xgman Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Great looking cars guys - glad to see some are getting deliveries. Have the Fusion and will say Ford really missed the boat big time on the DRL's in the US. All other brands are really using them for some identity. I believe with any model - Ford can enable those lights as DRL's in the US and I think they already are in Canada. Other will probably have a more definitive answer - but the LKZ lights are cool and would have them enabled if possible. The Fusion didn't get quite the same treatment. I think Ford overall has missed DRL's for safety in the US - I know there are many arguments for and against, but I do like a cool set of lights that separates a car or a brand. I think it was an idiotic shortcoming personally. It would be 1000 times better to have them on just in the front in daytime. They checked and they can't turn them on without some hardware changes which seem unlikely, and parking lights turns too many lights on, so not a good alternative, and not automatic. Oh well . .

woodrowwilson Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I know the rear seats fold on the FFH, do they fold on the mkz hybrid? If so, can somebody snap a pic and post it, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do fold - I have seen it in person when I test drove hybrid back in February! :-) John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stentgraft95 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Looks great. Is that a legal percentage? I hope so, because I may do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMSgt B Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Looks great. Is that a legal percentage? I hope so, because I may do the same. Everything is legal until you get caught!!! In FL, these would be considered illegal but it is accepted as the norm here. I've never had any problems with tint.

jschmitt3 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 :-( Tinting is completely illegal in PA .... and they crack down on it all the time! Not even worth my effort .... John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stentgraft95 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 It seems that way here in Indiana too but I've always been paranoid that I'd meet that one cop that hands me a razor blade and tells me to start scraping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Indiana too and I know there are several tint shops around - I thought it was OK to tint as long as it is within limits. Not sure what the limits are but I would think the shop would tell me if I ask so I do not end up scrapping it off - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanner83 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Wow guys, your cars look beautiful. Congrats. Long time coming SMSGT glad the wait is over. For those of you that have the dune interior, i am noticing that the car doors and the door plate area seem to get scuffed up pretty easy. I cannot figure out if that material is vinyl, or leather, or plastic. I took my car to a car wash and had it detailed and I had to show those guys these area's. What do you think that material is made of, and what would you use to clean it weekly?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love everything about that Dune interior - but yes it definitely has high "scuff" capacity ... With 2 kids (10 & 7) - I can see myself needing to have a good handle on how to clean all dune surfaces pretty soon! If anyone finds a product/products that are recommended - let us know! Also, I already have (not sure if it was there before) 2 minor scratches on the chrome (? i think it is chrome) on either side of the cup-holder doors. Any thoughts on this?

galangg Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I took delivery of my car last night and did not have the chance to get photos until today. Of course, my newly detailed car is completely covered in the 8000 pollen count. It was 4000 yesterday. I adore this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
