How difficult was it to install the filter? Thanks in advance.

Ordered from autoanything.com for $38.50 plus FREE S&H. Already shipped, they provide UPS tracking, and should be here on 12/12/07. They have GREAT pricing.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder why there is NO K&N air filter listed for the 2007 MKX? As far as I know, the air filter used in the '07 MKX is identical to that used in the '07 Edge or '08 MKX - same engine and filter housing. Oh, I DID give K&N a call and they insisted that I NOT try to use the filter availalbe for the '07 Edge or the '08 MKX - the gal on the phone stated that there could be a performance/warranty problem. Go figure!

I have an MKX with the factory installed THX radio with Sirius Satellite. If possible, I would like to remove the Sirius receiver and install an XM receiver. The present Sirius receiver is located in the rear hatch door. If possisble, would all the radio function buttons on the steering wheel still work as well as all the functions on the THX receiver? I have XM in my office and my other vehciles and the programming is soooooooooo much better. Thanks in advance.

Any word on whether the Sync system will be availalbe as a retrofit for the 2007 Edge/MKX? A video of the Sync system is available on Utube - very impressive! BUT, the steering wheel controls, in the video, reflected a PHONE button on the right side of the steering wheel, which is NOT found on my MKX. This in itself bodes poorly for a retrofit.

My MKX was delivered with the THX® II Certified Audio/Navi System, which is supposed to contain a TOTAL of fourteen speakers. Where does Ford/Lincoln hide the fourteen speakers? I count as follows: two in each front door = 4 one in each rear door = 2 one speaker in front dash = 1 one sub-woofer in right rear cargo area = 1 Grand Total = 8 WHERE are the balance of the 6 speakers hiding in order to add up to 14? Regards!

Nope, not a dealer swap. MKX was delivered from the factory with the Michelins - I was at the dealer when the vehicle was unloaded, since I only live five minutes away. The G.M./Sales Manager called me the minute the convoy truck was in the parking lot.

18" tires on factory chrome/plastic wheels - specific size=245x60x18

What brand of tires did Ford install on your MKX/Edge? I was surprised to find Michelins on my MKX. Model of tire is the Latitude Tour HP; Ratings of tires are: tread wear=440, traction=A, temp=A. I was expecting Continental tires. Glad I received the Michelins. Inquiring minds would like to know. Regards.

For your edification, I have posted in the pics gallery, some high resolution captures of my MKX with the Door Guards installed. I did watch the tech install the guards - took a great deal of time in measuring and marking with a grease pencil. Critical was wiping down the paint with Prep-Sol 70, a 3M product. The Prep-Sol removes all traces of grease, wax, dirt and other nasty grime. Hope this helps. Regards

I am looking for a "custom fit/molded" set of mud flaps for my MKX - front and rear. I did buy the official Ford version, but they are simply a set of FLAT UNIVERSAL mud flaps which require drilling into the fender. In fact, the flaps need some trimming in order to fit flush within the wheel well. Sent email to Husky, they make a great custom fit mudflap, and they responded that maybe in the future if the MKX/Edge sells and demand for the mud flaps builds. Putco makes a nice mud flap in stainless steel, but no model, as of yet, for the MKX/Edge. Thanks in advance!

Will get some pics up later this week. When you order, the tech asks for the Lincoln Color Code, so that the paint on the guard is an exact match. Again, NO connection with Sportwing, its just that I have purchased form them in the past and they have always been PERFECT with color match and sizing. In fact, if you go to their web site, you can read their gurantee and also see pics of an Edge with the door guards already installed. My next purchase, form Sportwing, will be color matched wheel well guards that actually extend INTO the wheel well and fully protect the wheel well metal - not just the surface. Wish the MKX had FACTORY cladding, like the Explorer. Regards!
-
I suggest you give them a call and get the specifics. I have used their door guards on five other vehciles (four Explorers and a Licoln Aviator)and the color match, as well as the fit/cut, was PERFECT every time. The call is toll free! Regards

Just had DOOR MOLDINGS/GUARDS installed on my MKX which was built on May 30, 2007, and delivered on June 12, 2007. They are about 2" wide and run the length of all four doors. Looks much better than just a naked, unprotected door surface. Purchased from a company called Sportwing located in Cleveland, Ohio. Since I live in Cleveland, they have a local install shop and I had them installed in 15 minutes - exact measuring for placement took 95% of the time of install since guards were already pre-cut and painted. Color is a 100% match, which is Dune Pearl. No drilling, since they use 3M automotive tape and the fit is PERFECT! If I get a chance, will take some pics and post later this week. Oh, Sportwing also sells on Ebay, but I would deal with them personally at 1-800-899-1516. And NO, I am NOT associated with Sportwing. Visit them at Sportwing.com. Great customer service.
