Yeah its a pretty even mix of those that do and do not like them. I preferred to not have them but, I have nothing against them. I decided to take mine off because I preferred the look and noticed if someone gets out of many other types of cars especially trucks will hit above the moulding anyways so... Only reason I am keeping mine are in case I sell the car and whoever wants it wants to have them too

I guess the guys that love them will never buy a C6.

I'm on your side, the side moldings were a must for me when I was searching for a C5. Most people end up giving them away for free so you may want to just wait for someone with mag red to take theirs off. Paint is not cheap unless you do it yourself.

I was impartial to them just by looking at pictures. Just got the car painted and decided to eliminate them. Wow what a difference, the car looks so much cleaner/smoother without the BSMs, at least on my pewter car

Never seen anything like that before. 3????

GM doesn't offer the BSM for the C6 from the factory but they are available for the car from the aftermarket.

I have a set in quick silver I removed from my 03 Z. if anyone wants/needs them and wants to pay shipping let me know. I'd be glad to help someone out.

And obviously I removed mine as I prefer the smoother, cleaner look of no BSM's

There are various good things about the C5 that GM didn't include on the C6.
Two that quickly come to mind are the hidden lamps and the BSM, but the list could go on.
That is why I'm keeping my C5.

I do like my C6 also, but a C5 without the moldings? Well, to each there own.

I hate the hidden head lights too, I never use them...and I have custom ACA HID's. I use my HID. fogs.

The BSM's were an after thought,
makes the side so cluttered. I haven't seen a Porsche, Lambo, Fcar etc. with them, why?

Removing them was the second mod I did two weeks after I got her!

Yada, yada, yada...some like em, some some don't,
but some like mud flaps too!
