Default I need some help deciding on the GS

I got my chrome trunkbar (thanks carson) and all my emblems are shaved. Im thinking of putting the blackchrome emblems on but Im afraid they wont match. Also installing the c/f plate garnish since I have all the matching aristo c/f pillars and on the rear.

Keep in mind my car is onyx black. So the question is should I go back to chrome or blackchrome??



Car is going on (old pic):

No emblems, chrome trunk bar and cf garnish. It will look the cleanest.

Or if you really want, leave the emblems off, look at it. Then get some tape and put the emblems on and see if you like it without having to use them, that way you can sell em if you dont want to put em on.

Looks great man,

Personally I would go chrome "Lexus" and chrome "GS" "400". I would lose the Lexus symbol.

I just did my white car like that with the black pearl today and I think it looks awesome. Being that you have a black car I would reverse it with the chrome.

Since you are going CF garnish I say no chrome trunk bar and use the black pearl emblems.
