Ladies/Gentleman, I just picked up my 2013 Ford Edge sport in Tuxedo black with entry, vision, navi, roof and all-weather mats.

 

So far, I love it, its very all-inclusive. I opted not to sit at the dealership for two hours to have the guy attempt to sync my phone, so i just got my paperwork stuff done and left. Its nice, I like it, lots to discover. I asked them not to clean it or do anything with the paint, I'm a bit of an OCD type with paint, i do my own details etc... but its beautiful and I'm happy.

 

I dont want to mod it a whole lot but I'm gonna get HID's for the headlights, will tint the 2 front windows and put my Alpine amp and my Type R sub in there. Thats about it.

 

Thanks for having me, lots of questions to come!

Welcome!! Congrats on the new ride.... enjoy it :)

 

Thank you, so far so good, I have about 80 miles on it and its so comfortable and so automated, I dont even know where to start!

 

Welcome to the fold :) Sounds like you are off to a good start ...

 

Thank you for the welcome, I've been reading and reading, lots of good information here!

 

I purchased a 35watt DDM kit yesterday evening, I have my amp and sub ready to go and I have an appointment this week to get the passenger/driver windows tinted like the rest and to get a nice professional detail. I didnt let the dealer touch the paint outside of removing all of the convoy packaging.

 

I can say this so far, the only odd thing I've come across so far is the SD card slot. Its not a big deal as 99% of my driving is done without navigation, however the fact the SD for the navi must stay in for it to function is a bit of a fail on Fords part for not building in the memory of the Navi and updating it through sync etc... but, that being said, I use my own SD card in there or will most likely buy a larger pair of USB drives and transfer it all over to that.

 

So far so good. I want to cover over the chrome strip above the headlights & grill, I'm just debating what to use, gloss vinyl perhaps being I'm tuxedo black...?

I'll get some photo's with my DSLR's once i get it all detailed and looking presentable. If anyone is interested in meeting up to have a twins shoot, let me know!

Thank you, I believe the puddle LED lights and the license plate LED lights are in the mix also, along with the Accel performance coils for the 3.7. I also need to install, or have installed, the HID kit as I dont know if my mechanical savvy will handle it too well. I think I'm also going to black out the chrome strip on the front utilizing the 3M black gloss metallic vinyl (thanks Dingo).
