Default Chrome or black pillar posts??

Edit: to ease everyone’s mind, it stayed black and chrome was done it photoshop to get an idea of how it would look.

A huge NO on the chrome. Cheapens it in my opinion.

I vote black...but isn't the stock pillar already black? Unless you go with some kind of gloss black/carbon fiber finish, it might not be as impactful.

I think the most dramatic change to the side profile of the GS involves tinting the windows and then Chrome Deleting the chrome around the windows like fellow member Marcoe:

What a senseless waste of $$ to put aftermarket junk like that on a car. Doesn't anyone keep their cars stock anymore?!

The factory chrome is fine but anything more would be too much bling-bling.
