I had the same issue (pealing on the piping, lower front seats) last year with my 13' FFET. It was covered under warranty as 'premature wear'.

Thank you! I didn't think to take any with the rear bumper cover off. They are a couple of 'ford fusion rear bumper cover removal' videos on YouTube.

Put on OEM 19" black satin coated rims with vinyl on center caps. Thanks, Detroit wheel and tires!

I had the same issue, after insisting there was a problem, the service dept finally figured it out. The TSB is "extra bolt", you maybe one of the few who have an extra bolt lodged by the engine block. Good luck!

The eBay item came with both the valance and the diffuser, I was lucky.

Platinum15Ti, the link you cited would work. Chancelperry, yes you still need the valance which attaches to the diffuser. The OEM parts are interchangeable and fit like a glove. I had been looking to converting for about 6 months. The easiest way is to order the parts online from partsgeek.com they have the best prices I was able to find. Parts would come primed and need to be painted. The hardest way would be to get savage parts, they are a lot of totaled FFTi for sale, but who wants a junk car to pull parts from? I couldn't find savage parts locally or from yards I could find online. Below are the links to the items I purchased. Diffuser with valance (good for being used but not perfect); http://m.ebay.com/itm/191854691050?NAV=HOME Bezel tips; http://m.ebay.com/itm/311607256154?NAV=HOME Hope this helps!

I bought the OEM dual diffuser/valance and bezels from eBay. I cut the tip of the exhaust pipe off. The used diffuser had a broken clip tab, so I screwed the diffuser tab to the valance tab slot.

I installed OEM dual exhaust diffuser, bezel ports and valance. 19" OEM wheels on the way!

Here are my 2 cents... I have a daily EV range of 26 miles on a full charge. The Fusion has EV+ which adds a little to your EV range and my 13' FFET has my home and work set as EV+. When the 'EV only' battery is used up you will still have about 1 mile of battery life after you switch to 'hybrid mode'. My one way commute is 9 miles and have learn how use only 7 EV miles, mostly from early braking and coasting to red lights and no AC because of GO time. I set my am GO time earlier enough so my L1 will have time to get back to a full charge. If your commute is mostly highway, then you will deplete the battery quicker. Being able to switch to 'EV later' mode while on a highway is good because you can make the Fusion switch to the battery (hybrid mode) by hitting the 'suspend' cruse control button at the top of a over pass or hill. You in Cali likely have a bigger section then I did in NOLA. I found it impossible to find a titanium that was not fully loaded with all of the bells and whistles (my sticker was 45.6K, but worth it). Not sure why anyone is trying to get up to 60 under a minute in a PHEV or BEV, if you want speed than go with a Mustang, lol. Whatever car you choose, I would recommend you invest in ceramic tint ($300-400) and a heat shield ($70) to reduce the cabin temperature if you have park in the sun.

Thank you!
