You could have said gay, stupid, dumb, retarded or a myriad of other words. They all serve the same purpose, to ridicule someone. OP = Original Poster

Saying something is gay is not stating an opinion it is derogatory by it's very nature. You know this as well as anyone else on this forum. The reason you use that term is to ridicule as it is not descriptive in any other way. Also, having adverse opinions is great, but stating them in a way that infers the other individual(s) is an idiot is entirely inappropriate under any circumstance. Nobody is asking you to say you love everything. We are just requesting that you learn a little tact in your responses. So, even though it IS a FREE country, you should try to be a little more accommodating of others as well. Finally, a enthusiast site for a vehicle is there for ALL types of enthusiast. I really haven't seen you post anything enthusiastic but hey, maybe I missed that thread. You are not any better than the "young kids" you speak of and they are not asking you to do ANYTHING to your car. So let's try to be a little more mature and not try to make them look like idiots. The truth is that will only make you look like one. And to the OP, I still say your mod turned out WELL and looks OUTSTANDING. Which really is the point of being an enthusiast for most of us.

There are a ton of cars that have that type of treatment. It does look better than the stock monotone on the Fusion. That was the point of his post. Your implication was "so what, my car already has that." I think that treatment looks better on his Fusion than it does on the Milan.

Isn't the license plate on the bumper on the Milan? Also, the taillights are different so it doesn't look "identical" to the Mercury. LOL

I'd say that looks pretty good.

Well, I do understand what causes people to install such items. I am normally a form follows function kind of guy myself. But, I just don't like mud flaps. If I lived in an area where there was a lot of mud and debris I would definately use them though.

Mud flaps are gay! LOL Sorry, but I just had to do it.

Just wanted to follow up on this. I purchased the Kenwood KOS-A200 and installed it in my '06 Zephyr. This unit is great. It does a great job of taking advantage of RDS to display it's soure, menus, etc. The sound quality is better than any FM modulator I've heard. I also installed the Kenwood IPOD adapter. I've seen better IPOD controls but it is very usable. Installation was easy. I'll try to get some pics sometime this week. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to keep their stock HU but would like a little more add-on flexibility.

The antenna plug is actually the same as late model Chrysler vehicles. I'm guessing it's a Euro type plug.

They didn't show up for me yesterday but they are showing up now. They look great, especially on a black car.

I'm new to this forum but thought I'd let you know about a device from Kenwood that will resolve your problem if your HU has RDS. I have an '06 Zephyr with the THX II and plan to get one of these. I don't know if the Fusion audiophile has RDS. If it does this is what you need: http://www.kenwoodusa.com/products/ListPro...=58&pr=2568 This nifty little box will allow you to use Kenwood modules(Sirius, Ipod, Bluetooth, etc...) through any radio with RDS. It uses the RDS system to provide text info and a clean signal to the factory system.
