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.
I think my 2003 EBM looks better without the molding, but I've seen Silver vetts that look good with them on. Maybe color makes a difference, but for me I like plain sleek lines.
I prefer without. But would worry about it being darker paint underneath the molding.
That's one thing to consider. My car was always garaged so I don't think the paint is faded. Can just remove one of the short pieces and see how it looks.
...wait.....I think we're in for a long debate once again...
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.
Well took me about 3 hours and there off !!! Much cleaner look, cannot even tell wear they were on a 17 yr old car. Try to post a before and after pic if I can learn how to post them. Now its time to order Black Z06 Spider Wheels.

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.
