  1. Cut a hole in bottom of door and remove rear wheel. Car will not be drivable tho
  2. Slowly started taking apart the front end to reveal how much/lil damage was behind the bumper. Insurance quoted $6,500. In damage and appraised my 2015 Edge Sport with 144,000 miles at $14,800. Was gonna upgrade things, but I already have a fun car in the garage so looks like it will just be oem replacements and keep her good as a daily
  3. Changed the oil. 142,000 miles with 132,000 of that on a unleashed tune. Still handling her daily duties well!
  4. I drove it for the first time in months to Charlotte. Front suspension is shot. Time for BC coilovers.
  5. To be fair, Colin only has one turbo on his I6 B58 motor
  6. Even did wiper delete on my RSX the first day I got it and my old Dodge Magnum. All these been through tropical storms/winter storms. Though almost all my vehicles have 5% tint on rear glass so I really don’t rely on the rear glass much
  7. Yes, its actually on the first set of H&Rs released to the public for the Edge
  8. I plugged it, I also dont use the washer fluid. In my 7 years I’ve never added washer fluid to the car. The dealer has prob topped it off but it has not been to one in 4 years. The rear glass is still perfectly functional. I’ve never had any visibility issues looking in my rear view and not being able to see. Does look good tho
  9. Took this pic the other day following the wife. Just a clean look and I’ve never had a need for the rear wiper. Tropic rain storms in Hawaii to snow storms in Pennsylvania I have never not been able to see out the rear and now the snow cant pile up on the wiper, it just falls off the rear now with the defrost
  10. Thanks for the tag @onyxbfly I plugged it, as I have every car that I have owned with a rear wiper. I didn’t want to play with buying the wrong plug so I went DIY with some plexiglass. Removed wiper, glued and sealed a square piece of glass with some sealant on the inside. Cut another piece the size of hole. Filled it again and then stuck a quarter in it for fun. Then put a piece of vinyl over that. here’s a video where you can see it
  11. Maybe they installed your springs upside down? I dont even know if thats a thing. I think its impossible to mix front/rear
  12. Have you got an alignment to put the rear crossmember back in place?
  13. I think something is wrong with your install. These characteristics are not what 99% of the lowered Edges have experienced.
  14. 116,000 on my 15 Sport. 111,000 tuned miles also.
  15. Pressure washer is not “required” but most people use them now cause Foam looks cool. I’ve been foaming my cars for what seems like a decade but these last 6 months, I’ve pulled the pressure washer out less and less, unless its a clients car. If getting a pressure washer just for washing a car. I’d stick to electric. And stay away from the 0degree tip.
  16. Vivid+ dark tint. Its an air release dry application. Due to curve of taillight it’s not recommended as a first time install, unless you buy enough for 3 sets of lights and understand that you are learning as you go
  17. Returning to stock makes it not married to your Edge anymore and allows the buyer to use the device but the tunes stored on device are useless as they are for your specific vehicle. The buyer would still need to buy tunes from Torrie or any other tuner that uses the X4
  18. FYI, tunes can’t be used by buyer.
  19. Unfortunately without doing a complete retrofit, a halogen is going to give you the most usable light. There’s options to change color via HID/LED but you are going to lose tons of “usable” light and gain a ton of foreground light that is unusable but will appear brighter due to hitting the ground directly in front of vehicle and reflecting back.
  20. 113,000 miles and still no oil pan gasket leak. Still by far the easiest oil change in my life.
