They look good! I'm not a fan of the five-spokes on our cars, but you pulled it off.

Is there anyway to get my hands on the parts to make my SEL have the Sport's body kit?
-
Ahhh. Thanks. I just assumed it was paint since it was the same color. I knew the black and off-colored things were impurities, but wasn't sure about the blue.
-
Dang... if it is, I get exactly what you're getting without pulling anything on long trips with no AC. Oh the life of a 2nd gen owner.

The transition from the Iron-X coat to the Mothers clay kit was amazing. It was a somewhat rough feeling with a slight haze to a smooth, crystal shine. Something I did notice about to clay, which I didn't know if it was normal or not, is that it began picking up the color of my car.
Then I began to apply the turtle wax. Went on well, came off easy. I'm really pleased with the results.
...oh, and then look what I had never picked up on before. Apparently, the previous owner never pointed it out to the dealer, but the factory missed some clear coat!
I hope to apply the Dr. ColorChip a little later today, and I'll do the paint defender a little later in the week.

I have Turtle Wax, and after I apply that, I'll be putting Dr. ColorChip on, then 3M's paint defender on the front bumper and the hood. I also have Plasti-Dip Glossifier to put on other segments that won't get covered by the paint defender. If I could do it over again, I'd just do a gallon of glossifier.

I'm twenty minutes east of Columbus. Saw the 7-day forecast with 0% chance of rain all week and decided I needed to get this done before that changed.

This will be the first time I have waxed any vehicle. I have the car for a year and I figured it needed to be done. Stopped by the local Advanced Auto Parts, along with a couple things from Amazon, I got to work this morning.
Started it with a wash using Dawn.
Dried it with a Shammy, sprayed on some Iron-X. Man, that shit smells. The picture is post-wiping.
And after rinsing off the Iron-X and wiping down the water spots after the air and a second Shammy dried the water for me.
I'll be continuing the detail later. Up next: Clay, Wax, and some window cleaner.

And the wishlist only continues to grow...

She's a beaut. Quite aggressive looking, I might add.

Yeah. You can find him on fb and instagram through the company: Dynamikillu51ons

Quiet, yes. Unresponsive, no. In comparison to other forums I've been on, this forum has the least amount of bullshit and stupidity. lol Hope you find what you're looking for in an Edge!

I've fit four. Like stated, the clubs have to be angled (corner to corner), but they fit.
-
I open it every nice day but usually close it before I leave the car since it'd be so easy to climb up and slip in the car that way. lol Why not just wait til it stops and then diagnose the issue. Degrease, re-grease, and if that doesn't work, talk to Ford.

My BAMR closes relatively easily, just slow the last few inches, and chugs during the winter. It hasn't failed yet, though, so I'm not worried about it.

I really like the all black roof. It flows pretty well, it seems. Might be doing that to mine.

Going to smoke the headlights?

35W 5000k
Visible light output is probably 4-5 car lengths straight out and 2 lanes on either side of the car.

Mine is the 35W retro-solutions' kit here. Although, I'm not sure a few of the members would like me recommending it. You can also get the 55W kit. When you decide, you'll choose the temperature, bulb type, and vehicle, and you're all set. Morimoto should be similar as I'm only slightly familiar with that website. The 3Five is a 35 watt kit, and you would probably want bixenon HIDs. Choose bulb type and harness type of your choice and you're set. I didn't consider DDM, though.
-
Oh, I highly recommend DTBLs. Best LED kits on the market. Most HIDs I've seen around here are DDM Tuning or Morimoto. I have Retro-Solutions, but they, for some reason, aren't on the forum anymore and a few (or more) have a big grudge against them. I haven't had problems with my kit, though.

FWIW, I definitely notice a big change in my gas mileage the more I get on the throttle from stoplights and over hills.
-
Oh wow. That actually looks a lot better than I expected!
Lowered Edge? How's ride quality after?

I don't have mine lowered, but I'm pretty sure most would say they are satisfied. Ride quality is a little harsher and stiffer as well as providing a much better visual appeal.
