I see you're rapidly clocking on the miles...I'll keep mine in the garage for you when you require #5 next year.

Gas mileage increases.....this one may prefer 89 octane; more testing required.
Other than the broken-flexpipe exhaust drone, the rattling sway bar, and the cacophonous Blizzaks, the car is a smooth quiet dream on any decent road.
It is getting more work.

Sad.
Nothing lasts forever.

You had this done on another former Kizashi, correct?

....and now the car can cruise quietly (as long as the rear sway bar isn't rattling).....

3/18/21 69,097 miles, got both low-beam bulbs replaced. ($133)
And the broken fender liner and front plastic underbody valance wired-tied/screwed/rigged back into place.
During the bulb replacement it was discovered that the driver-side lamp assembly holding the high beam bulb was broken, and a repair rigged to hold the bulb in place; the 'cap' was not reinstalled.
Good thing I have a spare car for parts.......
My mileage with Mobil premium hovered in the 24--25MPG range, so I tried Shell's 93 octane. Nope, same. Again filled it with Gulf 89, and 228 miles consumed 7.413 gallons. Nice.
