It can go either way,just go with your gut

P.S. blacksc400 & Racingstyles cars look good with them...that guy on ebay is known for jacking up the price on stuff i'd do a search because i'm sure you can get them cheaper.

dude seriously it just depends.. i lived in japan for a minute and have seen a lot of nice cars (sedans) with these (usually nissans), and i have seen a lot that this was either their only mod or 1 of 100 in which case both of these usually looked horrible. to much chrome is not a good thing.

I got it from a local dealer. I love this mod. It's very subtle that most people don't even notice it on my car.

Em... on the 430, tough decision. On my RX300, I had them installed because there was NO CHROME on the handle at all. With the LS, there is chrome "trim" but I guess it depends on if you think the chrome is enough or not.

For me... maybe after I have my LS a few more years, I might want a change and add it.

It's up to you but I kind of like the black (in my case) and chrome look.

Can you not just scrape away the paint just like on the trunk trim?

OH MY !!!! If you do, remove the handles before applying the paint remover. Don't just cover with masking tape along the edge.

Someone had killed their trunk lid without removing it...
