kremer4 Report post Posted April 4, 2010 (edited) Installed the spoiler from Ebay. I was amazed at the quality of the spoiler and paint when I got it considering how cheap it was. Edited April 4, 2010 by kremer4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lrymal Report post Posted April 5, 2010 Installed the spoiler from Ebay. I was amazed at the quality of the spoiler and paint when I got it considering how cheap it was.Looks great... nice appearance. I'd be concerned about one bad hit with a pot hole with those 18s, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tires are 45 series, that's plenty of protection. Plus the ride is smoother with the Goodyear Eagle RS-A 225/45/R18 tires I Carpool to work and the guy who rides with me every day said it seemed smoother to. I think the stock fusion wheels are a harder compound for better rolling resistance These are stock 2010 Ford Fusion 18" wheels Edited April 5, 2010 by kremer4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuze-ion Report post Posted April 5, 2010 It definately looks great! I'm wanting to get the LIP Spoiler. So, who did you get yours from?, since you say it was a good paint job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kobra Kai Report post Posted April 5, 2010 Man your FFH looks great! I just bought the same Tuxedo black FFH fully loaded. Love the look, the stitching on the leather, the Sync/Nav system and gas mileage. got a few questions: 1. Was the spoiler hard to install? (I am a bit worthless with tools) 2. Did you tint the front windows the same color as the back (tintiing is a must as it makes the car look even better). 3. What did you do with the tires the car came with? 18s look great but it feel so wastefule to just leave the stock 17s and rims in the garage. Thanks!!

If you look under your trunk you'll see 4 circles, 2 on each side. Just drill a hole in each of the 4 circles. It is scary drilling into a brand new car though :)2. 35% tint front and back3. Not sure what to do with the stock wheels/tires. I might sell them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralteredstates Report post Posted April 6, 2010 If your new 18's are a performance summer tire and you live in snow area, use the OEM wheels for snow tires. That will give you great traction in the winter, save milage on your 18's and make rotating tires a breeze! (2X yearly) I did this (but I live north of Va) and didn't bother with TPMS for the winter wheels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cchaos Report post Posted April 21, 2010 Did you notice any drop in MPG with the new 18s? I've been thinking about replacing my FFS's rims too, but I'm wondering how much of a hit it will have on mileage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremer4 Report post Posted April 21, 2010 maybe a little (2 at the most), I'm still averaging 42MPG commuting 35 miles each way on 66 in Virginia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
