Makes the car look like it is cheaper without them. Very plain and cheap. Besides they provide downforce.
wait....what?...
Obviously I am not a fan of C5's without BSMs on them why not get the stereo delete too? I like all the options available on my cars and they do serve a purpose I have touched them up enough to think what would have happened to the paint without them.

The functional part concerns the dings they have protected the door from
If had seen the cars I would tell you what they were. Maybe it was a ding monster just picking on my car I can tell you my son's Firebird is one of them

Previous owner took'em off his C6 and stuck'em there. "GM" Chicklets 
I know it's heresy, but hope the Padre tosses some Holy water on the car so I don't burn in hell for leaving them on.

I'd take 'em off and put them above the brake ducts in front of the back wheels.

I have used a good amount of touch up paint on mine so the damn things work. Count me among the BSM fans!!
If anyone has a no damage set that happens to be NBM let me know! I would replace mine to get rid of a lot of the dings.

So after reading about this yesterday I decided that today I would rip off my BSMs. After a few hours and some very sore thumbs I was done. I don't know how I feel about this; it does look cleaner but the door looks kind of naked to me, like it needs something there. I'm thinking this is just me not being used to the new look. Hopefully I will become a strong believer in not having BSMs soon.
