I'm taking mine off because Maxie Price orders all Z's with them.

If I couldn't get mt Z06 w/ BSM's, I still would have bought it. I did have a chice and got them, even as an option and still have no regrets. Either way, w, or w/o, I like my Zee!!!! Bill

I like the look of the car better without the moldings, but if it's moldings you like then I like the "factory" placement of them the best

They absolutely ruin the lines of the car....period. In my original order,I had BSMs,called the dealer back 3 days later after looking at vettes with and without them. I decided I'd take the risk of a ding. Not my daily,anyway.....

How about two BSMs on each side. If one is ok maybe two is better. I saw a picture of a Z with two and thought that was original. That is why there is chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

I like them. The top one is more straight the middle one follows the flow of the body better. By the way I looked long and hard to find that subtle difference.

I like the "factory" position shown in the middle pic. Also, I like the BSM option on the QS body color more than all the others.

BTW, there are at least two other alternatives. Remove the short length BSM strip from the cove areas or the longer ones along side the doors.

I just got in from the garage after pulling of my BSM's. Great timing. I think you can guess my vote.

Looks great without but I'd leave 'em on if it was a daily driver or if I parked in lots much.

Personally, I like the cars without. The BSM is a little too "busy" for my tastes, but they don't make the car ugly, either. I got every option EXCEPT the moldings.
As for the "revised level" (top) photo, it's definately ugly. Ruins the lines. The factory (with a slight rake that matches the body lines) looks much better IMHO.

I like it with or without BSMs, my car has them. (bought in stock)
I like the factory placement better than the upper placement.

Mine came without them from the factory. I had the dealer add them for me. $300 extra and painted to match. I think they look great.

I like mine where it is. A friend just bought a black '01 Z. It has an RKSport hood that is red on the raised area in the center and fades to black as it goes towards the windshield. The same paint scheme, red fading to black, was done on the BSM's and they really looks sharp.
