Since you're going with a BOM and black scheme here are a couple of simple ideas.

1. A common and simple form and function idea for GDs, black out the fog lights and their housings. Paint them a satin/semi-gloss/gloss black and cover the fog lights with smoked Lamin-x film. The end result is a wider appearing lower grill and your fog lenses will be protected from being damaged (160 bucks a pop from Bernadi Parts if damaged).

2. Another simple form and function idea, the rear bumper applique. It protects the bumper from being damaged when loading large, bulky items and nicely accents the plain rear bumper.

3. You could swap (or paint) your BOM hatch garnish for a black (or carbon fiber) garnish.

I don't think there is a DIY (that I know of) but its very easy to remove the fog lights. The only difficult parts are painting the covers and getting the correct alignment.

There is only one screw that holds the fogs in place and two screws holding the color matched cover to the fog light housing.

1. Unplug the fog light's bulbs. The easiest way is to undo the two tab/screws holding up the fender liner, popping it out slightly and disconnect them. It helps if you turn the wheel in (cut wheel right to do driver side, cut left for passenger) to give you easier access to them. If you are having difficulty reaching them still, try jacking the car up for some.

2. Remove the screw holding the fog assembly in place. You can use either a philips head screwdriver or a 8mm or 10mm socket to remove it.

3. To remove the fog assembly itself, lightly pull slightly towards the center of the grill and back. The reason being is that the color matched fog covers have a groove that slides in and out of position. Sort of like how a paperclip (the groove in fog cover) holds onto a stack papers (the bumper).

Now that the fog assembly is out you could either mark the housing and the color matched cover (to keep light alignment), remove the cover, and paint it by itself. Or if you want to keep everything together for sake of light alignment, carefully cover your fog lens with painter's tape/newspaper and tape/etc. to avoid getting paint over-spray on it as well as keep the alignment correct.

Once dry, follow steps 1-3 in reverse order.
