  1. I believe I like Edgy Girl ^_^ When I was looking at the Edges on the lot the black one just seemed to stand out from the other five in the group. I bought it. Black, Camel interior, Chrome accents... and these just arrived today!! 20" - It's gonna look AWESOME!! Plus my H&R Sport springs with approximate lowering of 1.5" rear and 1.75" front. Already tinted the front windows. I'm all excited like a kid at Christmas!! Now to score the tires I want... @ 275/45R20 I'll be taking some before and after pics and will post up a new thread. Soon!
  2. Pretty much the same here. 2007 FWD in north Georgia. Drove a Taurus for the better part of the last decade and got in all sorts of places I didn't think I could... with no problems. 20" wheels are en route atm
  3. We in my family are known for playing with words a lot. We often call this the "pirndle stick". lol. (PRNDL = pirndle.... surely some will see the humor) At any rate, I was thinking about this thread at the car wash today. I've been much amused by my new auto-light option and leave them there anymore. So beneath the bay it was dark enough to activate the lights... and I was happy to see the letters glowing nicely! :happy feet: This forum is an excellent place to be enlightened of a possible issue one may not have even thought about. Thanx all :D
  4. That looks great! Same color as mine. I love the stance! Can't wait to get mine down a little. I'll be going by the Ford dealership here by where I work today if possible and have a chat with the service manager. Hopefully he's "performance-oriented" and our chat will be a good one. Now am I correct in assuming the tires and wheels will not require any alignment as the springs will? I'm thinking of getting the springs installed first then scoring the wheels and tires afterward. If so I can put the wheels on myself after the lowering is done.
  5. Someone started a thread about this the other day - HERE
  6. Hmmmm... I do believe I don't have a bag with those in it. I sure don't recall seeing one and they definitely aren't in the cup holders. To the dealership!! :speedie:
  7. Thanks for all the input. I'm feeling pretty confident I will have little trouble with the springs. If the dealer insists on installing them then that's fine, I just won't be able to do the wheels and tires the same day as the springs. Worse things could happen I suppose ^_^ SaleenS7: As much as I'd like the 22s with more meat I have decided to split the difference between fully filling the fender wells and the hit I'd be taking in ride (as far as sidewall height go). That and the financial difference. jeffreybehr: I think those wheels look great. I was actually looking at those before I decided on this Zinik Z20 Violi model. My Edge is black with tinted windows so I think the black wheels with the shiny lip will look awesome! Smoke/tinted light covers sound interesting... hmmmm.

  9. Hello all. :D There seem to be some pretty knowledgeable folks here as well as , apparently, employees... so, my question: Will a set of H&R Sport springs affect my warranty? I know there are also a couple people here who have lowered their Edges as well. (sorry for being a relative noob here) I'm looking at about 1.5" at the rear and 1.75" for the front. H&R site HERE Featured HERE and HERE among numerous other places. From my "research" so far I have a feeling the dealer may require that they be installed there. True? I also found some information saying, as far as I can tell from a quick perusal, that unless an after market part can be definitively blamed for a failure then said part cannot be used as a basis for a denial of warranty coverage. Links HERE and HERE - credit to torch red at THIS link. I have my eye on some nice Zinik 20" wheels with 275/45R20 tires and would like to have the springs installed along with the tires and wheels. Tirerack.com can take care of mounting, balancing, installing aftermarket TPMS stuff, etc then ship directly to several different shops locally for installation. Having all that done ahead of time almost makes me want to slap them on myself but with less than 1500 miles on the car atm I think I'll have it done by the pros. That and of course the spring installation. Any and all relevant input/info would be appreciated! Thanks.
  10. Sweet! That must be why my girl wanted to get back together. :P On topic though... TiVo here. I've never even seen an Edge commercial. I never saw an Edge till I was out car shopping and pulled down an isle with 3 on each side. I was like "what's that?" Bought one a week and a half later.
  11. Scoop I haven't received it yet. My nickname has been Scooper since before I was old enough to know differently. Shortened to Scoop over the years. The "Scoop" tag is a lifelong promise to myself for my 1st NEW car :D
  12. Hi everyone. I stumbled across this forum a few days ago but just got registered (because I use gmail and had to contact the help desk folks to register) I've had my Edge for two weeks yesterday and love it more now than the day I drove it home. I got a black SEL with the panoramic roof and the "chrome-clad" wheels - Camel interior. Got my front windows tinted yesterday and had them put the windshield visor tint on. I wasn't sure about the windshield but was assured it would come off easily if I didn't like it. I do believe I like it :shades: I am currently waiting for the detail shop to deliver it back to my office. I had a package called "Clean & Seal" done. That's what they call a decontamination of the clear coat and the application of an acrylic (I believe they said) based sealant, warrantied for a year. Also leather conditioner and scotch-guard type protectant for the carpet and stuff inside. I have about 800 miles on this beauty and absolutely LOVE it! See ya in the forums.
