What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, long time listener, first time poster. ;)

 

I know it's been awhile, we have been busy.

 

In the middle of the summer, my A/C started showing signs of stress. The passenger side would blast cold air but the driver's side would pump out warm/hot air. In 100 degree weather, this was killing me! Sometimes on long trips the driver's side would cool down a bit but not a lot. So we scheduled a time to take it into a Ford Garage in Seoul for repairs. Thank goodness I got the extended warranty! Turns out they needed to replace the air compressor. They ordered the part form the States and it got here 2 weeks later. We went back and after 3 hours we are back to freezing our butts off in the cabin. Just cost us $50 in admin fees.

Dropped my 2012 off at the dealer Friday evening for some CPO warranty work and a free oil change.

 

Just bought the car up back in April of this year. One of the things that had to be fixed was the infamous "Driver Door Ajar" issue. It was fixed, but popped back up a few weeks ago. Also had to have the overhead console sun glass compartment looked at. First day we had the Edge, wife pushed a little to hard on it when closing it.

 

Suppose to be ready for pick up today.

Got a puncture (screw), thankfully air leak was slow & I didn't have to use the spare. While repairing it, had all wheels balanced (road force), and I found some interesting (not good) things!!

Well...... this took longer than one day for me but I finished today lol. I wasn't happy with my rear end ... err ...my Edge's rear end to be more specific. Over the last few weeks here are the changes I made:

 

1. Put a new "Ford" emblem on the rear

2, Swapped out the tails for LED tails

3. Replaced the stock tips with a set of flat black powder coated tips

4. Sanded and repainted the aftermarket trailer hitch and wiring drop

5. Put a flat black hinged hitch cover on so when I need to use the hitch the cover just flips up so the receiver can go in easily

6. Debadged the rear ex for the "Ford" emblem - I tend to like "the clean look" on my vehicles

 

I've attached the "before" and "after" pictures. I'm glad I got this finished today as it's getting a little chilly here to paint outside lol.

Where did you get the powder coated tips from? I'm interested in the swap as well.
