mustang_mikey Posted November 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) UPDATE 11/3: Finally got my car back from the body shop after dropping it off 15 days ago...what a nightmare. I do not recommend the SS Tuning spoiler to anyone because the bodyshop had a pain installing it. They first told me multiple times it was made for a different car and it wouldn't fit. They had to make severe modifications to it. But they were really great as far as they did it done and I absolutely love it. Wanted it to be two-tone satin + gloss black, but the satin came out pretty close to gloss looking. Which is fine. I'll likely be getting a center stripe down the entire car as well. Wheels painted black Rear diffuser custom painted body color + accent black gloss + black exhaust tips Front splitter paint + install Euro headlights are working fine for now, DRLs I still have to play with to keep them on Coming soon: Center stripe + rocker panel stripe Aerotekk side splitters Mudflaps Tinted rear bumper reflector + rear trunk emblems wrapped in black Small things, like I ordered dynamic LED turn signals for the side mirrors Super happy with how it looks!

Roadhawk Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I'm super impressed...great looking ride! I can see we may think alike in a few ways. I love to mod my cars for a personal touch and I'm pretty sure I'll want to black out any chrome trim after I finally get mine. The model photos at the start of the thread are slick looking but here in VA you have to watch tinting/paint on any lights...it get frowned on at inspection. I think I'd like the splitter better without the center "scoop" section but thats personal taste. The lights look great! I'd like to do actual fog lights in the center of the lower DRLs Keep up the fantastic work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to do actual fog lights in the center of the lower DRLs Keep up the fantastic work! Thank you I really appreciate that! Exactly, I'm the same way. Sometimes I dream and see what works and then don't execute - light the taillight stuff. But everything else I did move forward with. And agree, I'm not the biggest fan of that scoop - unfortunately there are so many limited options out there and I had a bad experience getting that splitter and the install process, so I didn't want to modify it any more lol. I've thought about the fog lights too! But it's more work than I want to do because you also need to get a different light switch for inside the car if you want it to look OEM.

mustang_mikey Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Update 12/10: I've had my car like this for a month. But got the stripe done! I wish I went a bit thicker on the pinstripe but I'm still very happy with it. I also recently installed mudflaps on the rear which you'll see are only in some photos. Next will be sequential mirror signals that I already have but need to install. And also side splitters I bought from Aerotekk. For some reason I don't have many day photos. I guess I need to get better at that. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadhawk Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 That stripe WORKS with the rest of the blackout touches.I like the lower sill accent stripe too. I've also thought about a candy red tint for the entire taillight width. Something about the clear look that rubs me the wrong way LOL Did you paint your calipers? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolsen Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I REALLY like the headlight modification. Did you ever figure out how to get them working properly? I'd love it if you could do a write up or something. I think that's the next modification I would do to my edge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tashton Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I love the racing stripe and lower accent stripe. Can you let us know your source. Were they made custom or are they available somewhere? I would love to apply a similar treatment to my 2016 Edge Sport, but in a different color. It looks naked without those cool stripes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had them custom made - I knew exactly what I wanted and had a local vinyl shop recreate them. I'm attaching the official Edge logo for you or anyone who might want it for the side treatment in a vector format which is beneficial for any vinyl/graphics shop. edge-logo-updated.eps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, definitely get a bit more attention but not as much as you might expect. Only got pulled over once and was found not guilty for it lol - so fingers crossed it stays this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really the only shop that wanted to tint the tails with their weird design and were affordable. Exhaust is an X pipe with 2 borla mufflers. Got it done at G Exhaust. They have 2 shops and are very well known down here for exhaust. Thanks for the compliments. I got a crazy good deal on the wheels. Did the springs myself. I want to eventually get the coilovers one day and a tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob a lil drone at 80mph on hwy but not enough to bother me....no cell phone clip will ever help hear an exhaust sound....I originally just updated the mufflers but really got to hear it when I did the x pipe with the mufflers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I still had my welding equipment, as I could get some pipe and fab up a bolt-in down-pipe back exhaust system for like maybe $250 including piping and mufflers. Crazy how much magnaflow and others charge for their catback systems for the ST, or I would be super tempted to try it out. Would just have to adjust the tips to fit the sport bumper vs the ST bumper. So I definitely have been kicking back and forth going to a local exhaust shop and having them do it, but I kinda want to hear more examples of WOT and highway sounds before I do. I don't want to hate it and be stuck with it. Edited May 4, 2021 by CrackedDSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookiemonster117 Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Sounds great...not obnoxious at all...anything beats stock. Changing the mufflers didn't do much to the sound until i did the x pipe in place of resonator too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
