jmedia,

Took a peek under the back of the Fusion this afternoon. I had my custom designed rear tire spat in hand to see how it would fit. The tire spat itself was a winner as far as shape in the wind stream. Unfortunately the designers at Ford did not plan well for a place to attach my handiwork and a bracket will need to be designed and manufactured before the spat will have a place to be secured.

Looks like some card board will be the next step in creating the sheet metal bracket I will need. Will try to make up a nice aero style bracket that may enhance the area in front of the tire where the spat will attach. I never get it easy. At least there are three different holes in the underside of the body parts where I can begin my efforts and not have to drill holes.
