Tom, I'm not that crazy about the looks of those BSM on the C6, but I've run into more and more situations where I almost need something.

Based on your having seen them up close, does it look like the last 4-6 inches of the door is still unprotected?

Are those made for protection or something? They sure don't enhance the looks of the car (quite the opposite actually).

I think a chip from a door ding would be less ugly!

Totally useless and detracts from the fine lines of the car.

It's the perfect companion to the larger spoiler:

They both accomplish nothing except to degrade the appearance of the car.

They are pretty ugly! Could they actually offer any real protection at that height?

Crapa! Looks like one big scratch! In my opinion, it doesn't do anything for the car.

I agree it does nothing to enhance the looks of the C6.
But if GM designed it this way, lots of Corvette owners would love it, as they did with the C5.

I'm usually not a big fan of BSM but I like it on my C5. It breaks up the expanse on the door I guess.

I don't like it on the C6. It detracts from the body lines.

C5 looked good with or without. C6 no way.
