[Clearcoat on black rims peeling :>(]

My car is 7 months old and I have the black rims. I just washed my car and yup probably 35% of the clear is gone on all the wheels. I will have to go in next week and get it looked at. I wonder if ford would be willing to get the wheels powder coated? I doubt it but I would rather have true gloss black wheels than the black chrome look wheels. what a pain in the ass the car just turned 10000km's(6250 miles) and the wheels look like shit. the car is fantastic other than the wheel issue I'm having.

[Tail light mods?]

I also smoked my tail lights RED ring only left white center as is and don't forget the reflectors in the bumper or they will stand out like crazy this is a medium smoked film on lights and bumper reflectors

 

 

in the sun

 

indoors (would look the same on an overcast day)

[2013 Stock 18 inch wheel offset and backspacing]

I was wondering the same thing while waiting for my fusion I can't believe this was not posted anywhere...

 

18" x 8" +55 offset

 

I have a 1.6 SE with Lux package with the 18" gloss black wheels and I took one of to get the measurement they are 18" x 8" with a +55 offset I should've taken a picture of the markings but for some reason I never thought about it at the time

 

hope this helps

[What are the must have accessories, where did you get them and what mods did you do?]

only had the car for 2 weeks

 

 

current mods

- 5% Tint back windows only (front tint is not legal here so for me it's not worth the hassle...but it would look better with the fronts tinted)

- 20% tint on tail lights (Red reflector ring only)

- 20% tint on bumper reflectors

- debadged(not shown in picture)

 

Future mods

- coilovers(once they become available)

- 20" Deep Concave Wheels

 

[New Fusion Owner Pics and Impressions]

I just Bought my 2013 fusion SE 2 weeks ago so far it's been great coming from a 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 the fusion definitely feels more refined and is WAY WAY better on Fuel

 

the fusion is a 1.6 Ecoboost LUX pkg with leather,nav,backup camera,MFT and sunroof

 

I got 5% tint done on the back 5 windows(nothing on the fronts not legal here and the cops are really anal about it too)

also tinted the red reflector ring around the tail lights as well as the reflectors in the bumper

(debadged the back not shown in picture)

 

I'm planning on Coilovers once they become available and some 20" deep concave wheels
