It’s your car, so make it look how you want it to look. I personally like the look of the body side moldings, but many don’t and they remove them. A hair dryer and some fishing line will get them off.

Yup....seems to come up at least a couple of times a year. 
If you like them keep them, if you don't take them off.
It's your ride, do with it as you please. No need to constantly ask....What do you guys think ?

If I had ordered a C5 new, I think I would have passed on the BSM.
That said, my car has them. I've thought about removing them, but I wonder if the paint underneath would look different. It's not a big enough issue for me to worry about. So mine are staying.

For me it is just a non issue for looks of the car (mine is the only one that counts!) and it adds some protection to idiots that do not care how they get out of their vehicles.
