Yes, all SX trimmed Fortes do, the Solo performance exhaust tip fit perfectly, looks factory i think.

Did you take badges off to plastidip them or leave them on?

Everything I plastidipped was taken off the car, cleaned, sprayed, rinsed after dry and then remounted/attached.

Thanks for the compliments, I wish I had the funds for a lip kit, coilovers, and new wheels, but eh, I'm happy with the outcome thus far and i can still almost pass for the factory upgraded look...I kinda felt bad for the stock car, knowing it would suffer a lame existance ;0
