Love the projector headlight. Cant stant the increased chrome grille. Hence why i replaced mine with a painted one. My opinion the 4 cyl is a mistake: For me, that is what set the Edge apart from the CX7. My brother bought the CX-7 and i was just about to. That turbo 4 just sounded way too loud and seemed to be working way too hard. There is NOT really any fuel savings. Turbos usually require premium fuel do to the higher compression engine (now they claim the CX7 can use regular). Thats way a Murano was also out of the picture. Well if i had the money i would of gone with a MDX and lived with the premium fuel. If your going to burn fuel, dont puss out and throw in that Eccoboost 6 for the Edge Sport or make a SVT model! The Edge also felt a lot bigger inside, had rear passenger vents and the reclining rear seats clinched, the deal. My major flaw was the lack of the entry assist handles up front. "Ohh shit handles" I'd rather have a 6 cyl working at 60% than that turbo working at 90%. But it is nice to see that an american car company finally learned to update the cars. Not like my old 2003 trailblazer that basically remained the same.

My company uses Ford for their fleet vehicles and i succesfully reprogramed an older style remote as an additional spare. took just 1 minute to do. Just like the one you saw on ebay. Also the older style keys work as you know already.

For Sale, Pair of OEM Ford Edge headlights in perfect condition. I swapped mine for the Edge Sport headlights New, these typically cost $150 each. Asking $175 for BOTH. They are stored in the factory boxes the Sport headlights came in. Thought about doing a HID retrofit but need the money. Call or Email. Alex 407 702 7659 Location: Orlando, FL

Just a little annoyed at the "extension" of the warranty. I live in Florida and lightly use my Edge, Mainly on weekends. Not a whole lot of days i'll really need to use the heat. (This weekend I used it for the second time and i owned the card since January Now with about 8400 miles) Fix the problem don't extend the coverage and home most of us fall out of the warrantee. Just does not seem right.

The grille was painted by the dealers collision center. Dark Ink Metallic to match. (i bought the primer version of the grille) Some idiot (typical Florida driver in traffic) (probably texting) decided to kiss my rear bumper. I'm glad it was mainly a remove and replace repair. So the body shop shot it along with the new bumper cover. Best opportunity to get it painted otherwise it would of cost an arm-and-a-leg to just shoot the grille overlay. AND Since they had to drop the front bumper cover I also had them swap out to sport headlights. (Anyone need to buy a set of slightly used headlights??) (Maybe I try a HID retofit with Acura TSX lights) I thought of buying the sport black foglight bezels but The all black bezel made the fogs look too small. So I taped the reflector and ran new sharp razor blade around to get that effect. I sanded, primed and painted with SATIN black to match better with the unpainted black plastic. Hopefully it will not chip off too bad. DAMM LOVE BUGS!

Lex posted the link regarding the Scion xB bumper protector. You'll need to do a little work prior to install. The tailgate side is slightly flipped up. You'll need to straighten it. I heated it over my stove in small sections straightend 90% of it. Probably took me less than 20 min to do. The curve is just slightly bigger but just push it inward while attaching it to the bumper and you should have no problem. Final result is great. Now you'll protect the lip of the bumper. I had the ford stick-on vinyl one and it began to shrink.

Just wanted to post some pics of my x-mas present to myself. Painted front grille, sport headlights, blacked out foglight bezel & scion rear bumper protector. Check out how I masking of the foglight bezel.

I went with the Bully Dog Basic System http://www.reversebackingsystems.com/Produ...productid=DT104 I had no issues ordering from them. I installed it myself. I just wanted a basic "beep-beep" If you remove the rear bumper cover, the factory locations are marked from behind. I drilled a very small pilot hole at the center and re-assmbled the bumper. After, I taped the area and used the supplied hole bit and finished the install. (total about 2 hrs) Final product looks factory installed. I have dark ink metallic so you cannot notice the black sensors too much. I also installed another set (unpainted) on a Silver Grand Marquis and panted them with silver metalic and the work and look OEM. (The unpainted ones have a black ring with an unpainted metal center. I used lightcoat of primer and a light coat of paint.)

FYI i purchased them and they are just like he described. My kids thank you.

I have also experience anoying rear seat belt flapping... I personally like to roll down the windows and smell the smog... LOL The best solution is to roll up all windows about 3-4 inches and that seams to do the trick.

Looking for some trustworth sites to get a reverse sensor kit. I'm looking to get an audible only 4 sensor kit. Has anyone heard of: http://parking-sensors.hyt.com/

JUST AN FYI. I called a company in Cali named ANZO and a rep mentioned that they are working on an projector kit around $450 for the Edge probably due to come out in the fall. http://www.anzousa.com/index.html PS You'll need to remove the bumper cover in order to remove the headlights.

see this "short" video on how someone "IZN" did a hid retrofit. Turn down the music you may go insane. http://www.vimeo.com/1593165

Just some info on the factory hitch setup: I bought the factory hitch and installed it. It's not welded on the bumper, the hitch IS the bumper. The non hitch bumper is only bolted onto the facia of the the body and made of "tin". The replacement hitch/bumper also slips into the unibody frame of the car made of slightly stronger square tubing. Like a the old days when a bumper was a bumper and not just something to hold the cover in place. I thought of bringing it to a welding shop and retro fitting it to 2". Just because it is much easier to purchase stuff for a 2" receiver.
