since there seems to be a surplus of people who hate the BSM's... this should be a good place to ask if anyone has an undammaged set of (preferably torch red) BSM's they would be willing to part with?

please message me if interested in selling

it's all good in my book...i usually don't even notice if a car has them or not unless i literally look for them

i think they look a little sporty too

Well, I hate them because they break up the clean lines of the car, makes the side of the car look cluttered. If you compare a Vette with them and without them side by side, the one without them just looks more sleek.

Default BSM's

I purchased BSM's a year after I bought my Z06. Cost more and had to be painted to match by the dealer. Whether you like them or not, they protect the car from inconsiderate a..holes in parking lots! And believe me, there's a lot of them.
Forum threads say they are easy to remove, but I wonder.

I hated mine and took them off right away. The car came with them new. I sold them for $120. My car is not a daily driver and I never leave it parked outside all day or use it to go to the grocery store. I like the smooth look better.

Default Body Side Moulding

The Best Way To Remove The Moulding Is To Use Fishing Line, The Nylon Multistrand, Not Monofilament. It Does Not Mark The Paint At All. No Need For Heat Gun Unless Cold Weather. Take Approx. 18" Piece Of Line Grip Each End And Pull Along The Side(use Sawing Motion Up & Down) Of Car After Starting At The Front. It Does Not Damage The Moulding If You Are Carfull And Take It Easy. I Have Two Sets Of Moulding From 01 Black And 04 Lemans Blue, It Would Cost More Than The Worth Of The Moulding To Ship.
