DJ Nap Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) nice! I was going to say, before I saw your location, is that it looks like a Florida neighborhood that you're in, lol.

fordaholic Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Your Edge looks sharp. Nice job. Where did you get the bumper cover and is Scion the brand or is it for a Scion car like an xB or something? Have been looking for one for ours, but haven't found one that wraps over the edge like yours. I like that one a lot. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Talionis Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 nice... if you really want it fully murdered out, the logo emblems gotta go.. maybe tint those as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOFSTEEL Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 ^The windows look tinted to me. You don't necessarily need to go with limo for a "murdered out" look. You do need some black wheels though. ...and I have also been toying with the idea of black emblems (Limited & Edge). Might have to buy and extra set and do some painting come spring time.

MOFSTEEL Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I think Lex was talking about tinting the emblems... Ahh, I misread. He had mentioned liking the tinted Ford emblems in another thread. I have the matt black ones myself and just waiting for the weather to warm up to install.

Edgely Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I'm with "fordaholic". The Scion Xb bumper cover looks like a real good fit.....or did you have to mod it a little? Did you get a good deal on it some where or did you get it from a dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igcitng Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 There is huge post on here from this summer about that bumper cover, not an original idea. It is 5 or 6 pages long with pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1nutsvt Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 its all right here Lex posted the link regarding the Scion xB bumper protector. You'll need to do a little work prior to install. The tailgate side is slightly flipped up. You'll need to straighten it. I heated it over my stove in small sections straightend 90% of it. Probably took me less than 20 min to do. The curve is just slightly bigger but just push it inward while attaching it to the bumper and you should have no problem. Final result is great. Now you'll protect the lip of the bumper. I had the ford stick-on vinyl one and it began to shrink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1nutsvt Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 SICK TRUCK. What paint did you use, on the grille, and fog lights? I would love to do this to my truck. I am in Toronto, Canada, so will have to wait until the spring/summer. Your help is appreciated. Thanks. The grille was painted by the dealers collision center. Dark Ink Metallic to match. (i bought the primer version of the grille) Some idiot (typical Florida driver in traffic) (probably texting) decided to kiss my rear bumper. I'm glad it was mainly a remove and replace repair. So the body shop shot it along with the new bumper cover. Best opportunity to get it painted otherwise it would of cost an arm-and-a-leg to just shoot the grille overlay. AND Since they had to drop the front bumper cover I also had them swap out to sport headlights. (Anyone need to buy a set of slightly used headlights??) (Maybe I try a HID retofit with Acura TSX lights) I thought of buying the sport black foglight bezels but The all black bezel made the fogs look too small. So I taped the reflector and ran new sharp razor blade around to get that effect. I sanded, primed and painted with SATIN black to match better with the unpainted black plastic. Hopefully it will not chip off too bad. DAMM LOVE BUGS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
