Manish R. Patel Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 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! Manish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manish R. Patel Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) 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...? Edited February 23, 2013 by Manish R.

Manish R. Patel Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 You'll see shortly. The ups fairy should be showing up a few times in the next couple weeks. By the way, get some short chrome valve stem sleeves, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manish R. Patel Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 A question for you...? Whenever I get out of the car, while its running, like to run my daughter into her school in the morning, the car beeps twice, telling me my key is with me etc..., is there a way to defeat the 2 horn chirps every time i get out?
