[goobee]

Been thinking about getting these but am worried they may cheapen the look of the car.

Yea or nay guys?

I vote "no". Things like that always look cheap.

HUGE no.....adding chrome strips alwasy looks cheap

 

[GottWhat]

Absolutely NO

 

[cozbyrt]

Agree with the other guys. NO!

 

[FenderBender]

I'm going to add a no to all the other nos. Cheap aftermarket bling cheapens the appearance.

 

[TurboLover]

checking in with a huge 'no' here as well

NO! Why ruin the car with that gaudy chrome crap.

Check out the stuff from Europe for the Opel Insignia:

OK, no chrome pillars. 😛

I do like this front spoiler though:

 

[CXLTsouth]

I like it to but if I did the conversion right thats $611 US dollars.

Is that inclusive of the spoiler, paint and installation? If so, that's not that too bad.

As a Buick purist, then you should have no problem with the "Portholes" I've been eyeing on the Lucerne. 😀

IMO, mod and fix your car up the way you like it, the looks, drivability, etc.

If your modding your cars to please other people your doing it wrong.

That's OK, getting opinions is good too. There's a fine line between a good mod and ricing.

Just the other day, I was kidding my wife about bolting a fart can onto her minivan's tail pipe. She didn't appreciate my offer. 😛

Nothing wrong with minivans

Hehe, my Micro minivan as I call it, 1996 Eagle Summit Wagon (2 doors, hatch and sliding passenger door) has a full bolt on exhaust.
But its also AWD, 5 spd and turbocharged (by me) and only weighs in at 3,070 lbs full weight car. 😀

Portholes are okay, but they only belong on a Buick. It's been a Buick trademark for decades and they look silly on any other car. Not cheap-looking aftermarket bling portholes though. Yuck.
