Are those the actual sponsors on the car? Is that TCE Performance (Brakes)?

Welcome! As I am seriously looking into buying a Fusion (99% certain at this point lol), I don't think you'll be the only one looking into doing modifications on their Hybrid. However, Hybrids suspension from what I understand may be different from its gas counterparts. Hopefully the strut itself isn't different. Something to keep in mind.

If I'm not mistaken the MKZ hybrid offers 19" wheel on it and gets 45/45/45. So expected reduced mileage and efficiency with your car. If there is anything mileage or efficiency-wise wrong with the car, should you take it in, the first thing they'll point out is the larger wheels. Be ready for that. See if your dealer can do a $695 add on to your order. If not, look to buy fresh take offs from other Titanium owners. Larger wheels have more mass and add more weight. The only way to overcome this is to have specially made wheels that are typically forged (aftermarket wheels) which adds considerably more cost. Also expect a harsher ride with the 19s (smaller sidewall tires). You will feel more bumps and such from the road. 19in tires are more expensive. Expect to pay $250+ per tire for new tires. Otherwise do it. Your car will look pretty damn sweet and definitely not look like a hybrid! I was considering this as well since those 18" Standard Titanium wheels in my opinion look terrible. Not to mention will be difficult to clean. Either that or roll with the 18" SE luxury wheels (black or silver) or the SE sport wheels. My advice: Keep your 18s and use those in the winter. Use the set of 19s for the summer.

It's nice to get other people's points of view. I never looked at Sterling Gray as being like James Bond's Aston Martin. Now I see that! Now that Ginger Ale is gone (sorry it's my opinion lol) I don't think there's a bad color to choose from! I showed my gf the colors I was looking at and she fell in love with Bordeaux Reserve! I told her it wasn't happening lol!

Better with tune and exhaust

I'm in a bit of a toss up as far as colors go. I'm really starting to like Platinum White now. Deep Impact blue is another color. I personally found Sterling Gray and Silver to understate the car a bit. My personal opinion. However almost every color is a great one and you can't go wrong with either color you chose.

I also made a post about having the Hybrid Titanium have other wheel option choices than the ugly 20 spoke Standard Titanium wheel. At least offer the choice of using SE wheels or offer an 18" option of the H-spoke wheel

Supported. You might be able to add the 2.0L EcoBoost Ti rear muffler section and make both rear tips functional. Or just make your own exhaust section.

Hey everyone! Just another newbie that is seriously considering on purchasing a 2013 Fusion. Right now I'm looking at getting rid of both my '05 Corolla (daily driver) and my retardedly modified '99 3L Cougar and purchasing a Fusion Titanium model. I have considered a HyTi as well as the 2L EcoBoost model. Still somewhat torn. I am an enthusiast driver so I am leaning towards the 2L EcoBoost, but I'm trying to listen to my economical side as well lol. I would like to see how the 2L EB model fairs out on conservative driving mileage.
