Sunset 14 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Here's my ride after swapping out the wheels for the sportier Ford wheels, adding a spoiler from Spoiler and Wing King and pinstriping the car. For anyone thinking about getting a spoiler from Spoiler and Wing King, these are my thoughts: 1) the quality is absolutely first rate. The color match for my Sunset Metallic was spot-on, and the gloss was a match for the factory paint. It even smelled like new paint when I took it out of the box! 2) the instructions that come with the spoiler are generic, and don't mention the fact that getting to the backside of two of the holes is pretty difficult. Another member of this Forum mentioned that you have to remove the trunk-mounted tail lights - and he's right (fortunately, they're held on by three easily accessible nuts, so it's about a 30 second job. TIP - the studs that the nuts screw onto are anchored in plastic, so when you reinstall the nuts, remember that and go lightly on the torque!) 3) The plastic locating tabs have a nub that fits in the bolt holes on the spoiler. Once you have the tabs taped down on your trunk lid, remove the spoiler from the nubs then put it back on a few times; if you have the tabs in the right spot, the spoiler will go on and come off easily. If the spoiler doesn't go on and come off easily, the tabs are not in the right spot. Make sure you correct this before you drill the holes! 4) to get at the two difficult-to-reach bolts, it's best to use a socket with a universal joint and a fairly long (about 12") extension. Also..... use some kind of sticky goop in the socket to hold the bolt; it WILL fall out if you don't. Anyway, here's a few pics of my car with the new additions ..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangster Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Looks good! It looks exactly like my daughters 2015, with the appearance package sport wheels, the spoiler, the stubby aerial, and the flipping red paint. Her wheels are all scuffed up, I went to buy a set to replace them but they were different, less shiny and more textured, I guess from the Focus and not the Fusion. Way less curb damage but just didn't look right so I passed. She said she hates cars with spoilers, I told her that she had one, it just looks natural on the car and doesn't stick out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirtanon Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Congrats on the upgrades! I like the look with the new wheels. They definitely help give it a sporty look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myfusion17 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I agree with Sirtanon the wheels made a huge difference. From family car to sport sedan! The color is great if I wasn't such a big fan of the blacked-out look this color would be my choice. Very nice ride! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
