FordGuru Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 just wanted to put ink to paper, so to speak, and fill everyone in on my project list for the ol ladies edge. Priority 1 -Upgrade 6CD/MP3 to 2011 Super Duty Nav system. (estimated cost : $1,000 including kit from United Radio) Priority 2 -Illuminated door sills (estimated cost : $140 my cost ) Priority 3 -weighing pro/cons of eibach spring swap all i got so far ALL input is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) The upgrade to the audio system sounds like a damn good idea, and can't beat the price. Illuminated sill plates are really great, have them on my MKX, even the wife things they are pretty cool looking. I only wish that they nhad them for the rear, too. I guess the Eibach spring swap is a matter of one's likes, will it effect handling in any way, to make it better. It's your decision, do whatever floats your boat ! I'd like to do something to mak my MKXmore unique, without effecting warranty, but don't know what.

FordGuru Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 illuminated door sills are sitting in the corner. once i get all of my warranty work done i'll be putting them on! OEM Navigation Solutions agreed to accept my 07 Nav unit on a core credit basis so i'll be getting my 09-10 nav unit with motorcraft install kit in about 2 weeks!!!!! significant other bought me the Canon T2i that i've been wanting for a long time this weekend and it came with a bag, card, HDMI cable, and 2 lenses so i'll be able to get some awesome pics of all these upgrades!

Dingo Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 That's pretty decent coverage for most shots. You might want to add a nice 35 to 50mm prime and maybe a macro lens one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 way ahead of you. i've got a 50mm prime and an 80mm with USM and AF So you know what you're doing! Great! I went Nikon instead. I've had and sold many lenses, but I think I now have the perfect combination now. I have a 10.5mm fisheye, an 85mm micro/macro with VR, a 12-24mm, an 18-200mm VR, and a 70-300mm VR.
