2016 V6, want to add fog lights, louvers...and
Just bought a 2016 V6, standard pkg, 17" rims...big difference from my 1st car -66' Mustang
Salesman said all I had to do was buy Fog lights & pop them in...I was unsure
Seems the light switch is different if you have factory fogs ?
So how easy is it to add these ? add another switch ? Replace factory switch -cost ?
I also want to add the side window louvers, possibly the back window louver
My friend said the rear louvers can chatter & cause noise...years ago
Anyone have the rear louvers...any issues ?
Windows will be tinted, will probably add a spare tire, trunk matt (weathertec maybe)
I've been looking for 50 years emblems like the 40, 45 etc that I have seen....nuttin ?
Seems the "chrome' on the inside door handles is sub-par....plastic & looks it ?
Haven't tried to clean it....car is brand new
Not sure what else I will do....Cold weather is here for New England....so it will be next Spring before I do too much

Here's what you need!
In 2011 I ordered a fog light kit for my 2012 V6 and it was a perfect fit. Excellent products.

On order, installation will depend upon the weather. Trunk mat with pony logo on order. Also ordered switch back front turn signal LEDs . They are white while driving, yellow when the turn signal goes on. New England Patriots license plate frame replaces dealer frame. Still exploring the car, so glad I bought this model VS used,last model

Started the fog light installation, did not finish
16 screws & 6 push pins holding the air deflector on....seriously ??
6 screws - 2 different types & 2 push pins holding the fog light/turn signal assembly in
Ford engineers should be taken out & shot
1hr 20 min to get the air deflector off, old housing out, new housing in & re-install turn signal.
Ended up having to work today, hopefully can get the 2nd one in tomorrow
Should be easier after doing the 1st one
Then I need to run the wiring & install the lights.....easy
Turning the tire in helps access to the push pins/screws in the wheel well
Then back out to remove & install the new assembly
I used a car jack to raise the car up for more room
