    Updated pics. of the Fusion

    I haven't done much to it since tint and the sun roof other than keeping it clean. I was able to get a spoiler from ebay for it, it came painted and the color matches perfect! My buddy Bill came down this past tuesday and helped me with the install. I was nervous drilling the holes but I think it turned out great! Let me know what you think.

    Thanks Mike. Next up is a set of splash guards. And eventually wheels, I wonder if Mustang wheels would work? I'm thinking not because the Fusion is front wheel drive. But....

    Thanks Clark. I never thought I'd like having a four door but this thing has really changed my mind. It's no slouch either, it'll actually get up and go!

    Thanks Matt, unfortunatly it's going to be a while before I can afford wheels for it. Unless I get a deal like I did on the ones on my ZX2, $40.00 for all 4 wheels and tires!!

    Thanks Tammy

    Justin, I'll probably wait to do anything with the exhaust when the stock one goes bad. Then I'll go after market.

    5 lug Mustang rims are 5 x 4.5, and Taurus rims - at least thru 1995, were 5 x 4.25, same as the Thunderbirds from the same years, so they wouldn't fit. However, I don't know the bolt pattern on the SN197 Mustangs - but I assumed they are still 5 x 4.5.

    I guess when the time comes I'll just have to do some test fitting before I buy anything. Ford does have a set for it that looks like the old school crager ss, so there are options.

    No it's an automatic. I don't know if they offer a standard with the V6. My gf can't drive a stick just yet, ( I've been teaching her with my ZX2 ), and this is her car as well so we needed an auto. Plus I'm at the point where I'd rather have an auto for a dd.
    Haha yaeh the SHO is gonna be sweet!
