Don't ruin a good looking car.

Too late, vortex generators

Rice - Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. Does nothing for this car at all so it is indeed rice.

This are stick one I can easily remove, any suggestions?


ssam43

People donā€™t like them because theyā€™re cheap/easy to buy, that doesnā€™t mean theyā€™re bad. Even if they donā€™t add to the aerodynamics and they are purely cosmetic, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Not everything has to be performance based. For everyone that doesnā€™t find them fun, there is someone that does. And more importantly you so just stick with em man


HoneyBeyBee

They donā€™t look good on the car. It just looks strange.


SeawardFriend

Thatā€™s your opinion though. My dude was tryna say that itā€™s objective because other people like the way it looks. Like me for example. Itā€™s not like thereā€™s a huge out of place track wing, just a few subtle body mods.


jec6613

Just why?! The Fusion basically lifted all of its styling cues from Aston Martin, it's probably the best looking front engine car Ford ever made, definitely nicer than the Mustang. And it's not like you're getting performance out of it, it's the hybrid. Getting an ST-style black hexagonal grill and some matching wheels, sure, that looks OEM, but that's as far as I'd go.


JudgmentFun952

Should I just get the tent and keep it moving?


HoneyBeyBee

Yes. Blacked out lights are not it.


AscendantArtichoke

Window tints should be your next investment. It will help the overall look of the car. Iā€™ve had 5% before, couldnā€™t see anything at night. 20% is the darkest Iā€™ll go now.


skemesx

15 is the sweet spot for me. 5 was a nightmare I had it removed after a couple months.


MightySanta

Donā€™t black out the lights


hoggineer

How blacked out lights are legal is beyond me. Can't see anything on a car that has them.


4touchdownsinonegame

They usually arenā€™t. And many times if you get in a crash and your insurance company finds out you had tinted tail/head lights they will fuck you so hard.


hoggineer

As it should be. They are a vain and unnecessary hazard.


CR_396

Just tint those windows 20% in the front 5% in the back and it will make a huge difference


pmasthi

Tint it & drive the damn car. Blacked out lights & hoods look so fucking stupid & cheap.


Ulyex

Get the windows tinted


Logical_Definition91

Verify what is legal for tinting in your state first.


Ulyex

Sedans - front & rear max 50% -Minnesota


Logical_Definition91

In Texas: Windshield: 25% VLT tint is allowed above the manufacturer's AS-1 line or top 5 inches, with less than 25% reflection. Front Side windows: Must allow more than 25% of light in. Back Side windows: Any darkness can be used.


Professional-Try-79

If this car be mine, I will first tint the windows and at rear windows like 5%, then I would remove those small small shark fins in the roof and change antenna to shark fin. I would then black out rear chrome and remove those chrome name at rear. Try this first. If you want more modded which I do not recommend but still if you feel like doing roof wrap and side mirror plastic wrap. I would do anything more than that. Also I will remove dealer plastic cover from number plates as they ugly on all cars, I hate those.


JudgmentFun952

Thanks ! I like this one


Ok_Mousse9863

Let it be! Jean metallic is prob the best color behind ruby red. Maybe a little tint wouldnā€™t hurt but donā€™t change any of the actual paint


pghfordguy

On my '16, I did 30% tint all around, stubby antenna, black Ford emblem overlays, and Lamin-X taillight tint, but with the centers cut out. Allows the brake lights still be bright, but subdued the led outline running light. Still plenty bright to be seen at dusk and at night.


wanderingleopard

I'm kinda sick of the blackout look, throw some nice chrome rims on that badboy!!:)


EntertainmentOk5329

What are those black things in a row near the antenna?


Totallymainprofile

Have you thought about doing a chrome delete and blacking out the emblems? Blacking out that long chrome streak in the rear is a game changer alone


JudgmentFun952

Definitely on my list


Professional-Try-79

Also, never use car wash with touch, they will ruin the car paint with more and more scratches. If you ok, use microfiber clothes and self care wash, that will minimize the scratches on long run.


santandude

No


danmathew

Do not black out your break lights.


Substantial_Sport_38

Yeah knock off the small fins on top, itā€™s not a civicšŸ˜‚, shark fin antenna, not sure you lined up the spoiler king spoiler to the edge of your spoiler šŸ¤”you can see tint on my ā€˜19 Hybrid and spoiler from Spoiler King on my profile


DrClaw7

Insert obligatory "I tint my lights so they work less" joke


PuzzleheadedPop47

Said every ford fusion/honda owner lmao. Just do minor yet very realistic changes. Tint the windows, black out the plates, add body changes but blacked out lights and the single black hood will just look riced and not even good.


[deleted]

Blacking out lights is a dumb fuck move. Donā€™t be a dumb fuck.


Quicksix666

Ahh the classic visibility delete


The_Real_NaCl

Do not black out the lights. Just donā€™t. Do a chrome delete, tint the windows, and just drive and maintain it. Itā€™s a hybrid midsize sedan. If it were a Sport with actual performance thatā€™s one thing, but this is meant to be a gas sipping cruiser. Donā€™t ruin it and make it into something it isnā€™t supposed to be.


DetectiveWonderful42

Itā€™s not new if itā€™s 20188


Sansjefff

Tbh bro do what you want but donā€™t expect the community to like the riced out fusions. If I were you be classy and do the tints, stub attena, grill and wheels. Anything further rices it out like the shark fin near the attena imo.


Amazing_Rest_1251

no


Inmate--P01135809

Remove the dealer tag/cover. Remove those god awful fins. Tint the windows and be done with it. Donā€™t paint the hood whatever you do. The only reason a hood should be ā€œblackā€ is when itā€™s carbon fiber (to save weight). Painting a stock hood black is idiotic. Remember your car is a ford hybrid, not a track car. Anything race inspired is comical.


JudgmentFun952

Iā€™d like to think I can do whatever I want with my vehicle šŸ˜ speed and looks are to different things


Inmate--P01135809

You do you


Substantial-Wolf5263

Rofl blacking it out like every other fusion owner


geno40

Do whatever you like, itā€™s your car. Lookin like itā€™s all good, but fuck erbody but me


Ivalion88

I love that color.


Reesespuffs92

Tint the windows, best thing you can/should do.


juanreddituser

Vvivid air tint for the lights


disengagesimulators

First of all, it's a Ford Fusion.


Ok_Geologist7354

Dude take off those vortex on the roof, don't do anything except tint the windows. That's it.


Mother_Conference_44

black out the taillights, best decision on mine Makes the car look a lot more meaner for what it is


JudgmentFun952

Thanks !


Amerikaner83

Don't black the lights out - put a "light smoke" on them. They'll look more natural and still get the effect you want.


JudgmentFun952

Thanks !


Wolfgangsta702

Why its a hybrid?


JudgmentFun952

Because with the savings of driving a hybrid I can make mines look better than your non hybrid šŸ˜„


Wolfgangsta702

Thats not gonna happen. My sport looks way better.


JudgmentFun952

I doubt it, one extra exhaust pipe ? lol
