Edgieguy Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 So last night my cousin rear-ends a box truck with his Edge. The damage although it appears only cosmetic, looks like it will include a new set of fenders, grill, hood, bumper cover and radiator support. While i was trying to make him feel better about it, I suggested something silly which got me thinking.... Could he possibly replace these parts with 2011 parts and facelift his own edge? if the unibody underneath is the same, wouldnt the panels all fit? if anybody knows, drop a comment. He should have a from insurance this week and be ready for repair within two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloe13 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) That sucks, sorry to hear about his Edge. I was devastated (okay, I cried!) when I scratched my brand new one on a stupid low retaining wall. Can't imagine how pissed I'll be at it's first accident! I too would love to know the answer to this question. I just bought a 2010 Edge less than a week before finding out they remodeled them for 2011! And it wasn't on year end clearance yet either, so I paid full price I still love mine, don't get me wrong, I'm just bummed my new car is going to the "old" model in a matter of weeks. Same exact thing happened with my Escape (Next time I'll go and almost-buy my new car, then go home and a wait a year. Or start leasing...) Anyway, can anyone please chime in as to whether or not ANY of the exterior parts of the 2011's will fit the 07-10 models? I wish I could get that new grille, but that'd be too good to be true I bet. It made me notice how much I dislike those empty gaps in the bumper under the grille the 07-10's have... So last night my cousin rear-ends a box truck with his Edge.

Edgieguy Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I was hoping that someone from the plant who has walked through and seen the 2010's alongside the 2011's on the forums would chime in. I know that Ford changed the hood, fenders and grill and bumper. I would assume that the radiator support would have changed as well. Sine these are all the parts that he would need, I figured this would be a great opportunity, and a chance to do a write up for the forums as well. Still hoping to hear from an insider.

igcitng Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I can't imagine that trade in/resale value would be any good if he created a Franken-Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwbronco Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I highly doubt that it's interchangeable. You'd have to do the ENTIRE front end - entire bumper, hood, fender panels, headlights, grille, etc. Even then you'd have to hope that where it meets at the door hasn't changed too much either.. I stood in front of a 2011 parked next to a 2010 yesterday and the difference while it may look subtle is night and day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07CRUSH Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 It won't work , u would have to change the rad support and the impact absorber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgieguy Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 As was my guess when my cousin was fixing his Edge, the new 2011 panels will fit an earlier model. if the radiator support needs to be changed, then the hood, fenders, grill and everything else will bolt right up. Body shop had one in and had the front end stripped off and it was exactly the same as earlier models, so when my buddy saw it he called to say "remember you were asking?" Well, the answer is YES. By the way, since he wasnt sure, he fixed his Edge with the appropriate years parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyMN Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Does anyone lnow if the Edge hood would fit a lincoln mkx? (2007 mkx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Does anyone lnow if the Edge hood would fit a lincoln mkx? (2007 mkx) No. They have different part numbers, so they are different. 2007 MKX 2007 Edge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
