Yeah, the first time I read it I nearly cracked my head on the ceiling fan from jumping up and down! I thought I had won a contest!

 

Hey, no one told I got a new Sport or where I'm supposed to pick it up on Monday! (Zemzabob, you may want edit your post and put a comma (,) between "everyone" and "just" in the first sentence of your post). You got me all excited there for a minute;-).

Awesome, I love that black color on the Sport! Congrats on the new ride and have fun tomorrow. You will be playing with that touch screen all day tomorrow!

Awesome! I do hope we can gather enough interest to do this!

That sounds like a good idea to go one more winter with more heat from the sun. I prob would if I lived up there. Funny thing is I don't use my sun/moonroof shade hardly at all. Maybe I'll use it here and there during the winter for the quick heat but in the summer it just makes me feel hot and I can see my bald head better in the rearview. That damn mirror. It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.

You just had to go there huh? :chairshot:

Yeah, the whole clean car thing is what would get me. The road salts and then all the dirt that gets in the snow then becomes a nice pretty ice/snow/salt/dirt/mud mix makes me shudder a bit even thinking about it! I'm a bit OC about the washing and shiny paint. I've been known to run by the no-touch car wash three times in one day...not often but it certainly ain't exactly rare! :eek5:

I didn't realize the salt caused so much rusting and bad pitting. That's freaking crazy. I may bitch when it 95 degrees on most Summer days but at least I don't have to worry about road salt for more than one or two times a year and even then it's only on a few bridges! I feel bad for you snow belt folks!

I don't think so. There are free or cheap apps for that that you can get on your smartphone and just have it on that screen. There is even one that displays NAV data in reverse very brightly in a color you choose and you can put your phone on your dash for evening and night driving and you have a HUD! Eh! :shades:

Running late and can't stop to take an outside shot.bveen traveling on business and heading back to K.C. To meet an F-150 owner to deliver his new LED Puddle Lights. Finall I have a chance to see a cuetomer in person.

 

(NOTE: Before everyone starts piling on me, yes I know that it isn't safe to photograph and drive. So please don't hijack dsage's fun thread to scold me for doing it.)

That looks like one monster of a beer there KC. You know that's against the law right?

20" chromies off, 17" winter steelies on...ready for another Canadian winter, eh!

 

I can't even imagine going through that whole process of having to change to winter tires, etc. That's a whole other world to me since I live in the SE US.

Mine is sitting in the garage after a rough night last night. I think my Edge is still suffering hangover after throwing 4 chicks in there that I hardly know.

I appreciate the link and looked through it all but he never addresses or needs to take off the little knob that I want to remove. I just want to know if anyone has ever had reason to pull theirs off. The back of the piece has the white sound insulation right behind of it but you can still get your hand in there without having to remove the whole panel. I just can't tell from feeling around back there if its a push pin that just requires white a bit of force to remove or if it is not really meant to be removable without getting behind it and cutting a plastic backing that is much larger than the hole the thing goes through. I really don't want to have to pull off both rear panels completely in order just to remove two silly little plastic knobs!

Has anyone had any experience with these parts in the rear area of the Edge?. Specifically, I want to remove them from both sides. I used my trim removal tool with quite a bit of force to the point that I was worried that I might break some of the actual panel plastic. I don't care much if I break the actually part because I can just fill the resulting hole with a trim retainer or something. Both of these pieces are rattling like crazy when I listen to music within certain frequency ranges and it then sounds horrible. I am curious if anyone has seen the piece from the back of the panel and if it will eventually pop off with more force or if it has a larger-than-the-hole ring on the back side. I pulled my passengers side rear panel off enough to feel around behind it but I can't quite make out the configuration just by feel. Any help would be greatly appreciated! The photo of the part is attached below. I am talking about the round knob that is farther over to the right of the 12v receptacle and the seat lowering buttons. I guess those things are there for holding part of a roll out cargo cover? Not sure.

Thanks for posting this. I got a chip that looked pretty bad at first and after some quality clear coat product magic I ended up with two pin not pen tipped size chips in the paint on the front hood edge. I was wondering if Dr. Color Chip was worth owning. Thanks again!

Incidentally, what kind of Doctor is he? ob/gyn since he fills in holes? Just curious.

Well, did you do it?

I for one am happy that Dan didnt photoshop the light pictures. It's quite refreshing that he is not going that direction because in my opinion doing such really is improper or false advertising. All of us with the Phillips 8-led kits can tell anyone who would like to know that the photos we take with our own camera equipment just do not show either the true brightness or color temperature. I would just rather people know that than Dan go in and manipulate photos of his lights with software. Hopefully, people can trust me as another owner, they are freaking bright!! Dan did an excellent job putting my lights together. He's running a fantastic service for people like me who have no business messing with water color paints much less real chemicals, paints, and adhesives!

Thanks to both of you!

Chris

what color would go best with the Ingot Silver colored Sport Edge? Satin or black or even red?

I don't really know anything about the plastidip process. I was really kind of just joking. What does the process entail?

Someone should try plasti-dipping the whole damn car.

That's what I was thinking. They look like our wheels.

The black wheels look great. Are those the factory wheels repainted or are they a different wheel?

looks fantastic!

Good review, thanks!

That is just great ... you get Siri working with MFT and they'll be talking to each other and never shut up. The real problem is that Siri will tell MFT that she is having a good day and MFT will look for music by green day or possibly route you to green bay, wis ! (did you know you could say things like .... )
