  1. They get painted at different times and the paint reacts different to plastic than metal. Can be seen on almost any car
  2. Wetsanded both fenders and got them polished and coated. Im only doing a panel a day off and I have a hellcat and widebody charger coming in for paint correction and ceramic/graphene coatings so this will be last work the edge sees for a minute unless someone canclea
  3. did some wet sanding on the hood, cut it, polished it and recoated it. Turned out well. Here's some pics (FB quality) and some videos (HD). Prepping the split view Split finished Some progress completion in the sun!
  4. Id pay extra coin for some Audi Exclusive colors. Sonoma Green, legit Nardo Grey, Ara Blue, Miami Blue
  5. Seems to be a pretty long living post. Swissvax is one of the best and lives up to its price. Chemical Guys is great if you like over paying. They are actually a marketing company that slings detail supplies. I’d personally never recommend them but they are great ar capturing the market of those who dont follow detailing. Over the counter, cant go wrong with Griots Garage and their warranty on machines. By far one of the best in the industry for warranty repairs/work. As a detail supplies wholesaler, I’ve almost used everything under the sun and dont have any favorite brand. Though I do have brands I wont use. Industry is currently in a transition period. Wax is ancient technology (think model t ford) it works and people like applying it but, you can get better protection in a product that takes less than 15mins from a Legit SIO2 (ceramic) Spray sealant like CarPro reload, Gyeon cure, Gtechniq C2 v3 Liquid Crystal and various others. OTC from Megs/Mothers/Griots does not last as long. I’ll never use an actual wax on my own cars again. My Edge is coated in Ceramic and my Audi I coated in Professional Graphene (not fake Adams Ceramic Graphene, that stuff is nothing like professional grade). I could go on for days on this subject tho
  6. I use a few different from Griots Garage, Gyeon and Pearl Nano. Really depends on what customer wants
  7. believe all of us with a real BOV have a vacuum line ran to the intake manifold. did your kit not ship with anything but the BOV? mine came with vacuum lines, a T and the plug I linked
  8. Yours did not come with this piece? That plugs into the plug you unhooked? https://www.turbosmart.com/product/bov-cel-plug-ford-mustang-fiesta-ecoboost/
  9. the turbosmart makes the same sound.
  10. The vignale replica has the camera setup https://www.ebay.com/itm/401788278468
  11. yes, you can open them up and add better performing HID projectors. It's called a retrofit "headlight junkies" fb group will be a big help to you.
  12. these images are from a 2017 Edge 2.0 There's a video, but it's in my FB group. Def have to remove tire for easier access
  13. https://www.focusst.org/threads/rallysport-direct-installs-the-turbosmart-dual-port-bov-on-white-sheep.4929/
  14. The focus one works. You have to remove passenger wheel. Though its not really worth the hassle
  15. what are your expectations from an aftermarket intake? unless you are going to about $7##-$1,###. for an intake, you probably are only going to get a heat shield and filter. That's a lot of piping to make for a vehicle that does not attract aftermarket buyers
  16. Rotora makes SS lines for the edge sport. A few members have already made the jump
  17. Got that new "Oil Level Indicator" today. My old one broke off on it's own and then decided to drop beneath the valve cover in all my attempts to get it out. looks pretty good for 84,000 miles once the dipstick gets to this level, there's literally no way to get it out unless you pull the cover.. tinted the tails last week too
  18. all the "leather" in your Edge is synthetic, even the seats. any interior cleaner leather or not is fine.
  19. a member here has put lights in those 2 lil spots. you will not get a lot of usable light out of the area though.
  20. does it have a raised area on left side of tail? the cheaper trim lights have a raised area in the plastic to visibly distinguish from the more expensive models
  21. You may never change them then. The Edge community is not big into aftermarket support. So Companies dont really invest much due to lack of return. It took me over 2 years of monthly emails to get H&R to make springs for 2nd gen Edge. Eibach used to make springs for 1st gens and stopped cause nobody was buying. Steeda used to make sway bars but stopped for same reason. I doubt you will see another spring from a big name brand. Coilovers from Fusion work also. With that said. My Edge Sport has lowering springs and rear motor mount and my wife has been primary driver for most of the 2 or 3 years its been lowered. She has never complained about the ride and she thinks modding cars is stupid and a waste of money (included that to show she is not used to riding lowered vehicles)
