Nah, looks cheap imo. Even if you have chrome shoes I think its just too much. I like a suttle look.

I like the look of the GS without it. I think it looks like a cheesy add on chrome piece like chrome fender-wells, door handles, etc...

My personal preference would be the stock bar and not the chrome one. If you are going all out VIP then I might say yes, but otherwise I say no chrome trunk bar.

I voted NO... Looks a lot cleaner without it. My opinion.

Tough one... I think the chrome trunk bar looks better on
cars that are de-badged- otherwise, it can get a bit "busy"
looking back there.
Also, the color of the car makes a difference.
I was torn on this, too. I broke down and bought the chrome bar
from the crew at Carson Toyota; it came in an OE Toyota box.
I'm glad I did it- I love the look!

Very nice
I agree the chrome bar has to go with de-badged trunk...
