I think you should get your emblem chrome again. I think it will look better. Also black headlights would also look very nice I think. I also need to get that done on mine.

BTW you got a lot of extra room in your garage there! I wish mine was like that =)

Well, I'd like to do the headlights but hate to go through the hassle of opening them up, etc etc. Been there/done that when I did retrofits

Also, the garage is deceiving lol. There's no more than 8" of room when I back the car totally into the garage to clear the door.

I'm kinda liking the blacked out emblem. I removed all the emblems on the rear, and having the Fuji chrome in the middle of the black grill looks out of place to me. Good thing is, is that if I change my mind, it'll peel right off

In person does the grille look more like a greyish or does it actually look black? i'm debating on doing this to my IP sedan...

Looks great btw!

It's a matte black, with a very very slight satin sheen to it.

I'll try get a close up with macro activated if you like

Close, but not perfect, as the lower grill "slats" are slightly weathered and not as black as before. But, the upper matches much better now versus the previous midnight grill color.
