Well i voted nay, i'm not too much of a fan of chrome.

Rominl- You know i think your car is badass with or without that trim piece, but i like it as is. Your going to have to find a new hobby since you already have every possible mod for the GS,hehe.

Henry,

I think the blue goes much better overall than the chrome.

Your the final judge though. Good luck.

Mine's in the mail and I'm comptemplating the same thing. The chrome will look great with that blue and badging. Go for it! Try taking a pic from a distance so it's not so in your face.

I voted Yay (because I want one; the back of my car is kind of naked right now without the badges). Your car could go either way. Blue looks good and you have full badges, exhaust tips that show, and a wing.

I dont like chrome unless it is used as an accent to the body lines and matching the rims, you do not have chrome rims so I would stay away.

believe me i have debated that item many times and u know i love chrome but i also think its too much chrome 4 the rear of our color and even tho i have chrome wheels i still thouht it was too much 4 me, so i vote nay 2 the chrome.....OMG i just nay on chrome!?!? ...............this is just my honest opinion...good luck.


as far as u'r original question , i say take it 2 the next level....this car won't ever get old looking even when the new gs comes out this one will b modern looking, so i say depending on what u want 4 the car take it 2 the next level..

I'd say yes if you had chrome rims, but since you don't it will look a bit out of place to me....but it's your call, man. Do what makes you happy.

I voted Yay b/c I like chrome and want to get one. After seeing JP cars with their chrome door handles, I think it wont be overkill. How much did you get it for? I wonder if it's the same as the new Camrys?


Quick Reply: yay or nay?
