Minor exterior mods

I wanted to darken the appearance of my 13' FFET so I installed;

Lamin-X - gun smoke shade on the outer taillight ring, rear reflectors, 3rd bake light, side mirror turn signals and charge port.  I used the tint (lightest) shade on the inner tail light section and headlights.

I dipped the inner grill.  I have black vinyl overlays for the emblems. I made a custom my sync quad wallpaper.

I saw this one, but dont you need one more piece that goes below that? Looking into trying to find one local from a salvage yard.

Platinum15Ti, the link you cited would work.

 

Chancelperry, yes you still need the valance which attaches to the diffuser. The OEM parts are interchangeable and fit like a glove.

 

I had been looking to converting for about 6 months. The easiest way is to order the parts online from partsgeek.com they have the best prices I was able to find. Parts would come primed and need to be painted. The hardest way would be to get savage parts, they are a lot of totaled FFTi for sale, but who wants a junk car to pull parts from? I couldn't find savage parts locally or from yards I could find online.

 

Below are the links to the items I purchased.

Diffuser with valance (good for being used but not perfect);

Nothing really new here, just a variation on things.  I removed badging and chrome trim, highlighted the "Energi"drivetrain . . . that's what makes this car different.

 

Grille-

Rather than plasti-dip the exisiting grille, I pulled off the chrome strips . . . . it's easy, just pull gently working from one side to the other (this is reversible):

I then painted the black plastic with gloss black to match the lower grille;

Next I added an "Energi" badge to the painted grille (bought off Ebay used for $14) using 3M double sided trim tape . . . i had to remove one "tab" on the grille where I mounted the badge:

I removed all the "Fusion" and "Titanium" badging . . . . just too much (I used dental floss, then cleaned up with bug remover and polish).  I left the "Energi" badging.  Looks cleaner.
