  1. Yes. The only Fusion model that is somewhat different is the Sport. But why would it matter, since almost everything they sell at "Your Hot Car" is listed as being "universal"? Looks like a bunch of ricer junk to me. If you are actually looking for body side moldings (door ding guards?) check out SportWing. They make excellent products, which come pre-painted. I spent $100 and about 1 hour installing their body side moldings on my '10 SEL and they look exactly like "factory" parts.
  2. There are LED "bulbs" that will fit in the standard bulb sockets. One thing is, they are usually larger than the standard bulbs, so they may not physically fit into the housing/reflectors on the vehicle. Look on eBay... there are dozens of vendors selling LEDs that will plug into standard sockets. If your car takes 3157 bulbs, which I believe it does, just do a search for "3157 LED" or something similar. Here is an example: LEDs
  3. If whatever chemical they use to treat the leather is going right thru your clothes and giving you a rash, it must be some highly toxic, very strong stuff. Hard to imagine it not causing other people problems. The way things are mass-produced, it would have to be on more than one car too. My medical opinion (FWIW!)... something else is bothering you.
  4. Brand new '10 SEL with factory spoiler here. My auto dimming mirror doesn't seem to work at all.
  5. T/R answered me last night. They verified that I can use 235/45-18 tires on 18x8 wheels with a 40 mm offset on a '10 SEL. Bolt circle is still 5x4.5" (114.3mm) and the hubs are also the same size as before.
  6. That's a good point. However, nothing has changed in the chassis, brakes, suspension, or main body structure of these cars between '09 and '10 models. Yes we have new engines, and the outer sheetmetal styling changed a bit. I do have an inquiry into T/R about fitting 235/45/18 tires on my '10. We will see what they tell me.
  7. I put a Magnaflow system on a V6 Grand Prix. It was quite obnoxious, and had a really horrible "drone" right at 65 mph. Very annoying on the highway. For some reason all V6s with louder exhausts just annoy me. It it was a V8 it would be "just right". Who knows if they have tuned the system for a Fusion better than that old Grand Prix. I know, based on past experiene, I wouldn't do it!
  8. The basic car is the same '09/'10. If you look on a site such as Tire Rack, they are recommending the exact same wheel/tire combos for '09 and '10 Fusions. Far as I can tell with an 8" wheel 40mm offset is about right, with a 7.5" wheel 45mm offset is about right. A few mm one way or the other doesn't matter. Things are not that tight in the wheelwells with 225 or 235 tires. With a much wider tire, things get more critical.
