I can understand what you're saying and agree that yes it would not go with the flow of your car IMO.

I personally like chrome but can also understand that some people ( not anyone here on CL ) would chrome there entire car if they could.

Just my .02 cents.

I like the chrome trunk bar but too much chrome in the back is overwhelming. I plan on getting a chrome trunk bar but I'll be shaving the emblems, maybe except for the Lexus symbol.

That's totally my plan. I removed the badges (we don't need no stinking ...) and added tips. Now I need the trunk bar.
