2015 + Ford Edge Raptor Style Grille


Beezz

Recommended Posts

Here is some pictures and details of my install of a 'raptor' grille on my 2015 Edge Sport. Click this link to go to my build log:

 

Process:

Jack up the car, remove the battery, headlight housings, and front wheels. Then start removing all the fasteners on the bottom of the bumper. Remove the fender liner fasteners. Pull the fender liners, disconnect the electrical connections on the driver side of the bumper. 5 connectors if you have the engine block heater, 4 if you don't. Remove the push pins on the intake cover. Detach the bumper by removing the 3 bolts on each side of the bumper where it meets the chassis. Remove the bolts holding the grille to the upper radiator/hood supports. Then carefully move the bumper. If you have the front view camera, you have to disconnect the washer and electrical connector before the bumper, grille, and chassis can be separated. Once you've got the bumper off the car, have fun with the clips that hold the grille onto the bumper. One clip is near a mounting tab for the wiring harness, be careful otherwise you may snap the grille at that point. There are 2 brackets screwed onto the grille that need to be transferred to the new grille

 

 

The new grille snaps right into place, you can use the handle end of pliers to push on either side of the mounting tabs until you hear them click in. You can either remove the front camera and washer completely, or re mount them. I removed the washer, and remounted the camera between the O and the R. The view is obstructed, but still usable. The harness needs to be moved so it is less visible through the grille. It needs to slot in between the grille and bumper bar. You can then wire the lights on the grille if you wish. I ran mine off an ignition switched control panel I have. See this link:


Got the grille from ebay, seller: autoparts-selection

Wow, that's distinctive, bet you get a lot of complements. :thumbsup:

Thank you! And lol only drove it for 2 hours since its been on. Got 1 thumbs up so far

 

Nice, Think I may make this purchase now and then wrap the grille and letters.

 

Wrapping the honeycomb would be pretty challenging. It comes as a metallic matte grey, mine was missing paint and was scratched so I had to repaint. Got it painted a semigloss metallic black.

 

Heres some other shots:

which vendor did you purchase from, Beez?

Got the grille from ebay, seller: autoparts-selection They even helped me out with the cost of repainting the grille, plus it only took like a week for it to arrive.

 

Here is the link to their store: http://stores.ebay.ca/autopartsselection/?_dmd=2&_nkw=Ford+Edge (note that the listings expire)

honey comb isn't hard to wrap, it's just annoying and extremely time consuming, I was referring to wrapping everything but the honeycomb and red letters. but wife used her Veto on this mod and doesn't like the grille on the Edge, she loves it on the raptor though.

That would've looked pretty nice, maybe she'll change her mind.

 

Grill looks pretty cool but I'm not sure about the black paint or wrap on the hood. What's on the hood????

Thanks, its some 3m gloss black vinyl. Used to have plastidip surrounding the perimeter of the hood

is anyone making them for Gen 1's 2013... thinking of just doing the amber lights..

Haven't seen any available

 

 

 

Figured this would be a good thread to post this on. Has anyone seen the Euro spec Vignale edition Edge? Particularly the honeycomb grille? I also really like the fog lights. Heres a pic:

 

You can get that grille on ebay too now, a few sellers have it. It looks like the clips are the same as the stock and raptor grille.

Found out no there was no adaptive cruise in the 15's after purchase, even though the sales sheets said the car would be equipped with it.

 

They seem to kind of word things funny in the packages. I thought I was getting heated and cooled seats as well as HID's with the 401a package. NOPE! just heated seats..

 

and in Texas.. we don't need that nonsense!

My brother's 2015 sport with 401A has adaptive cruise and cooled seats with HID.........

 

According to Ford's website the 401A package includes the safe and smart package which includes adaptive cruise control , lane keeping and bliss.and ventilated seats. I would imagine in Texas you don't need any extra heat roasting your nuts!

 

I don't know if its based on build date. I could ask if anyone is curious.

401A does include HID & Cooled seats. Are you sure you have the 401A package?

what i see on the ford website is that a lot of those features have an asterisk next to them. there is the standard equipment that comes with the 401a package... then there are add-ons to the 401a. if that makes sense.

 

I've got heated front seats, BLIS, cross traffic alert, adaptive steering, dimming mirror, 110 power outlet, power tilt/telescoping wheel.

 

that's about where the package ends. I do not have:

lane keep system, park assist, front camera, HID lights, rain sensing wipers, heated outboard rear seats, cooled seats.

 

My window sticker from the dealer lists 401a package... so it seems i don't have many of the add ons. which could explain the amazing price I paid for this thing!
