Haven't read any posts about the necessity to repaint.
Good luck!

I removed the BSMs and most of the emblems from my truck. Its an 03 with almost 200k miles and the paint still looked fine. Can't tell where they were. I do polish and machine wax it every year so the paint is well maintained. But isn't that the case with any Vette? By the way the truck is a different deal. The black rubber ones on it were real ugly. Should have done it when it was new.

I like the looks of them on the car, but none of mine have come with the BSMs on it. It really does just come down to what you like - what we feel is really not important on this issue.
