I ended up using the accessory lighting under the middle console. checked with multimeter to ensure it was a switched circuit. I also have my front and rear dash cam hooked up to this circuit. You want to make sure that any lines you tap are separately fused to ensure you don't fry your car's electrical system.

Where did you get the ball stud screw? It was the only thing that didn't come with mine. I still need to get it and ford doesn't seem to know what to get when I show them. If you have a part number that would be great! Thanks

Mind you the steeda product is technically not a cold air but more of a short ram filter with an air box. A true cold air will run the filter down into the bumper cavity.

So from the photo above, I trimmed off both tabs ant the raised area in the middle. Thinking about it now, I may not have trimmed the middle part, but due to clearance issues I have with my driveway, I needed a bit of room. Right in the corners where the lip turns back, I cut little relief triangles to when I heat it up I was able to bend it easier. I measured and marked the middle of my bumper and the lip and set the firs screw in the middle. I continued by heating and adding a self tapping screw every 3-4 inches (I don't want this thing coming off). I don't have any pictures of this process as I did it myself

I solved it by just turning up the volume! LOL

Not on here much, but thought I would update anyone who hasn't seen my updates on Fusion Nation, Fusion Club, or FFC. Bit of work was needed to get it to work, but it eventually did. Existing Lip was beat up really bad, even with 5" of ground clearance Lots of scratches even with the HD Lip New Lip compared to HD Lip Bit of trimming needed to get it to work Final Result prior to paint or wrap 3.5" of ground clearance And for the notorious driveway cheat photo

a premium tune may not do anything for you if you don't have a ram air filter or cold-air intake. also steeda does have 83 and 89 octane tunes. Not to mention the tune and sct unit will set you back $400. If you throw that money at it, fork out the extra $200 and get the CAI or Short Ram air filter.

I know...I was diggin my own grave lol

Sorry, I may have made a tiny mistake. I just got disproved with a little more research and speaking with my uncle (mechanic) Below you will see the true application of a 'Strut' assembly. Below is the front Fusion Assembly: The terms are consistently mis-used by all especially in the industry. I guess what can be said is the fusion has a front 'coilover' and not necessarily a 'strut'. Sorry for fuelling the confusion I'll be quiet now...

For us who are more visual. Example of a strut: Shocks don't have seats for a spring. Shocks are located in the rear of the 2010+ fusions: Coilover:

I can speak for my 2010 in the fact that my understanding of a strut is that it is used as a steering pivot. The fork at the bottom of my shock tower rotates when the wheel is turned. A shock is the piston component of the suspension assembly From the Monroe website Therefore: Strut

I have a buddy with an impala here in toronto (a cop) and he has the gun smoke lamin-x on the tails and some kind of clear on the headlights (to prevent fading and stone chips) and there has been no problems at either extremes of temperature -40C all the way up to 35C

Just put the front and back ones on my car. They worked pretty good. back one needed tiny bit of modification

Bigger subs, amp and construction stuff and rolls of drawings for work

I guess it all depends how you drive it. After I did the tune I also had more gear in my car plus I drove it much harder since my 'butt-o-meter' told me it felt faster. Not to mention I love to listen to the sound of my exhaust in the higher revs LOL. So far I'm seeing the same MPG's. The winter will obviously be worse, and after an oil change it will improve. If I drove it the same as before the tune and took stuff out of my car I am pretty sure I'll see a tiny gain in MPG's but with the custom one Pat at Steeda here in Milton did for me, I told him to ignore the fuel economy in return for a tiny bit more power.
