Default Body Side Molding

I am thinking of adding body side molding (bsm) into my 2003 Gray Corvette Couple. I was just wondering, if any of you did this ? How do you like it ? What did it cost you (for the bsm, painting it, and installed) ?

Also, if any of you that have the bsm removed and why ?

Thanks in advance................

Plan on removing mine this weekend (1998 pewter coupe), prefer the cleaner look without them. Strictly personal preference.

Can't help you with the install questions. But, you'll find there are two distinct camps here on the BSM - those that like them and those that don't and never shall the two agree. Go with what you like.

Mine came with them. I like the car better without them and they serve no useful purpose other than appearance (too low for a rub strip). I'm just don't feel like going thru all the hassle to remove them.
