Has an edge owner had his/her lower body panels painted body color?


Recommended Posts

I'm surprised I've not seen that here already. My Porsche Cayenne Turbo with off-pavement package arrived with black lower panels and looked so not-good I had them painted. It looks MUCH better that way.

Have finally found 3 Edges across the country that meet my requirements. Two are fairly close to Phoenix--Reno, NV and Ogden, UT--and one's in Kentucky. As soon as I get a deposit on my Cayenne, I'll buy the one in Ogden, if it's still there.

Mine are done, and I LOVE the way it looks.

I decided not to have the door bottoms and rockerpanels painted, and I think that was the right decision.

 

Tomorrow, another muffler to eliminate the droning, and next week, maybe new grilles and rear-door woofers.

May I ask why you decided not to paint the lower doors and rocker panels? Just curious.

It was just a hunch...maybe that the black-center wheels would look better sort of not between all-copper body color. The more I look at the broadside pic, the more I think either treatment does/will look great.

 

Frankly, I'm surprised Ford isn't doing this to the '08 Limited.

Love it looks great. How did they prepare the panels?

Yes, it's an '04 Turbo that I owned for 4 years and had about 60,000 miles on it when I sold it to my nephew. He too loves it. It was the 1st car in 45 years of car ownership that had enough power.

 

I bought it for its off- and on-pavement excellence, but then I quit landscape fotografy and off-pavement driving and felt I was wasting it (and premium gasoline, too).

 

Here are a few more pics.

For me though it would be hard to go from a Porsche to a Ford though..
