Thanks for posting the parts. The Ford Dealer told me that they weren't compatible. ?? So I went to the lot, looked at both the Eco and non Eco side by side, and noticed the front molding is what's different. So after I 'educated' the dealership that it would work, I ordered two moldings. One of them came in. Which was a blessing because I can compare.
A lot of non-enthusiasts will probably never notice. I noticed that glaring horrible lack of side skirt issue pretty much right from the start. The stock skirts are the main weak point visually on the vehicle. I can't believe the stock skirts were ever made, but almost half a million people bought an Edge so what do I know?
Anyways, only one molding came in, so I could only install one skirt. So one side I have the old, one the new. And I have the pleasure of walking the vehicle and looking at the difference. And let me tell ya, there's a difference. A huge difference. I'd do the skirts before aftermarket wheels. Actually, I think the skirts make the vehicle look so much better I'm keeping my stock painted aluminum 18's (best wheels available for several reasons). The skirts make the car. Otherwise the side profile is just flat and short. Nothing stands out. With the skirt, the side is a good 4" thicker, and you have a nice 'character line' at the bottom.
I had the dealer install the skirts, but when I looked at both, they do not use 3m tape. Just standard install for a skirt.
This made a huge difference, and worth every penny. For once, it seems like I'm one of the mod pioneers....... for the 'Ford Edge SEL side skirt mod'.
