My BAMR bug guard became the burial ground of far too many insects on my trip to the Outer Banks.

:rip:

Does anyone have any good suggestions for cleaning off the material?

Did anyone install this bumper protector on a carbon or black Edge? I'm curious to see how it looks on the darker models?

My Edge is the best birthday gift I've ever bought myself. One month today in fact. Hope she treats you as well as mine!

Up to 38 owners. Initial results next month, but probably with an asterisk for insufficient sample size. More participants would certainly help.

Vehicle reliability research

Bought the car near the end of June and have put 2000 miles on the car already.

:stats: Signed up today, I think you'll get a pretty good gauge of reliability with how much I love to drive this car!

Hello to all Edge fans!

 

I was surprised to see that there is only 1 alloy (me!) Edge in the survey. It seems to be the popular colour here in Vic.

 

I added custom stripes on the doors to imitate the grille lines - silver metallic, really shows up at nite.

 

This forum is great - good to see and read everyone's posts.

 

Thanks,

Doug

That striping job looks slick Doug. I have the Carbon SEL+ too and I can't stop looking at her.

What do custom stripes like that cost?

So my introduction to the Edge came at the Washington Auto Show in DC and I fell in love with this car. When the big 25 approached last week, I said forget renting cars, I'm going to buy the car I've been ogling for nearly 6 months. I passed on the Mazda CX7 and closed a GREAT deal on a FWD Carbon Metallic SEL Plus, Med Light Stone with Vista Roof, Rear Sensor... everything but the Tow Package, Cargo System and Nav System.

The best part was the complete surprise on my girlfriend's face when she expected me to pick her up in my little Black 2000 Jetta GLS. The double-takes and remarks I received from family, friends and coworkers on Wednesday were priceless, but none of that was nearly as enjoying as the trip I took down to the beach the next night for a long beach weekend at the Outer Banks. One week (and 800+ miles) later I'm more than satisfied with my purchase. I wake up excited to sit in DC traffic.

The Edge is nothing like the family Ford cars I worked on with my dad growing up. This one has bite. And it's making 25 easy to swallow :shades:
