splork

Ten months ago I bought a Ford Edge 2011 Limited Edition at the Manheim auction in New Jersey. I couldn't be happier with my choice. Its loaded with just about every option and the white platinum tri coat looks awesome. However, after visiting this forum for the past month or so, I began to get that itch that most of you know about and this week I began my journey down the mod roads.

This week I added

1) EGR running boards ( mostly so that my 6 year old son can get in and out - at least thats how I explained the cost )

2) DRL running lights from daytimebrightlights.com

3) all new tires and rims from tirerack.com ( Platinum Sabers )

4) plasti dipped all chrome on the back of the car

I have a new front grill at the paint shop getting painted tuxedo black and clear coated. Then I plan on plasti dipping the rest of the chrome and placing the vinyl Ford emblems which I just received in the mail. They are black background with white lettering. I also have the front license plate bracket which will hold the plate below the bumper. For now, I just removed the bracket and plate entirely and plugged the holes until I am ready for the grill install.

Here are some before and after pictures. I'm only about 50% done with my planned mods but hopefully they look pretty decent.

I am looking for new headlights but can't seem to find anything for the years 2011 and up. I know the limited already has HIDs but they really suck.

Something like the ones at http://www.carid.com/2010-ford-edge-headlights/spec-d-halo-led-projector-headlights-12130978.html would be sweet. Does anyone know if they are available? I don't want to cut my headlamps and place the halos from Carid in there, seems rather cheesy.

I just removed my front license plate and need to reinstall it, where did you get the bracket you used for the lower install??

Edge looks great, I am actually about to do the same thing to my grill...

What color did you paint your grill? It looks like a satin black, clear coated?

I am trying to decide between matte black or something similar to your grill. I am trying to keep the car as classy looking at possible while pimping it out a bit, so I am leaning towards the glossier finish. I have a wife to deal with....

What were the costs for the overlays done by Glass Elephant? I am just starting to plan out my mods and Im unsure if I want to go with the ebay emblems or just use the overlays...

Great forum, full of awesome ideas and pictures.
