sabtaj1 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 never thought of the 3M film. That would be a hell of a job. Give the ol heat gun a workout. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosecannon Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 The film "wrap" is not done around here for one. Secondly, it cost more than what i paid for my paintjob... they run around 5 grand for a complete wrap i believe. Hey Sabtaj1,.. i check on the side mirrors... it's a no go. Turns out even if they fit, which i'm sure they do, our edges aren't wired for the blinkers and defroster in the mirrors, so it would be a waste of money. O'well. -Cannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabtaj1 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 cannon, Looks like you will have to spring for the sport headlamps then. LOL. There is a thread on here I started that has the by far cheapest place to get the headlights and tails for the sports. I am cool with the mirrors, sucks but owell. My downfall with my 07 was the blindspot mirrors not being there. But..... I judt bought the actual mirrors with the blindspots from another member on here. Just waiting for them to arrive. I just have to figure out how to remove just the mirror glass. Today was the first day I drove the edge since redoing the wheels in all satin. So funny how everyone stares and breaks their necks trying to figure out what it is. I am loving it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosecannon Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Help me out here so i don't have to use the search button..... what bulb is our high beam, low beam, and fog lights. I want to do HID's. And where do you suggest i buy the sport headlights from? My little edge turned heads when it was all blacked out as well.... then i did the satin paint job,.. HOLY SHIT, it turns heads like no other vehicle i have ever owned!. And it looks bad ass even when it's dirty :P -Cannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the ol heat gun a workout. LOL Yeah, I would have it done, I am sure it isn't an easy install. Locally, it is cheaper than a decent paint job, so I might go that way. The graphic installers prefer the 3M film since it goes on/comes off easier. They just made a carbon fiber film too, I might use that on the mirrors/grill. Canon's car looks killer, I am motivated to get mine done now...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosecannon Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 A wrap in a matte finish would look awsome,.. i wouldn't get a wrap done in a glossy color tho, it would just look cheesy. And NEVER do carbon fiber unless it is real carbon fiber. I LOVE carbon fiber, and have never seen a fake that looks even close to the real thing. Just do the mirrors in matte as well...... just my opinion tho. -Cannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabtaj1 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 sport healights. - http://www.partsgeek.com/mmparts/headlight/ford/edge.html High beam - 9011 (You dont want to replace these with HID. Lose the FLASH TO PASS). I used PIAA Extreme whites. Low beam- H11 Fogs- H11 I am pretty sure on the sizes. For the low beams get the regular ballast and for the fogs go with the slim ballasts. I bought mine from a website and have had them for almost a year now and NO PROBLEMS and the prices are AWESOME!!!!! http://www.wholesalexenonhid.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosecannon Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Are you sure the highs aren't 9005? I just ordered an entire HID setup, highs, lows, and fogs. I'm not worried about the flash to pass,.. hardly use it anyways. I went with 6000k on highs and lows, and 3000k on fogs (wanted yellow) -CAnnon Oh and went with DDM tuning for the HID's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabtaj1 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 My bad. You are correct. I dont know why I put 9011. They are 9005. I hope you didnt order the wrong high beams. I went with the 8000k kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosecannon Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Nah i ordered the right one. Starting a new thread with more pics of my Edge,.. finally got more pics and better quality. -Cannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre13Style Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 The satin is very sharp. Well done and tasteful. Classy yet still hairy at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre13Style Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 LOL yes classy but hairy is a compliment. Maybe that saying is indigenious to my area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosecannon Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Well,... I've heard the saying that, "American's like big, hairy, bad ass, fast cars" )) My edge is zippy at least! The paint job does get alot of looks and compliments. Thanks tho! -Cannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishTuner Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Wow is that a beautiful color! that is one sexy edge!! If you dont mind me asking, what size tires are you running and what are the offsets on your rims? It looks perfect! I'm trying to figure out what sizes to use for mine. TIA!!

2,4shofast Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Your Edge looks amazing! I really like the LED's by the fog lights, it completely changes the front appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosecannon Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hey IrishTuner, sorry i don't remember the offset,.. i think it was 45 or something like that, lol. Tire size,... ummm,.. need to get off my butt and go look. The wheels are 22's tho. 2,4shofast,.. thanks, i just wired the LED's up so that they blink when the turn signals blink,... looks kinda trick -CAnnon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to figure out tire size..... Just want to know the series of tire your running.....35? 40? And how do you find the comfort of the ride? thanks!!

Loosecannon Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 OK ok ok,.. i felt so bad, i ran out in the rain to get the size. 285/35/22 Nitto's. I think they are Nitto Invo's. I like their tread wear, traction and temp. They ride good, and stick nice. And the tread wear rating should make them good for alittle while.
