Well, after a "minor" screw up with my stock rubber, the Fusionator hit the streets today. Still needs minor exterior cleanup... Like getting rid of those fawking Mustang ponies for the SVT ones I asked for.... I already had one person ask me if it was a 4 door Mustang.
Next comes the mechanical stuff, but for now here are the exterior shots, enjoy:

What I actually ordered was those rims but with SVT centre caps in place of the prancing pony that comes standard with 'em, so I have to poke at Dixie Ford parts to see about what happened.
As to the CH, that stays regardless of any other work, gotta honour the heritage y'know :D

Wow Nef your car turned out great, it looks very upscale with the tan leather. As for the chrome, to each his own, I think it look great.

No drop at this point (all I'll have left for cash for this year is a light tint all the way around)
Other issue is a drop that's too severe may end up causing issues at the condo because of the steep angles going in & out :ph34r:

I was surprised, I think the polished lip of the rim makes it look more balanced when its on the car. Still thinking about deleting/changing the massive chromage in the front end though...
Had to laugh though... I was at a car wash today and ahead of me in line was a Mustang GT with the same style rims in silver, at one point we had to both get out of our cars and he looked back at mine and just did the "bwah"? look :lol:

Wicked job Daniel! Yeah, it'll "clean up" nicely once the SVT centre caps are on there. It doesn't look bad with the Mustang wheels, just "odd" IMO.
Makes me want to get started on the Escape now, dammit. :lol:

Yup, I originally had a white Maple Leafs surround that someone gave me for Christmas years ago but thatt got replaced with a year by the black one that's gone through three cars now (Olds to Focus to Fusion)
The CH sticker is the last of a batch that I grabbed from a Ford dealer while in Switzerland in '03 (In fact those were the last that dealer had as they were no longer being given away at that point but being sold for profit in stores)
Being at that Ford dealer was weird, seeing Explorers with yellow turn signal lamps was just bizzare :blink:

...and without the high end sound & NAV, but I have SYNC in mine so as far as I'm concerned, I win :D
Once the mechanical upgrades get installed I'm betting that I would at least hang around with your car for a while longer before you blew me off too :P :lol: The Zephyr had I think around 30HP over a Fusion or so? :unsure:

LMAO 4 door stang some people I don't know. The SVT caps will looks pretty sharp, I really like the Lip makes teh front end a lil more aggresive. As for the Sticker on the back I would have chosen a different spot for it looks werid in the middle. I would have thrown it in one of the corners or on the bumper
