with no BSM's...

I have mag-red and think the BSMs add to the look. All other things being equal, I think they create the illusion of a Vette that is lower and sleeker.

I like the looks of the BSMs too - it really comes down to a personal preference. If you really can't decide, go ahead and take them off and then if you miss them, you can always put them back on.
