Scorpio Report post Posted April 30, 2012 Looks good, congrats on the new ride! Re the whole matte exterior thing, it's been a fad for a few years and is just overplayed by now IMO, I'd pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear what you're saying, thanks for the input. It's pretty rare where I am. Don't see it very often. One thing I am going to do is get black emblem overlays, and remove the "EDGE" and "SEL" badges, for a more clean look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timf Report post Posted April 30, 2012 The SEL Appearance Package looks slick. I wish they offered something like that with the Limited options as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dingo Report post Posted May 1, 2012 If you're insistent on matte black, use Scotchprint 1080 film to do it instead of a total repaint on a brand new car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1duFos Report post Posted May 1, 2012 Congrats on your Edge, don't like the wheels, I am more of a chrome guy, your wheels draws me away from the total look of the car, but thats just me, as for the matte black, the Edge is not a resto rod, custom hot rod, rat rod etc. that you might see a vintage car shows, Barrette Jackson.... would not add any appeal to the over all look.

ravishingrocket Report post Posted May 1, 2013 Why does the stereo/hvac controls look different than other pics ive seen? Also, the instrument cluster looks like the one from the sport trim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeDevil79 Report post Posted May 2, 2013 Keep it as it is in my opinion, you got a fairly unique color and spec, don't ruin it with paint or vinyl (at least not yet!) As said above, the app pack has body color grille for a reason, to change it defeats the point Make it your own with other mods Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
