Looks good Swen, need to black out the fog rings to complete the look.

IDK about that. I had black fog rings for about a year, (on my Moonlight White car), then went back to chrome because it looked awkward to me.

I think Swen's front end would look more balanced if his Fuji were chrome, floating in that sea of black on black grille.

Headlights look real good in that photo. Normally not a fan of halos, but I've been getting much less critical about them over the years, and the headlights certainly look good on his car. I think it's because of the bright white fogs.

Well you also dont have your headlights done and the chrome from them and the fogs I could see together; but imo they look out of place with his headlights and grille blacked out

Yes, there's chrome in my OEM headlights. I see where you're going.

But I think you've just explained my opinion for me, that the chrome fog rings work because of the halos. Paint the fog rings black, and the fogs won't have that ring effect anymore. Just a blob of white light.

Spring finally hit last week. New coilovers are on the way to replace my current Swift springs. I want to go lower but it's already annoying to drive in winter at the current height. Plus I do not have after market camber kits / toe arms.
Thoughts?

If you don't want to go lower, then why upgrade to coilovers?

Stock shocks worn out?

I can't stand the ride quality anymore. The rebound going over big humps feels like I am flying out of my seat sometimes, and it feels like it has been getting worse over the years.

The opportunity for a cheaper set of Ksport came up so I grabbed it.

Thanks, I actually like the chrome on the fog rings. Plus I also still have the chrome on the Windows and I want to go back to the chrome infinit symbol on the grill

Thank you. I actually want to go back to the chrome Fuji. Every time I look at the grill it seems like there is something missing. Is there actually a chrome paint or how would I reverse it since its painted?

IDK. You're describing the one scenario where Plastidip is the hero.

I suspect you have to buy the part new, assuming it parts out separate from the grille.

Its a separate part, it just clips into the grille. Would be nice to just take it off and respray

Since it's already painted, why not try white first? Match the car color. I'd bet it'll look better than black.
