I like the BSMs and cars look good without them too. About the only thing I can go either way with on a Vette!
Look Ma....

I actually like the looks of the BSMs, but even without them the car looks great. Love that TS rear bumper and the CCW wheels.

ok, I swore I wasn't going to get sucked into yet another "I hate BSMs" vs "I like BSMs" thread.... but I just have no more willpower left I guess after quitting both smoking and drinking.... I mean, I only have so much ;-)
I like 'em. I just wish we could have a sticky poll that would maybe stop the every other day thread about 'em.
No offense to the OP but man, it get's old...

Its a passionate subject Calvin.. I understand how many people feel and let me tell you as a new Torch Red Convertible Vet owner for only 3 weeks. I'm torn between having them or taking them off too. When I look at that first photo. It's phenominal, I don't have one critique on that look, its an awesome Sportcoupe Meflyfrc not much to add to that. Many posts prior have stated looks great with/without. The color, the wheels are fantastic, they really make the car jump out at you more so then any other feature on the race car. Congrats beautiful sports car.

Hey man! I never thought I would remove mine until I saw the flared fender thread and about a month ago while coming home from work a torch red FRC like mine roll out of an exit onto 95, crossed over in front of me, and then exited 95 to the left. It didn't have the BSMs. I guess the sun was hitting it just right, the car was shined up and all I could think was d@mn that's sexy. And then my no-bsm journey began, almost a spiritual moment. Kinda like the difference between a 21 year old honey with nice smooth skin and a 40 yo with cellulite.
Thank you
