old thread but they were sold before i could get there to buy them... but... i found some other ones... here is what i gathered as the info on the wheels

Rim Structure: One Piece Rim Width: 8

Offset: 39 Number of Bolts: 5

Rim Diameter: 20

im not 100 percent sure if these will work.. if the offset is incorrect is it safe for me to get some small spacers?

from what i have gathered the offset on the OEM wheel sis 45. if i go with a 39 off set does that just mean that they will stick out a lil bit more?

im running the oem 17" tire and i usually get around 21-24mpg mixed driving... i had been contemplating going with a larger tire like a 20 or 22 but when i heard that my MPG will be going down i decided not too... dont get me wrong they look bad ass but not sure if its worth the decrease in MPG....

It must have not provided any pep or improvement in mpg. Most of the air intake kits I have been exposed to, only make more noise under kick it acceleration.

I would give it a chance, but if mom has spoken??

honestly i couldnt tell a hp increase on just the intake because i also installed a custom tune with my X3 at the same time... the intake gives out a lil droan under load at about 1800 rpm.... it sounds really good when i have my foot into it but... wife said it has to go so it has to go lol... just means ill be able to buy something else now

If it fits a 2011 3.5L I will buy it from you! Do you know off-hand if it does fit?

im not sure if it will fit a 2011 3.5L... the part number is77-2574ks

wife didnt like the extra noise the intake made so im pulling it off and selling it.... lame sauce

Hey guys i bought a full K&N intake for my 2010 edge but the wife doesn't like the added noise... so it has to go.... has about 400 miles on it... asking for 200 shipped (anywhere in the lower 48 states)

ill get some pictures of it later today

Heres the thing, changing to the Sport lights won't really do much for the looks becasue you still ahve all that headlight reflector. Painting the reflectors, if one could do a good job, would look ok as long as you never drive at night as you wouldn't have hardly anylight output. Now if you wanted to get trick you would have to do a projector retrofit that way you would have the dark lights that you are looking for and also have light output but seriously you picked the wrong color vehicle to "murder out". Your would look sharp with tinted windows, lowered and some nice polished or chrome 20's on it adn get rid of the web address you have stenciled on the side

to each their own... i actually like the two tone effect. most of my trucks are all white with everything else black and it looks good. The edge is silver and i like the two tone with all the chrome black but thats just me....

i have a shop out here that charges 150 a headlight to pull them apart and paint the interior any color i want.... or i can buy OEM headlights for about 180 each...

super easy.. took me a whole 20 min to install them and mount the ballast... the kits should just be plug and play depending on where you buy them

Really fast clicking at low volume? Probably the fuel injectors. If so, it's normal.

yah really fast clicking... took it to a buddy of mine that is a ford mechanic and he said it was normal too...

thanks for the tip

Ok guys i installed a K&N intake on my 2010 edge and now i have a ticking noise.... im not sure if i had it before the install because i never had the hood open with the engine on...

i cant hear the ticking noise from inside the car while driving but i can def hear it with the hood open...

do you think this will go away or hurt the engine?

i also have a SCT X3 with custom tunes for 91 octane installed

Hey guys i started blacking out all the chrome on my Edge... next to go on are Sport headlights and taillights...

let me know what you think

ok took me most of the day but i got all 4 wheels done and the graphics i wanted on the car.... let me know what you think

I think it looks great. How many coats is that?

 

More coats will smooth out the finish.

thats about 4 coats... almost a full can... i would say 50% of it is smooth but there are a few sports that got rough... almost like if the can nozzle got clogged....

How hard is it to remove the headlight?

you have to bake them to be able to pull it apart... then clean off all the glue so you can re attach them.. plus you would still need to prep and paint the inside of them... from start to finish its about 4 hours per light...

Couldn't you open the stock headlight up and plasti dip the inside? At the same time remove the reflector.

yes.... i have done it before but man what a PITA it is to do.. were talking about around a 8 hour process for 2 headlights...

its not worth it to me to have to do some again.. i havent heard of this aftermarket company in the link before so im not sure how good of a quality they are...

Has anyone heard of this company http://www.carpartsshed.com/Catalog/Default.aspx?Make=Ford&Model=Edge&YearID=2010&Part=Headlight&sModel=SE&engine=6+Cyl+3.5L

i blacked out my grill and now it doesnt look right with the chrome headlights... was thinking of picking these up... price for the tailigights and headlights is 700 shipped to my door...

what do you guys think?

so i went and bought some to do my grill and wheels... im not 100% satisfied with the finish... i have only done my grill so far to test it out and i thought it would come out smoother... it has a grainy look to it.

not sure if it was me that made it look this way but i have painted many grills and cars before but with actual paint....

before

after

looks real good.. how is it holding up?

im reallly thinking of doing this to my wheels... i was going to get some nice black 20's but just found out i have another kid on the way so that went out the door...

my only worry is that it will start peeling off after have the car washed...

they almost look like the ones im thinking of getting : http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?v=017803|2010&pc=23291&wd=20&rw=8.5

im shocked that you cant monitor trans temp...

Was wondering if anyone was using one? and if so what size you got...

i just had a hitch installed and im looking to get one for camping trips...

i saw this:http://www.amazon.com/Valley-90590-Deluxe-Hitch-Basket/dp/B0002ZY23E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311655340&sr=8-1

The TSX works perfectly fine on the Edge but there are a few things to consider:

 

-All of our devices (X3, Livewire) will also monitor the vehicle in real time. The only difference is the screen and not having a cable with the TSX.

-The screen portion of the TSX uses a battery that will need to be recharged so if you do mount it, keep that in mind. We do include a usb charger that could be hard wired.

do you know what can be viewed through the TSX.. debating on that or the edge CTS...

I know most of the people that are tuning their Edge are using a SCT X3 or SF3... now i was wondering if anyone has used the TSX and if so how do they like it?

i have always liked being able to read all my temperatures in real time... thats why im thinking of getting one but hate having to suction cup it to the windshield...

so im thinking of making a custom en-closer that would fit in that small section right above the radio on the dash... i never use it and i feel it would look pretty good there ....

what do you guys think?s
