Solid list. I need to see if I like how these look on the new gens... I do have some chips already on the front of the hood. I used to have the super low profile one from AVS on my 3G, it wasn't bulky and followed the body lines really well. I don't like the bigger versions, personally. Might need to try the low profile one again...

These companies need to do better with more vehicle specific images. It's hard to tell if you're even going to like it when you install one.
