Pers69 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thems the ones .. run the same set on my bicycle :-) Found some decent aftermarket rims out there ... contemplating swapping them out. Never put nitrogen in my tires - may give that a go, depending on local price Also plan on tint. Thought of HIDs but without retrofitting worried about oncoming driver glare. Will just ride with stock lights and if troubled will swap out OEM H11 for possibly H9 halogen bulbs or a better pair of H11. Waiting for Weathertec or Huskyliner to make a cargo/trunk liner for the hybrid fusion. Ford now offers a additional carpeted liner as an accessory - but those get gunked up too fast.

wazzul Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Pics of the aftermarket Rim's you found would be nice. The only concern I have is that aftermarket rims may not fit the low rolling resistance tires that help the Hybrid obtain better mpg. Otherwise we'd have just gone with the 2.0 Turbo and selected the charcoal rims... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These might look pretty good on a Ruby Red Titanium. That is along as the Red's match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missileman88 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I got one of these for my trunk. Fits nice and gives me enough protection. http://www.levittownfordsupercenter.com/ford-fusion-cargo-area-tray-black-p-1251.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pers69 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Those would look good on the Ruby Red. As to the liner posted - not yet available for he hybrid to my knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fits nice and gives me enough protection. http://www.levittownfordsupercenter.com/ford-fusion-cargo-area-tray-black-p-1251.html I am hoping they will make one for the Hybrid. In my previous car, I had oil and interior dash protectant spill on the carpet and I could never get it all out before i traded it in.

missileman88 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 My apologies. I missed the difference in trunks between the gas and hybrid versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cppawlow Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 When the Husky liners come out for the FFH I'd highly recommend them. I put them in my Titanium and couldn't be happier, they do the job really well! Also they're cheaper than WeatherTech and wash off easily with hot water.I cleaned my car hardcore inside and out (thanks to my dad for buying a garage heater for his garage, haha), and the mats kept all snow/salt out of my carpet, and anything that was left easily vacummed up since it wasn't wet when it got on the carpet. On the other hand, the High Gloss materials are starting to scratch already, which I'm curious if they'll look good after a few years of use. I might look around for something to replace it in the future if there's something availlable. Side-note: If you want to wash your car in the garage during the winter I'd recommend rinsing it off at a touchless wash/self wash and then using Meguiar's Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere. I haven't had any problems with it and it makes the car look as if it was just detailed. Just make sure to rinse off the grime though so you're not scratching up the paint with thicker dirt. I've noticed that touchless washes clean off the hard stuff but leave a fine film of dirt/water that needs to be washed off with a microfiber cloth and a good wash liquid. Plus you can use the Wash & Wax Anywhere for anything on the exterior of the car, including rims, windows and plastic parts. Anyone else try this compound?

JSKershaw Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I just checked and the WeatherTech mats are now available for the Fusion. Only the front rows, but they are available. Worth checking out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
