come on people....JP has great VIP stuff but right now they'll try to market ANYTHING to get you guys to buy it. Their aristo chrome door handles are the exact same ones as Toyota Japan... Add 200 more for the JP tape that they use to tape the toyota boxes up with.... I love some of the JP stuff but I'm not stupid crazy about every single junction item....

The JP CF c pillar look wasn't in their catalog til they (junction) saw it on JunctionGS' car...so they marketed that also....

chrome fender trim??? reminds me of a Nissan Sentra back in the 80's lowrider days...next thing they'll market is the phantom roof and some here will be on the bandwagon....

i agree, JP is in the spotlight right now with the VIP thing, i bet they could make altezza's popular again if they just market it and add their logo on it.

No on the chrome fenders
No on the Z3 Fender Inserts

Everything else is money in the bank!

No go with the chrome trim. Caprices came with chrome trim and a lot of guys get them color matched to go with the flow of the car.

I usually hate chrome fender trim, but on that particular LS, I don't think it's all that bad.

kinda not my style. could be one of those things where it takes a while to grow on you. i think i would just paint it to match the car, that way it looks like the fenders are pulled.

NOPERS. Do not like the chrome fender lip, fender inserts, chrome pillars. Makes the car too busy looking. Suprised they didn't get the chrome rear view mirrors. Looks like someone got the "modaholics" going and could not stop til it was too late. Probably still looking for things to mod on the car. You can only go so far and then you just have to stop and be satisfied.
