I am all down for the matched grille, but I really don’t feel like dishing out a handful of cash to have the fog light housings matched. Anyone have a guess as to how much that might cost (painting the fog housings?). And does plasti-dip really come off without a ton of effort? Let’s say I didn’t want it any more how hard is it to take off? ---

You should look into having all the shiny on the headlights blacked out, if youre going to do the grill.

I would love to get a set of the 17’s that come stock on the 2.5 GT models and the limited models but they are gonna be pricey unless I can get a crazy deal off craigslist or something. ---
