rocketace1 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) There is a mod going on my car this week which is easily something I am most excited about of all the mods added to date. It should arrive Monday and get put on immediately... So what is it?.... check back here in a day or two.

rocketace1 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Here is the new addition - a "FORD EDGE" hood ornament. Saw one online and thought it gave the front a slight "edgy" look, and could fill in the blank space at the front of the swoopy hood. Afterall, Ford thought it nice to include the hood badge on the Explorer Sport, so why not have one for the Edge Sport, right? Ford even has it on the FLEX, go figure!!! The hood badge makes the car stand out a wee bit more... IMO. Love it. BTW, it came in chrome, so I plasti-dipped itto match the blacked out front on the Edge. Seeing it in picture made me realize the alignment of the EDGE portion needs a bit of work. Will get to it later tonight... So what do you guys think? Does anyone have this on theirs? I haven't seen one here yet, but then I haven't looked hard enough. Edited August 18, 2014 by rocketace1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Not too enamored with it, would leave it to the Land Rovers. If anything, I would have it paint-matched to the hood so it doesn't stand out quite so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it cos it adds more xter to the car and that's always good. The Explorer has it, the FLEX has it, RR has it, even Jeep has it... Quite a few really nice vehicles have it and it looks great on these cars. Maybe I tone down the color a tad...But I am keeping mine. Gives the car a spunkier look when compared to factory... see for yourself... http:// http:// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketace1 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 looks good, but... man... letters alignment! I know... I tried 2x but just can't seem to line the "EDGE" part correctly. Will give it one more shot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketace1 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Final LED upgrade done tonight... the puddle lights. This completes all the external and internal lighting project. Not sure what the next mod will be, but lots of time to ponder on this... http:// 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketace1 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Although not a fan of chrome, I took off the plasti-dip on the hood emblem and, guess what, the chrome is actually not bad at all, surprisingly still has a good contrast with the white color... Now gotta figure out keeping my rear badges plasti-dipped or revert back to factory chrome... arghhhhhh..... http:// 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReactiveD Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Get some plasti dip smoke for the chrome emblems with the ford logo it will actually black the blue and dark gray the chrome, depending on how many layers. either that or get pearl white cut out for the ford logos and overlay.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasti-dip smoke is exactly what I'd need... cos I really want to change out the blue oval.... so thanks for the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
