BSM, chrome side spears, or nothing???
I know there's a bunch of threads on here about opinions on body side moldings but I think it really all depends on the mods and color of the vette that really determine whether they look good or not.
So I was hoping to get your opinion on my silver vert as to whether I should keep my BSM's, just get rid of them, or replace them with chrome side spears.
I know it's my money and I should get what I like and who cares what other people think blah blah blah, I'm just looking for some opinions please.....keep in mind my color and mods.
It would really be great if someone could photoshop some side spears on for me...or just get rid of the BSM's.
These are the side spears I'm talking about.

Looking at Mr. Bills comparison, IMO, it looks like it flows better without them on! I personally don't like them on any Corvette. They just seem out of place. So my vote would be to just take them off completely and not put anything in its place.

Spears look good on some cars and horrible on others.
Simple is what I prefer. I like spears, but only if there isn't much other clutter piled on the car.
I'd only have BSMs if I daily drove the car and parked next to others, otherwise.... delete!

I'd say leave them on. They look good to me, but hey, you are the one that has to live with it. It really is your decision regardless what anyone else here says.

It definitley depends on color whether spears will look good or look great. The darker colors use the spear bling and it really shows up, your car looks good with the BSMs on or without.
