For me I really like the way it looks(I really like it with my color and since your GS is white, I think it will help accent the rear.)IMO

Cheers,

I say go with it. If you dont like it you can still sell it for pretty much the same price as new ($100) Just leave the L on and thats it. Once you get larger wheels, it will look a lot better also.

it is a tough one. the chrome does go nice with the white, but it looks so clean without.

I think I'll say pass.

I thought about it for awhile, too. What did it for me was following cars with chrome bars and being envious. Also visiting the JP site helped, too!
