I've searched this forum trying to find info on making my SEL have the Sport Body. Thought it would be helpful to have it all in one place. I also have some open questions that i need help with.
1. Tuxedo Black Grill Inserts: There are 3 popular options
a. Buy the OEM Ford Edge Sport primered grill inserts and paint them ($200-$300 cost painted)
Part# BT4Z-8200-AA

b. You can PlastiDip your chrome inserts for under $10
c. You can Vinyl wrap chrome grill inserts with: 3M GLOSS Black Metallic G212 Scotchprint Car Wrap Vinyl Film 1080 Series (around $50)
2. Front Sport Lip :
Part# BT4Z-17D957-CPTM
http://www.levittownfordsupercenter.com/ford-edge-sport-front-spoiler-p-1104.html
Cost is about $200 for the lip, then $100-$150 for a shop to paint it. small and easy part, I would just paint it myself for under $50.
3. Rear Bumper:
The SEL and Sport both have the SAME top half of the bumper. But, the lower valance is different. I think i found the Part#, can anyone help me confirm this?
Part# BT4Z17K835DPTM
4. Side Rocker Panels:
Side Rocker Panels: There are two parts. First is the plastic attached to the door. I believe this is the SAME on the SEL and Sport, except the Sport has the plastic Painted.
Next, there is the Rocker Panels (Side Skirts). I think i found the Part# for the Sport's Rocker Panels (Side Skirts). Can anyone help me confirm this?
Part# BT4Z78101A04APTM & BT4Z78101A05APTM
Saving Money:
If you want a shop to paint these and save on the cost, (1) do them all at the same time, (2) Remove the parts and bring them to the shop. Removal take a while and it will cut down on the shops cost a good amount.
If anyone notices any incorrect info, please let me know so I can correct it.
I'll be postings pics as I go through the above
Thanks!
