I would say yes, as long as the badging and bar will match. I wanna do it, but I have the Black Pearl emblems.....not sure if they make a bar thingie in that color.

I did not read all 6 pages to see if someone already said this but i say this:

Yes if your car is Debadged

No if it is Badged



Too much going on to look clean with the Badges, (L), and Bar.

it's a sportier look with the body coloured bar, and a luxurious look with the chrome. just depends on what "look" you're going for.
