Thumbs up
I have the Chrome trunk bar on my car and I really like the way it looks IMO! My vote is yes, and especially on a White GS, that look sharp!

Cheers, and good luck with the mod!

IMO, it depends.

What else do you have 'going on' on the back of your GS? What badges do you have and color (chrome, black pearl, gold, debadged)? Is your exhaust chrome? Any kit in the rear? Spoiler / no spoiler?

Think all the things in that area need to work 'together'.

Chrome bar compliments the JP spoiler more so than the stock one. I would get it if I had a JP spoiler only.

I would say yes on your car. You only have the chrome L and I think with just the one emblem it wouldnt be too much. Also your car is white so chrome wont stand out as much.

The chrome trunk bar would enhance the look of your rear end! It's an inexspensive mod that will give your tail a little bling, bling! -wringo

I voted yes, but I have it, too. It matches my emblems, door handles and rims.
