Re: Side molding Yes or No (thefly)
My preference is to have the BSM. They give a sleek look to my 2002 Z06. Added benefit is to protect car. Once or twice they protected side panel from dings. :steering:

If you go to the other Z06 web site, you will see that statistics show that half of the Z06 come with BSM, and half without. This poll just mirrors reality! :D

Re: Side molding Yes or No (Cali)
For me it depends on the color of the car. On cars with solid colors, the BSM's look better (black, white, red, yellow). On cars with more intermediate colors I think they look better without (blue, silver, mag red).

Re: Side molding Yes or No (Aslan)
If it is a plain C5 (no added Z06 ducts, etc) I think it looks better with the BSM. Kinda breaks up the plain smooth side.
If it's a Z06, then no. I think the brake ducts and bagde break up the side quite nicely.

When i was at the dealer, I saw a Vette with the moldings; the moldings took at least 30 nice hits, but the door looked like it never had a ding. I also think they look sleek

I used to not like them... I dont have them on the 98.. the Z has them... I have grown to love them now... they have also saved me several times from door damage and dings... ... it also adds a nice line with my new skunk werkes kit....

Re: Side molding Yes or No (Traceys2vettes)
I did not like them before I got my Z. Now that I have them, I love them! Wouldn't have it any other way! :cool:
I got a good comparo this weekend at a local meet, I parked next to a Nassau Coupe, and there was no comparo! I think they look like they are missing without them.... Almost looks to "Low profile" to me.
