The BSM's go from behind the front wheel to the back edge of the door on each side. Is this what you're referring to?
I have them and love them, but that's why they are an option--get what you like.
Oh--welcome and don't forget to

Its the body side molding, an option on the C5's. Some like it, some don't. IMO, it looks good on some colors.

Thank you for such a warm welcome!! 
I've been very busy shopping. So far, I found a 1997 local to me in black, which is my color of choice, about 65k miles for about 16k. The only drawback is that it is an automatic and I've been really hoping for a manual, but it is so difficult to find one that meets all my requirements
Again, thank you all for the welcome, I cant wait to be driving my new vette!
