    Default And so it begins...

    So, I'm not even at the 3 month mark with this Fusion, but for some reason it doesn't look like it used to.



    So far, I've installed the black billet grille, stubby antenna, HID's in both the headlights and fogs, and ordered a set of 18's for it. Just need tint now...

    Again, the plate originally was to hide a blemish, but I see the car taking on a Euro look by the time it's done anyway, so it's staying.

    I'm not sure if I will lower it. I plan on buying the 3d Carbon lip kit, and I think that might make it difficult to drive in the winter.

    The 3D Carbon parts are nice, you can't go wrong there and the 18s will complete the look for sure, looking forward to seeing more pics

    Well, since I like to give what people ask for...

    Right now, I really need to get the clear side markers and an OEM plate bracket to modify for the plate so it doesn't look like a quick chincy thing I threw at the car.

    The wheels are 18" Drag DR-19's (machined face/lip) with Falken Ziex ZE-912's. I wanted some sidewall, so I went with 245/40r18's.

    Looks great with the wheels!

    I say black out that side marker lights and figure something else out for tail lights. Ford was smokin some 10 year old hash the day they thought altezza style would be a good idea.

    Realistically, the only two choices for the tail lights is to either tint the lens or bake it open and paint the chrome. I'm not sure I want to try either and risk costing myself a few hundred dollars. I'd try the eBay route and buy tails from that to bake open, but I've read it doesn't go too well with them.

    Looks awesome with the wheels! The wheels and grill complete each other.

    The front plate mounting can definitely use some help though.
