Platinum15Ti Posted February 24, 2017 at 08:43 PM Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 at 08:43 PM Here are a few better photos of my 2017 after blacking out the grille and fog lamp surrounds. It had just finished raining, but the beauty of silver is the ability to hide the dirtiness. Also has door emblems removed, lowering springs, and tint (5% all but windshield, 35% windshield).

Platinum15Ti Posted February 25, 2017 at 01:58 AM Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 at 01:58 AM It's plastidip, which is like paint but able to be removed if I decide I don't like it or if I have to remove it when I turn he lease in. I taped/masked around them and covered the radiator and sprayed it on. I got it from the paint isle at Home Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkcooper Posted March 4, 2017 at 03:17 PM Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 at 03:17 PM (edited) My 2017 Ruby Red Platinum goes in for tinting next Friday. Suntek's top end film, 35% in the rear, and maybe 50% up front, with the windshield stock. I might go 35 in the front windows based on how dark the rear seems. I'll take a look midway through the install to make the call. My prior 2015 FFE Titanium in the pearl white looked barely tinted with 50% all around. What did you get for lowering springs? Any observations on the change? Do they change the ride characteristics? Any issues with handling the extra weight of the Energi? Edit: just noticed H&R springs in your signature...

Platinum15Ti Posted March 5, 2017 at 02:22 PM Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 at 02:22 PM The ride quality seems very close to stock, but it does corner/handle better. I do it solely for looks, I'm not a fan of a lot of wheel well gap and have lowered just about every car I've ever owned including Corvettes. I used the H&R AWD springs. I lowered my last Energi as well and after 2 years and 20,000 miles I didn't have any issues. Due to the added weight, they get slightly lower than a normal gas engine Fusion. thinkcooper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
