DevilBuckeye Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Well been a member for a few days. Traded in my highly modded 07 Scion TC last Saturday. I have a 20 month old and a wife that cant drive stick so it lead me to traded in my baby. We looked at the Edge and Fusion and really wanted the Fusion. We couldnt get one financed last month but this month I looked and found a black 08 SEL AWD EDGE that I could finance. It has 41k miles which makes me a little squeemesh but I know new cars are built to last longer and longer.I love that transition from my 5 Speed to the Automatic. It makes my 1 hour drive to and from work less harsh on my knees. I like the ride and cant wait to start putting some money into it. New rims, HIDs and maybe a Black powdercoated front grill will be all I do. I guess it is cause I put alot on my last car but I am finding the amount of aftermarket parts for the Edge is pretty minimal for what I wanna do. No black metal front grill, no tail light upgrades. No headlight upgrades. I guess it is more of a family car then a mid 20's single adult's car. But either way, I am happy with the car as it fits the needs for my family. I will try to add some pics but since its bone stock not really anything exciting with it. Look forward to being active on teh boards.

wkevingossett Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Can't powdercoat the grill as it is chromed plastic. You'll have to media blast and paint or do a vinyl overlay (both of which have been shown on the forum). For the tails, pretty much the only thing I've seen is tinting them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilBuckeye Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 well, not really thinking of getting the stock grill powder coated. Thinking of buying teh billet grill and then powder coating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
