  1. SHort answer is no. The switches are different, the window motors are different and the additional wiring is probably not in the vehicles harness and the SJB may have to be reprogrammed but I think this would be for remote usage only

     

    How do they get this function to work with some security systems? Is there a module to install that overrides the controls for just the remote, or does it work for the switches inside as well? Here's an example.

     

    Just trying to brainstorm here. I didn't know if anyone had any other ideas...

  2. Is there a way to change the driver's side window controls so that they are automatic switches for both driver AND passenger?

     

    I had a mustang previous to this and the switches look the same. I miss being able to one-touch control the passenger side window. My muscle memory is still managing to roll up the drivers side and the passenger comes up about an inch before I let go and then think, "I need to ask about this on the Edge Forums!"

     

    SO, is it as easy as ordering a double-switch like in the mustang and swapping it out, or are there other "controls" that I need to work around besides just the switch? Just to be clear, I don't care about the rear windows, I just want my passenger auto switch...

  3. As the title says, if you have a stock grill kicking around and want to unload it for a reasonable price please let me know. I am looking to hack it up pretty good so I really dont want to spend a ton. Let me know what you have.

     

    I've got a "chrome" one laying around that I'd be glad to get rid of. I bought my painted one for $200, I would let this go for half that. Let me know if you're interested.

  4. I need to take the bumper cover off in order to install a transmission cooler. Any one remove the bumper cover before? How long does it take? TIA!

     

    It's not bad once you figure out what to remove. Takes about 15 minutes once you get started. 3 bolts in each fender well, A couple bolts and 4 scrivets under the hood, then a few pressure clips and small bolts under the cover. I know mine actually had a couple more holding the cover to the splash guard as well. Once all is unscrewed, pull out at the corners near the headlights/fender and it starts coming right off... Taking the cover off was easy compared to replacing the grill.

  5. Way cheezy to mask off your car and spray paint something. I dyed mine black, buffed them, sprayed them. No chipping, all black all the way through. ;)

     

    What did you use to dye them? I was planning on removing, scuffing the chrome plastic and spraying as well, but was concerned about chipping. Can you shed some light on your process?

  6. congrts, did you pick it up yet?

     

    Picked up, de-advertised, appointment made for tinting, front grille ready for install, ipod synced, and lovin' it! Pics are coming soon. Now I just have to research how to get the fog bezels out so they can be "blacked", borrow the wife's iron so I can un-airbag the visors, and find out how to get to the second sync usb slot so I can run an extra cable... good thing spring break starts tomorrow! Thanks.

  7. Saw this link for a Valley "Stealth" Hitch, and I like the idea. Can't seem to find one that fits the Edge though. For what I would use a hitch for - bike rack, tow box, etc.- I think it would be just fine. No heavy towing, but I love the idea that it wouldn't be seen except for when I need to use it. Any ideas? Is this something that could be made/modified from another hitch?

  8. Tasca has the best prices on the lights I wanted. oredered the head/tail lights. Thanks NBAworm, you should change your name to Geico cause you just saved me a sh-tload of money. Thank you!

     

    But I also cost you a lot of money... heads and tails, even at Tasca prices are +$500, whereas if you had to pay what the dealers want you wouldn't even pull the trigger... I want the tails cause you can tell the most immediate difference with them, even my wife pointed out the stock ones are "too bright" chrome. I want the heads just from the standpoint of legality. I can always stand behind it being a Ford part, not some tint of questionable liability from ebay in case there was ever an accident. I'll save my law breaking for the 20% tint and my lead foot!
