Default I say yes

I say yes if you have chrome wheels but I would say no if you have stock wheels or if you go black wheels keep stealth look

SUPER easy man! I did mine the other day in 5 min, but I already have every interior panel in my car missing at the moment so it was cake. If you ever need a hand just hit me up, these cars are amazingly easy to work on.

you have to remove the old one from the inside of the trunk lid, where you install the license plate lights?

Lic Plate lights are not attached to the bar,they are attached to the trunk, they just stay in place. 4 bolts and two clips and it pops right out.

I like it for cars with chrome badging or no badging, but I wont do it on my silver 02 as I have black chrome badging and thought it would clash...

but it looks sweet on the white with chrome rims

You get the trunk bar painted black chrome if you wanted to.. That would look pretty good.

Don't know if someone said this already but it really depends on what color your GS is. I think it would look great on my PDW GS, but on the emerald or blue GS (dont know the names of the paints off hand)...not so much.

I say go for it man. I personally like them especially with chrome badges and exhaust tips. I have it on mine and I have a darker color.
