DrewWhitford Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Just wanted to introduce myself as a new owner. I recently purchased a new car (11 Honda Accord V6 6MT) and my poor but beautiful wife got jealous. Soooo, I was "forced" to picked a new '12 Ford Edge Sport with the vista roof and drivers entry for her. We basically got invoice - 3250 in rebates and 8k on a trade in (02 trans am with 96K in good condition). Had wonderful buying experience. Put a few grand down and financed 25K with ford. We will refi after a few months at a lower rate. So far we have installed some interior LEDs, 5k 55watt HIDs, and blacked out the front chrome trim. Which one is considered an import (Ohio vs Canada?) And My Baby (but I'm starting to love the Ford too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_bova Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Welcome. Any chance of front end shot of edge so we can see the blacked out chrome? I'm looking to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it in these pics. Its the 1/2" chrome strip above the headlights. I wrapped it in 3M vinyl, easy job, 15 mins. I also wrapped the grill on the honda.

Dingo Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Drew, you should buy the front blinker bulbs that I just removed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_bova Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Drew, checked out the ebay link you posted. It's a 12" X 12" sheet of film. Did you use this or another size that you didn't have to piece together to run the length of the chrome under the hood? I'm going to try this, http://www.ebay.com/itm/3M-Scotchprint-1080-Gloss-Black-Vinyl-Wrap-12-x60-5-Sq-Ft-1X5-/120888883678?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c2589f9de&vxp=mtr#ht_4414wt_1163 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewWhitford Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 That looks good. I have one splice and its not noticable if u match the pattern. Note the curve of the chrome...you will need more than a 1" strip. Maybe even 6". Cut with rzr blade(eith card brd backing) or even finger nail.
