Has anyone painted the oem chrome on their edge? I'm interested in painting the grille gloss black and possibly the wheels too but I'm not sure what products I need and what steps to take....any help would be appreciated. thanks

Good point....I'm just debating what I want to do with my wheel situation...I want new wheels but I'm afraid of the costs down the line and I would probably stay with the same size anyway.....maybe ill just end up painting my stock wheels...

I got just the system with the fob that just starts it up and I'm happy cause I live in Cleveland, OH and the leather can freeze your butt when you get in there....and it helps mpg too so you're not driving it when the engine is cold

So to keep it basic....a/c for highway, windows for city....which uses less energy though, recycled air or just regular a/c?

What's the max sub size that can fit in the oem sub enclosure? I'm looking to upgrade just a little bit from the stock sub

I roll the windows down whenever cleveland ohio decides to have good weather. I heard some people mention the 50/50 rule, above 50mph using ac, below 50mph use windows. is that true?

sounds good. I'll check out these products for sure once I get new wheels. thanks

I've been trying to lately...I used to just punch it everywhere and have fun then my mom put the gas burden on me haha now I roll out of stops before accelerating which I do pretty slowly, I average 67 mph in a 60 mph highway and I coast as much as possible. I just find that this car isn't really great for mpg like other suv's or cuv's are

okay thanks

Thanks. I wasn't so much worried about performance as I was about the mpg....I drive at least 50 miles everyday and my mom bought me this car and now I'm stuck filling up at the tank twice a week.

okay thanks that helps. I'm looking to save up money to get 20" kmc rockstar wheels and would like to just keep them on all year long

okay thanks!

Did you look into the XD series rockstars or just the car series? I wish I could see which looked/worked better on the edge....

Topic says it all...from experience, where's the best place to purchase new wheels (and tires)? thanks

I'm looking to get 6k type 2 switchbacks for my 08 SEL. I was wondering if anyone has installed them on the 07-10 models just so I know if they're satisfied with them and if they decided to take out the amber sliver in the headlight housing or not...thanks

so just want some opinions.....I'm looking at the KMC rockstar wheels but should I go with the XD series or the car series? Thanks

okay thanks cause i would really love to get new wheels but it would be annoying to take them off for the winter. what wax do you use for your wheels?

I'm not sure about the color choices either....usually it just shows the blue color. Good thing about DIY is you can do whatever color you want

great idea. thanks for the help

Would the snow and salt from the road damage the finish on the wheel or the structure of it though?

I was recently told that aftermarket wheels can withstand snow and salt during the winter time without any damage as long as you clean them regularly. Is this true??

Thanks. I'm looking to get those for my edge but I'm hesitant due to me living in Cleveland, OH and I would hate to have to take these off every winter

Hey I'm gonna have to stall on this deal....I can't spend the money right now cause I got hit with some bills from school. Good luck selling them and if they're still up there when I get the money then I'll snatch em up. Hope you understand. thanks

I have an 08 SEL...instead of buying the ambient lighting kit, I got LED strip and put them in myself and even added an on/off switch. Cost about $30 total and its a fun DIY project
