I haven't had a ticket for anything in.... 12 years or so.... I was honestly shocked I was getting pulled over... as a matter of fact I knew she was behind me and was on my best behavior lol..

On a side note we talked for about 20 minutes or so about my SHO vs her PI.. she was pretty knowledgeable about it! She said she didn't want to give me a ticket but since she had run my plates it would have been an issue if she didn't... not sure how true that is but oh well...

They know if someone is on their best behavior, that someone is likely transporting drugs, weed at the very least especially if you drive a new Fusion.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

How matted down was yours?  mine is bad since I got it 2 months ago.  Beed debating doing this, but not sure if it is savable given how it looks now.

Just a heads it's been years since I truly cleaned it. I was always worried to damage it. Use a white terry cloth and bolt or twist on the wheel. You can use something like this also, it's safe for Alcantara on the damp cloth. You can apply some decent pressure to it, at least i did.
It looks practically brand new. Better than the leather portions.

Basic damp cloth with warm water/soap treatment?

Pretty much, not sure if the Adams made that much of a difference. Just a mild soap should work too. Try to use a white terry cloth, it seems to work better than microfibre. It's also easier to see once you have finished pulling dirt from it.
