Latest go fast package from 3dCarbon aims for buyers looking for more personalization in their midsize Ford
The nuclear option
According to aftermarket supplier 3dCarbon, sales of the 2013 Ford Fusion are "going nuclear" which is Cali-speak, we assume, for " its' sales are doing quite nicely, thank you very much."
Jumping on this hot sedan bandwagon is none other than Newport Beach-based 3dCarbon. Buyers wishing to seize the opportunity to transform their ride into something more than just another Fusion will be given that opportunity tomorrow, September 1st, when the Ford Fusion body kit that was originally shown at SEMA 2012 will be added to the company's growing list of Official Ford Licensed Accessories available directly through dealers.
The press release states that "The 3dCarbon Ford Fusion body kit and rear wing provides tasteful accents for the sedan, and aligns harmoniously with the original styling direction. This styling enhancement package looks flawless, as if Ford could have designed this right from the start rather than developed as an aftermarket product. The overall Fusion design theme remains intact, yet appears bolder and slightly more aggressive compared with the stock models coming off the assembly lines. This is eye-catching without resorting to outlandish or quickly fading design trends."
Finishing touch
Like the pricey Titanium EcoBoost models, the body kit features a dual exhaust port for all Fusion models sporting stainless steel surrounds that fasten to the rear bumper.
Lest you think the kit might in some way diminish the quality of your Fusion, rest assured that 3dCarbon not only uses the very same high-pressure injection molded urethane used by the OEMs, but the Fusion body kit, itself, but also has undergone vigorous testing and passed the 5mph FMVSS 581 crash requirements of both the Canadian and U.S. governments.
Specifics
According to 3dCarbon:
• Installation of the Ford Fusion body kit and other 3dCarbon / Air Design parts are simplified by being both pre-primered, and pre-taped with 3M tape
