I would stay with the stock look...unless of course you had black pearl emblems and it was in black pearl

...at the end of the day it's your car and what makes you happy...you can always remove it later too

How sad is this?? Only a bunch of car freaks like us would be spending this much time debating whether to replace a painted strip with a chrome strip!

Anyway, my vote is nay.

ok if anything a vote by manaray counts as 5

for sure i am still debating, i got some other goodies from my friend (shhh.....) and he threw this in coz' it didn't affect shipping at all.

and adrian, i have to say it's surprising i got a nay from you, i thought it's an automatic yay

oh and yes, the question now becomes -- how many guys doesn't it take to decide on a damn trunk bar?

If your car was silver, I would say Yay. Since you car is blue, I have to say Nay.

Leave it blue unless you take off the rear emblems (but not the "L") The balance of chrome to blue has to be just right. Too much chrome and it is no longer an accent and yes you need chrome or polished rims to have the right effect.

Keep it blue and sell the trunk bar to me !!

I'm following KVA's lead... Buy the black pearl emblems and get the black chrome trunk bar to match.

Hi Henry

I'd say keep it as it is.

But the final decision is yours.
