DOUG

So on their site - http://www.visualgarage.com/Order.php - there isn't an option for Ford or Chevy (which I am needing). Am I missing something?

Send them an email with your info, they'll get right back to you.

WTF? I thought I attached the pics... Let's try this again...

I like it!!!

Beware of imposters

Here is a pic of the sharkfin prior to install. The overall size is 7" long from point to rear, 3.5" wide at the rear and 2" tall at the rear.

 

6 months later and no pic still?

 

That was my original post...pay attention to the 19 December 2009 date on his post...that's when he wrote his....then you wrote.

 

"November 27- February 27 does not equal 6 months.

I haven't ordered mine for the same reason that BluHvn has not installed his yet...too cold to mount it. "

 

Ummm...He wrote his post on December 19th...Where did you get November 27th from? I know, you took it from another post, thereby making a mistake. Then you tried to deny you made a mistake also, which makes 2 fails.

 

Regardless, where is the picture of this SUPPOSED Sharkfin II? It has been discussed since November and several people said here and on other forums that they ordered theirs, but nobody has mounted one? Like the other guy said; use a hair dryer on it if it's cold. I'm not going to buy one until I see how it looks, and I'm not going to claim I bought one unless I actually buy one.

I'll take the high road and let it go... :shift:

December 17 to February 27 (when the post I quoted was made) doesn't equal 6 months either. I looked at his join date. oops. However, I wasn't talking to, or referring to you. I made a mistake on the date. SO DID YOU. It's worse when you try to correct someone and screw up yourself...lol

I did not make a mistake, it still doesn't add up to 6 months no matter how you slice it.

Thanks for the reply Doug! How do the bezels remove?

There are 4 or 5 tabs on the back of it that slide into slots. These tabs have 1 barb that lock it in place. Kind of a pain to remove, be patient otherwise they could break.

These are accesible from under the car through an access panel.

Waiting to see and hear what you had to do to make it work?

No big deal really, installed a new headlight switch (w/foglight) $16.00 at the dealer. Figured which wire showed ground when foglight switch was pulled, and used that to trip a relay to power the fog lights.

Grabbed power at the battery for the relay, used a 15A inline fuse.

The foglights just snap in once you remove the lower bezels. I used an air saw to trim out the bezels so the lights could poke through.

Here is a pic of the sharkfin prior to install. The overall size is 7" long from point to rear, 3.5" wide at the rear and 2" tall at the rear.

Looks good...can't wait to see it mounted.

My Sharkfin arrived today. The paint is an exact match to the Sangria Red. I hope to get it installed this weekend, depending on the temp (the 3M tape doesn't like the cold). Will post pics once done.

Have you installed it yet?

Upon closer inspection it is the switch itself that is clicking when it is pulled out.

I was able to have a look behind the bumper over the weekend, it seems the wiring for the fog lamps is not there.

I will be wiring a relay, that will be controlled by the factory switch, to power the lamps.

I purchased the factory fog lamps Saturday, it seems they just snap in just behind the bezels. I will have to modify the bezels on my car as they do not have the cutout for the lamps.

Done...what a difference they make!! Will post pics once the snow melts.

An update....

 

Bought and installed the headlight (w/fog light) switch and installed it. When I turn the lights on and pull the switch out the fog light icon illuminates and a click can be heard indicating to me that it is powering a relay.

I haven't had a chance to remove the cover behind the bumper and have a look for the factory fog light plugs, should be able to do that this weekend. If they are there I will check them for power and ground.

 

Keep you posted.

Having bought a 2010 S, my Fusion did not come equipped with fog lights.

 

Does anyone know if these can be added? Is the wiring there? Can I buy the switch and lamps and be good?

 

Thanks

I installed a Bronze remote start in my Fusion. No need for a Silver remote start as all it does is duplicate what is on the factory key/remote. No need for a Gold if your car has a factory alarm, although the Gold system does add a shock sensor.

The downfall to the Silver and Gold systems is the physical size of the 6 button remote...it's huge. Carry that, combined with the factory key/remote, and you may hear..."Is that a couple of remotes in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" :hysterical2:

Found this pdf and thought it'd be useful. You'll need adobe acrobat to view it.

 

It's on Ziebart's website

 

I'm sure in a week people will still post questions asking what's legal... :banghead: :finger:

Good info!!! Thanks for posting the link.

I'm liking the wheels on my S.

Just bought the car yesterday and when I questioned the dealer about the different wheels, they couldn't give me an answer.
