  1. Nice. Let us know how long it lasts. I can always get my daughter's old Civic lenses clean, but keeping them that way is the challenge. I've used, PlastX, toothpaste, Ultimate Compound, etc. All of them work to make them "clear".
  2. There's not much for the 2.0. There's a few drop-in filters, and that's about it. You could do custom exhaust, but 4-bangers just do not sound great. I once had a Magnaflow on a 2.0 Neon, and it wasn't too bad. Check out some videos of Mavericks, Fusions, and similar vehicles with aftermarket exhausts on the 2.0 EB.
  3. I would assume it would be close to tuned Edge Sports. I don't think too many are tuning Lincolns. I'd leave it stock until the warranty is out. They run good from the factory. I had one as a loaner once.
  4. Thanks for the detailed vid mjenne6. Holy cow -- that's way involved to install a catch can. This is a 3 min install on a Hemi Ram. Thinking I'll skip this mod...
  5. 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. We bought it new, and it now has 42k miles. It's great in the snow -- especially with severe snow-rated tires. It's a great vehicle. The Edge rides nicer, is more quiet, and has more interior cargo and passenger space (although the Edge looks smaller). We've had 0 issues with the Jeep. It's highway MPGs aren't any better than my previous Hemi Ram (rwd). The wife gets around 19 mpg mixed-city driving.
  6. '92 Mustang LX Hatchback (2.3L) '97 Explorer Sport '98 Explorer XLT '97 F150 XL Flareside '00 Explorer XLS '04 Freestar S '07 Mercury Mariner FWD '07 Fusion SE '08 Mercury Mariner AWD '08 Sport Trac V8 '10 Focus SES '10 Lincon MKZ AWD Ultimate '14 Edge SEL FWD '15 Lincoln MKC FWD Reserve '17 Fusion SE AWD '21 Edge SE AWD (current)
  7. I'm back with a new '21 SE AWD in Lithium Grey. I had a '14 SEL FWD when I was previously on here. I traded an '18 Ram 1500 for the Edge. I really like it thus far. I've had the 2.0 EB in an MKC and Fusion. It pairs better with the 8-speed. I'm amazed at all the standard features of the '21 -- especially the 12" center stack. My '14 SEL didn't even have a back-up camera. I've already browsed through a lot of the newer posts. I've had my Edge 10 days, and added 20% ceramic tint and floor liners. Today I picked up the Ford hood deflector and cargo liner with the Ford Pass points. I've had a Maverick on order since 12/17. It still isn't scheduled for build, so it will be months and months yet (or turn into a 2023 model). I saw the Edge at a local dealer, and decided to go a different route.
  8. Welcome! Love the Sports.
  9. Like others have said, I would purchase the factory accessory grill inserts, and have them painted. It would last much longer than painting the chrome. Looks great MsolraC13. Do you recall how much it was to paint them? I've had 2 quotes, and they both seem pretty high. They are $235-277. That's with me walking in with the inserts, and walking out with them (installing myself).
  10. If you aren't ever planning on an amp, look for mid-level, mainstream brands, that have a high sensitivity.
  11. I have the same AEM that mac has. It was a somewhat of a tight fit, but it's supposed to be. I didn't have too struggle much.
  12. Way too big for the Hunda, and I'd hate to feel the affect of the 100# at each corner for braking and acceleration on that.
  13. It's a 10" (ID10). I'm very pleased with the sound. It was a major pain to cut all the angles, etc. I'm still a little paranoid with attempting fiberglass. I'm not too positive on the volume. I didn't measure when it was finished. I'm guessing it's around .5-.7 cuft -- which is just right for this sub. I'm pushing it with an Arc Audio Class D (3-ch). Here's where the amp & LOC sit: Your box looks great.
  14. Sorry for the late response. Attached are a few pics. It was my first attempt at kerf cuts. I only painted what is visible. I'm pleased with the end result (sound-wise). (sorry if these are too large):
  15. Great job. I made one of MDF, and it wasn't fun.
  16. Peel&Seal is worthless. First apply a good dampener (Sounddeadenershowdown tiles, Kno Knoise, etc). That will cure the metal resonance. For rattles, apply a closed-cell foam on top of the dampener. I have a custom 10" in my rear panel, and have no rattles.
  17. You shouldn't need a code. Batteries die every day, and have to be replaced. Some newer Chryslers will ask for one, but they will be fune once the vehicle is started.
  18. Great deal. I would have loved this a few months ago. I made my own, and it was not fun. There's lots of odd angles back there. Good luck with sale.
  19. Ouch. Depending on your deductible, it may have paid to go through insurance. I bet you have a lot cushier ride now, but your handling diminshed quite a bit. You're fine on the tire size.
  20. I was going to use that as well, but I would have had to pull the battery to snip it. Also, my 4ga Knu cable was quite thick (large jacket). In hindsight, I should have just pulled the battery.
  21. OEM radiosdo not have a sub out -- unless it already came with a sub from the factory. Any sub addition will require an amp & possibly LOC.
  22. It's not easy. It was the worst ever for me. It took me about 2 hrs. About the only location to get it through, is by the OE harness -- where all the other wiring goes through. I alaways paranoid of cutting here, because I'm afraid I'll cut some OE wires. I started small, and couldn't get it through. I finally got brave, and used a larger serrated knife, and of course always have the blade facing away from all wiring. I then taped my 4ga Knu cable to a stiff hanger, and fished it through. There's not much space in the engine compartment to grab it. I thought I might have to pull the battery, but I managed. My cable was real flexible, which made it more difficult. Good luck. Someone said there's a spot on the passengers side, but I didn't want to run my cable across the engine, inside the bay.
