The metal trim has to go. Maybe get rid of the emblem, but i like the rear of the car with the blacked out tails. Im simple and your car is classy. IMO trim goes and the car looks sweet

OH YEA, my .02c... Thing is... your trim around the tails doesnt match, on Romeo's car it does because he has alot of chrome. I know that tail trim is expensive, i've also looked into it, BUT... either you go for broke with some 20" chrome rims or you take it off...

The lone IS emblem is very sleek and clean looking.

Chrome overkill = off (IMO). But, it's your decision.

I agree with the others here. Get rid of the chrome tail light trim. I say all or nothing with the badges as well. If you're planning to leave the "IS" on, I would suggest that you take them off and re-apply them, but move them over to the right.
