I did take the car out onto a flat spot and looked again. and after several days, it looks like the springs settled ever so slightly.
it's enought that in 1 light the car still looks dead level, but at a slightly different angle it is nose high slightly.
sometime in the next week or 2 I will go in and do the front springs. Even if the car is truly sitting level, it will always bother me. I'll know in my head that it might not be right.
on a side note, those Foose Stallion (FRPP) springs ride pretty damn good. The car has less body roll when I'm running the gears and cornering. I've heard they were lighter springs than my OEM Bullitt springs...if so I can't tell. There is definately less rear squat when I nail the gas. Cruising quality is pretty much the same though

oh yeah, the bezels are there to stay...just not in chrome perhaps.
the ones in the pictures are the door trim things from a parts store. cheap and a test to see if I liked the look. I have a set of the molded/formed bezels in the garage. probably will paint them black to match the SHR panel and the Racing stripes
