  1. Higher offset should sit in father on the wheelwell. Definately not hurt wheelbearings. Better for them I guess. More the wheels sticks out puts more stress on the wheel bearings. Also, I am unsure on the hub diameter of the edge vs mustang. I would assume they would fit but not sure how they would look sitting farther under the fenders. I am sure sombody will chime in that would have the answers you are looking for.
  2. I second teh SLOOOOOWWW. LOL. Welcome to the Edge world. I too left the Mercury Maruader forum. However, I love my edge and have learned many things from the great people on this forum. Again, Welcome to the forum!
  3. For those of you looking for the tint overlay, If you look at my pictures you can see that I tinted mine. I did the front and rear emblems. I used just plain vinyl decal thats tinted. You can buy it in a number of colors. I did my emblems and my headlights with it. Just make sure you use a heatgun and its a piece of cake. The front is held on by a couple nuts and the rear is just double sided taped. I did the whole emblem all the way to the underside. Not sure if thats what you were looking at doing or not but I thought I would chime in and tell ya just incase. Pics are in my gallery. Should be able to see em?? I can get more if needed also.
  4. My bad. You are correct. I dont know why I put 9011. They are 9005. I hope you didnt order the wrong high beams. I went with the 8000k kits.
  5. sport healights. - http://www.partsgeek.com/mmparts/headlight/ford/edge.html High beam - 9011 (You dont want to replace these with HID. Lose the FLASH TO PASS). I used PIAA Extreme whites. Low beam- H11 Fogs- H11 I am pretty sure on the sizes. For the low beams get the regular ballast and for the fogs go with the slim ballasts. I bought mine from a website and have had them for almost a year now and NO PROBLEMS and the prices are AWESOME!!!!! http://www.wholesalexenonhid.com/
  6. cannon, Looks like you will have to spring for the sport headlamps then. LOL. There is a thread on here I started that has the by far cheapest place to get the headlights and tails for the sports. I am cool with the mirrors, sucks but owell. My downfall with my 07 was the blindspot mirrors not being there. But..... I judt bought the actual mirrors with the blindspots from another member on here. Just waiting for them to arrive. I just have to figure out how to remove just the mirror glass. Today was the first day I drove the edge since redoing the wheels in all satin. So funny how everyone stares and breaks their necks trying to figure out what it is. I am loving it!!!
  7. never thought of the 3M film. That would be a hell of a job. Give the ol heat gun a workout. LOL
  8. WOW! The LED's look awesome! I didnt paint my grill, I bought it directly from Ford already painted for like $150. You can also buy them in straight primer too. Thanks for the compliments! I am learning from the master. LOL. Sorry about taking over your thread... I have the H&R springs on mine as well. I love them, feels more like a car. Was a PITA to install, the rears anyways.
  9. right on! interested to see how they work out. Did you ever check out the sport headlights??? They would look AMAZEING on your edge. I just opted for the tint for now until I decide to spring for them. Even the sport tails look great too. All the chrome that is in ours headlights and tails are all black in the sport ones. Also, I just refinished my 300$ 22 inch wheels and tires to all satin black. I just uploaded a picture. Not as cool as your satin edge though.
  10. i was thinking the same exact thing. LOL. I also was thinking about the tails too.
  11. I was just reading about that. I was amazed to hear it was in the clear coat. Your ride looks amazeing. Very intrieged by the flat paint. I live in Illinois, The quad cities. Its about 2.5 hours west of chicago.
  12. I have the harness but never installed it. Some say they did and some say they did not. I deactivated the light flash for when I unlock the car via key fob and I do not use the auto headlights either. no problems what so ever with the kits I got. alot of people seem to buy them from retro but I didnt wanna spend that much and I couldnt be happier with my choice.
  13. awesome. I wasnt sure if you could put a clear on and still keep the satin. so do you still wax it?? I have no idea. Still puzzled... I am a little slow today. Haha
  14. what about like the 96 cobra hood? some vents transplanted off of one of those hoods?
  15. I bought my two kits and put in the low beams and fogs. They are a smoking good deal too and work great. for the price you cant beat em. Regular ballasts for the headlights and slims for the fogs. Check out the site and you will crap when ya see the price. I have had mine almost a year. LOVE EM! www.wholesalexenonhid.com
  16. I really want the blindspot mirrors!!! where are you located?? I am in the quad cities, Illinois.
  17. Awesome!!! Mine is totally murdered too. I just scored a nice set of blk 22's with tires for 300 dollars. Tires are about 80-85% left. They have the polished lip on the right now but the clear was starting to come off so I am stripping them and going all black on them. As for the headlights..... The sports are cool but I opted to use the vynal tint on mine and it looks WAY cool. Plus I have the HID headlights in my low beam and fogs and can still see great at night! I am totally digging the satin paint. Now how well will that hold up? and what did a paint job in satin run ya? if ya dont mind me asking. Not trying to copy you. LOL, Props on a super clean looking edge. Diggin it!!!! PS. Look at my picture gallery, I have a shot of mine with the tinted headlights in there. I will update some pics soon. Wanna trade? LOLkiddin
  18. I was told they are 13-16%. I did my two fronts at 30% and its perfect for me. I think you can see the difference in my pics in my gallery but I never really looked.
  19. read this... http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/4696-hr-spring-install-questions/page__p__37080__fromsearch__1#entry37080
  20. i dropped mine with the H&R springs and absolutely love it. I did it myself in the driveway. I think I did a write up on what to do to change the front and rear. It handles so much better. Feels more like a car now. I wouldnt change it back. The ride is still very good too. I never did an alignment yet and all is good so far. I plan on doing it in the near future though. Good luck.
  21. No problem Edgedog! Glad I could help ya out. Looks GREAT!!!
