Yes your right it was a mistake. I wasnt paying enough attention the chrome ORIGIANAL ONES are ok. Ive got more. ok This may be my opinion, as i don't like all grills or example but im not gonna list those cause they arent ricey those are different looks, which are your own taste!















Eww, more chome isn't a good thing

Lex_Fnatic, you're certainly entitled to your opinion on these items ( personally I share most of them), but we typically try not to stereotype or bash others members cars / personal taste on our forum. If you don't like something and somebody asks for your opinion, constructive criticism should be expected. A big list of stuff you don't like that may be on 25% of our member's cars....maybe not constructive

I've got one of the items you posted (the TRD gas cap cover) but it's hidden under the gas flap and not out in open like the one you put up. Yeah, it's a little ricey but I decided I liked it after a little personal debate and I honestly don't care if others don't.

Default Thanks dave

I though i did start a new thread , then i didn't notice it until you brought it up. Now i get it. I apologize. Yes, as i said before it's my opinion expect for the juntions i meant to remove. I am just saying that even aftermarket rims can enhance the lines, when things like what i mentioned draw attention , in a bad way. ! It's one thing to put labels of your favorite tuner, and another to rice up a gs, i agree the crhome tails, and head lights trim are ricey.

Hey Fnatic, remember that opinions run a very wide range!! Before you post a bunch of mods that you consider ricey maybe look around the gallery or just hang out with us for a while. The last thing you wanna do is come on and post someones mod as ricey!! Also, you should try seeing some of these things in PERSON before slamming them, alot of the time things look alot better in person!

Me personally I dont like chrome door handles, but would I call Junctions car ricey? No sir. I used to think the Veilside executive front bumper was WAYY overdone for a GS, then a member that lives near me got it and I saw it in person. It has a very aggresive look to it, but its not ricey!

can I say something? regardless, we should just allow people to do what they want to their car. We shouldn't crucify anyone because of the choice of mods that they have. I know I am guilty of this especially when it comes to knockoffs, but its my opinions and we all have one. You can't please everyone. Someone out there will always not like how you fixed up your car no matter what. Its inevitable!

on a side note, I didnt like the thought of chrome door handles at first, but when I put it on my car, I can't look at it again without it. It's something little that helps make the package. Just do what you like.
