Default BSM Photos Please

I have a 00 Metallic Blue Coupe and am thinking of addiding BSMs. Can you guys post photos of the cars with BSMs so I can make a decision. Thanks!!

Here is a shot of my 03 Z06 which has the BSM's. My color is Electron Blue so im not sure exactly which blue you are referring to. I also owned a 99 hardtop which did not have the BSM's and I like it with or without them.

BSMs can be a really touchy issue - you'll find most here seem to dislike them (at least the ones that post up about them). But I think they look good on the car. Comes down to a personal preference. If you like them, do the install. You can always change your mind later and take them back off.

I've got a 99 Pewter w/ BSM's. Main thing here, they help guard against careless door slammers! And as far as I'm concerned, I don't think they look that bad either. If they weren't on at purchase, I probably would have put them on.

Yeah, there will be some guys voting against them... whatever their reasons are. Its a personal choice, like everything else in life. Personally, I love 'em. They look great, give a sleeker look "in my opinion". You can probably find someone selling them here in the parts section. Good luck

Well, somebody slapped those on there after the fact, because they're not even in the right place!

People are always bashing me for giving my opinion when it's not asked for. Well, now it's my turn to bash. The man didn't ask if we liked BSM's or not. All he wanted was some pics of cars that had them.

Sorry, I should have known that "...can you guys post photos..." meant what's your opinion of BSM's.
