and whenever a poll is run the outcome is aways 50/50 for and against.

I like BSMs BTW

I like them! I think I am going to find a set to put on. I think it really depends on the color of the car! Some cars look good with them like I think blue looks sharp with them, but other colors not as sharp with BSM

I agree with you about the blue looking sharp but I do think that the "flat" or non metallic colors don't look as good!

With all the people taking them off I'm sure that you'll be able to find a set for cheap or free if you pay the shipping!

Good luck and don't forget to post pics once you're done!

Left them on my 02 QS Z06, am taking them off my "New to me" 99 Pewter FRC.

Just think it will look better with the Pewter.

My white coupe came with them, so they'll stay. If I ordered it new, I would have skipped 'em. (Can't get excited about the subject either way.)
