BeDevil79 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Well done, I think this looks awesome. Cheers! Not sure why Ford didn't do this themselves for the Sport and/or App Pack.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockballer Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Looks good. Defentaly an improvement on the black front grilles. I'm probibly the only fan here for the chrome look. But if it's black make it all black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sajid.ali Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I like the Chrome grille with chrome mirror covers and chrome door handles more....but the work u guys done is awsome..... love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugster Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hey Dingo, you have had this on for a couple years now, still look good? I am looking at the carbon fiber version to cover the front chrome/back emblems/possible bumber protector. Is this stuff printed and will wear away? or long term durable. I love the way yours looks and may go that way too. I thought the carbon fiber look would be a different looking accent. let me know.

rwf78155 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Ordered it and had a place in San Antonio do the chrome strip on my Edge Sport. They charged me $40 and even though I know its a em strip covering the chrome I cant tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwf78155 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 They specialized in wrapping vehicles ! Actually were in the process of doing a complete FLAT BLACK body wrap on a brand new Corvette. I watched them do it and they had my grill covered in 30 minutes....I cant tell the 3m piece from the original SPORT black grill!.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge_of_murder Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Lol you sound like me I hate chrome... check out my mkz. That wrap matches pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shacho Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) I took my baby to have her braces removed today and now she is all smiles!! Will definitely consider wrapping the chrome strip. Thanks for the info! Before After Edited October 13, 2014 by shacho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0lboubou Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 did you wrapped the all grille or you painted it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Braces, LOL! Worthwhile upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shacho Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I had a paint and body shop paint the grill inserts and install. I wanted the grill to be the exact same color as the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0lboubou Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I read that the chrome insert cant be paint... So it's not true!? It is expensive? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shacho Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I heard that also but decided to purchase the already primed inserts, so if for some reason, I needed more inserts, I would have them readily available for install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Faldik Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Scotchprint used to cover the chrome strip above the SPORT grill.......I can't tell the difference from the original grill color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46stanger Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I know this is an old thread, but just bought my metallic wrap and that's it. Haven't had any luck of ford edge owners doing vids of their wrapping. I've seen some other wrapping vids on youtube. My question is I'm wrapping the upper strip on my sport grille and some wrapping vids use primer for the wrap to stick and others just put peel and wrap with heat gun and squeegee. I ordered the 3m 1080 metallic wrap and advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellbine Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 You should just need the heat gun and squeegee. Not sure if anyone here has used a primer to get their wrap on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primer, or adhesive promoter, can be very difficult to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retiredarmymp Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I just wrapped the chrome strip, painted the front emblem bezel and installed new painted grill emblems on the front and rear. I originallty wrapped the front emblem bezel but it didn't turn out that good (too many complex curves). I'm very happy with the way it turned out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XB70 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 There is a lot of chrome on the front end of the Edge. But I'm not sure of just what method to use to turn it down a notch. But using a photo from the dealer's ad for my Edge and Microsoft Paint it is possible to experiment with some options. Here's the first try: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB70 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 As you can see I also decided to black out the DRL area but leave the lower chrome bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
