Yes on the screws. I found a thread here previously that went over the steps. Sounds super easy, so long I don't mess up by unscrewing all the way out and dropping the screws inside the door. I don't see an ordering option that says "catalyzed" spray can. Is that the "ready to spray" can? It looks like this choice requires a spray gun. EDIT: I think I misunderstood. The clearcoat is separate from the paint I see... so it looks like that should be this product that you are referring to: http://www.automotivetouchup.com/spray-paint/spraymax-2k-clearcoat.aspx

Oh definitely, but I was thinking some chrome would add a nice "pop" to the look. I just can't find a set of OEMs for under $250. My neighbor works with vinyl for his sign business and he's insisting on making wraps for the handles, and for a side-view mirror that is the wrong color (I noticed it almost by accident... it's a deep burgundy on one side when it should be black to match the paint and you can't tell on a casual glance). I may do that and see how it looks. I'm also looking into getting the handles off a junker from a salvage yard.

Roger that. The more I drive it, the less I think I need a performance boost. Driving it around today, it felt a lot more responsive than my initial impressions driving it this past weekend when I picked it up. I could simply be getting adjusted to it; it to me; or maybe the previous owner was using some cheap gunky gas and I've gotten it out of the system (500+ mile drive from where I picked it up). Side note: I just discovered today that one of the side mirrors has the wrong color cover on it.... it should be black to match the car, but it's actually a deep burgundy. It's so close that you wouldn't notice it on a casual look over. I did a double-take when I did notice it and kept walking back and forth between sides trying to figure out if it was my imagination. Nope.... neighbor confirmed it when I asked him to look at them without me prompting him on what I thought. Feh.

Howdy all. I have a 2010 Ford Edge Sport that I just recently acquired. Among the handful of things I'm looking to do is replace the existing outside door handles. The existing ones are black and the paint is worn off on all of them, worse on the driver's door. I'm looking at getting chrome replacement handles (not covers). I've got the correct part numbers that I need for the OEM ones from Ford, but Dorman makes some replacement chrome handles that cost less than half. I've had mixed experiences with aftermarket parts, so I was wondering if anyone has tried these in particular, or has any other advice. Mucho appreciated.

Thanks for the input. It seems everything I read on here regarding cat-backs was about changing the sound and not much of anything about performance, so that would explain that. I wouldn't mind a "little" bit more sound so maybe I will consider a muffler swap-out. It seems Magnaflow is the way to go without having the sound being too high pitched, from what I can gather. As for the octane tuning, I haven't done that before and it's been a long time since I last read about it. Does that still involve swapping out a computer module in the engine compartment, or is it all adjusted with a tuning computer now? Any quick tips on this? I'll do a forum search on it when I get a chance later. Thanks.

Howdy all. New (to me!) Edge owner and forum member. I was going to post a new thread, but it's relevant enough here. I have a 2010 Edge Sport, just picked up this weekend, and though I'm still getting used to it, I feel it could use a little performance boost. I've read a few discussions here about cat-back exhaust systems and I have used one myself... I used to have a 2000 Explorer Sport with a Borla cat-back that I had installed, and it made a tremendous difference in performance. My only beef with that was an uncomfortably-high pitch at a certain RPM range (I forget what, but it's at the high end before the next gear would kick it). It was suggested to me back then that it may not have been installed properly, which is possible (long story, but the shop that installed it did a sloppy job). That said, I'm hesitant to do a full cat-back partly due to the cost, but also because I don't want to risk having a similar problem with high pitch like before. So I'm considering a simple performance muffler swap-out. I don't expect I'd see the equivalent performance boost to a full cat-back, but that's OK. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with that route? Thanks.
