Stock Interior

2015-Edge-Sport-Rim

Slowly I started to think about a design. This year Edge looks like a blank canvas just looking for some new looks. I started by adding back the nicer SPORT caps on the RIMS.

WP_20160928_15_45_55_Pro

Started to understand and researched vinyl car wraps. I wrapped the side rockers with Carbon Fiber with a Red Stripe. Slowly something was starting to come together.

WP_20170721_14_11_20_Rich_LI

Passenger side showing the mirror with half Carbon Fiber and Red Stripe. Added a custom 2.7 TwinTurbo emblem to the side fenders.

WP_20170225_08_39_09_Pro_LI

Front splitter completed as well as driver Mirror. Basic red painted calipers are done.

WP_20160907_11_53_14_Pro

Added some red Vinyl to the grill. But didn't like the look of it in the end and I removed it.

Rear-Vinyl

Rear vinyl complete - Added back the previous gen EDGE logo which I like better. A Sport, black EcoBoost and ASC badge added as well.

I then heard about a tune for the 2015 EDGE that Livernois had. I then started to think about why hasn't FORD made a higher performing SUV. Or how about ROUSH making parts for the EDGE. I then decided to make an aftermarket ROUSH EDGE.

Edge_Sport_2.7L_93_PERF_v3[3632]

Dyno run of the tune available for the 2015 Ford Edge.

So the idea was born. Could we get the Edge to look like it came from Roush and get performance parts to make it worthy of having the Roush badge and not just the looks?

WP_20170824_11_17_45_Rich_LI

A Little engine compartment clean up. Wrapped the cover in Carbon Fiber from Metro Restyling.

WP_20170826_07_46_40_Rich_LI

Painted the intake cover RED and added some carbon fiber and put a Roush Badge on as well.

WP_20170826_13_44_25_Rich_LI

Red really looks good against the white car.

WP_20170930_15_07_27_Rich

Dropped a K&N in as well.

WP_20171003_17_04_51_Rich

First part found was the center caps from a Roush Mustang. They fit the stock EDGE sport wheels with no modifications and look great!

H&R-Springs

Next the car really had to be lowered to get a more aggressive stance. Found that H&R had springs that significantly lowered the car but the ride was not sacrificed at all.

Stock Mid-Pipe

Started to research exhaust options next. After careful consideration I went with an X-Pipe and MRT mufflers. The sound is incredible from stock and is perfect at highway speeds.

IMG_2058

Full shot of the X-Pipe back to the Mufflers.

IMG_2059

X-Pipe 2.5" stainless.

MRT-Mufflers

MRT Mufflers Look great under the back end!

Black-Tips

Was able to determine that a set of Roush Mustang Black tips would fit in the opening of where the Chrome OEM Edge sports tips were.

Exhaust-Tips

I had to have these installed/welded in. I didn't want to take a chance of them coming loose or not looking good. The staggered look is perfect! They don't look oversized and look like they are suppose to be there.

Rear-Exhaust

Full view of the Roush exhaust Tips.

To really compliment the build of this Ford Edge and increase safety we had to find some brakes. Luckily ROTORA had a kit. And its a BIG KIT!!

WP_20171003_19_42_17_Rich

It was an exciting day when this BIG box showed up!

WP_20171003_19_37_19_Rich

Complete with Stainless Steel lines and High performance pads!

6-Piston

Of course great packing and these calipers are HUGE! 6 Pistons and the RED color is perfect!

WP_20171004_08_14_53_Rich

The rotors will fill out the big rims with no problem. Front rotors are 380mm or just shy of 15". Rear rotors are 350mm or just shy of 14".

WP_20171004_08_17_50_Rich

Nice pic of the front calipers.

WP_20171004_08_14_18_Rich

4 Pistons out back are no joke as well.

WP_20171003_19_34_03_Rich

This brake setup will make the car worthy of having a Roush badge on it. On top of stopping on a dime!

WP_20171009_12_24_44_Rich

Front caliper looks really nice behind the rim!

WP_20171009_12_24_27_Rich

Again, rear calipers are big. Bigger than some FRONT brake systems.

IMG_2251

Front end fully assembled. New full Gloss Black Grille, New lower grille with full holes punched out. New OEM DRLS and new Roush Badge.

IMG_2282

Had a decent day so I backed the car out and took a picture of the driver side. More pictures in the coming weeks.

Stock interior lacks color and needs some updating.

Interior

Dressed up the interior a little bit with some red vinyl. Add some red to the doors as well. Added Roush Badges to the seats in front and back.

PGLA9701

Another angle showing the RED and CARBON FIBER vinyl pieces. Got rid of all the Chrome.

Wheel-Cover

Almost done wrapping the wheel.

Steering Wheel Wrap

Wrapped the steering wheel with RED sight line.

WP_20171004_09_11_07_Rich

Added weather tech floor matts with my added touch of carbon fiber and white Roush Logo.

WP_20170814_13_55_53_Rich_LI

Another angle of the front interior highlighting the red.

WP_20170825_10_54_34_Rich_LI

Blacked out the logo on the wheel and added Carbon Fiber accents on the wheel.

WP_20171004_09_10_46_Rich

Weather Tech matt for the cargo/trunk area. Again Roush and Carbon Fiber accents.

WP_20171004_09_10_36_Rich

Looks good with the Roush Tips.

Nav-Screen

Custom background on the Nav Screen as well as a Stage 3 engine badge.

WP_20170826_13_45_06_Rich_LI

Off course the main course is adding the Roush hockey sticks to the side. These are suppose to be for a Mustang but fit the Edge with no issues. I cut out the EDGE at the top for an added touch.

WP_20170826_13_45_16_Rich_LI

Was able to find someone on the internet that could make me some fender badges. Not bad!

Driver-Side-Rear

Stage 3 OEM badge on the gas tank.

Stage3-Gas

Close up on the gas cap. The carbon fiber and red look great.

Front-Brakes

Front brakes look good with the Hockey stick. Added a billet aluminum 2.7 Twin Turbo Ecoboost badge to the fender.

Front-End

Added a lighted Ford grille badge and took a Mustang Roush grille emblem and modified it fit the EDGE grille. Also cut out the plastic and added a second set of DRLs from Phillips.

WP_20170826_13_44_17_Rich_LI

ROUSH badge looks at home against the black grille.

Hood-JackRoush

Black Jack Roush Edition decal on the hood looks sweet.

TZTJ9723

Completed front end...

THAY1268

ROUSH F-150 windshield banner looks like its suppose to be there.

XWHI7599

Added a Roush EDGE emblem to rear hatch.

WP_20170825_10_54_23_Rich_LI

Blacked out the Ford logo in the back brake light.

CCCD0380

Initial design completed. Front shot.

CMDX4257

Side shot. Colors are popping in the sun.

XSMD1031

Hockey stick graphic looks great.

XPUL6407

Being lowered really makes the stance look aggressive.

IMG_1341

After about 1 year, I decided to start thinking of some new additions to the Roush Edge - Found a new splitter. Wrapped it in Carbon Fiber and added the signature red stripe.

IMG_1422

Having a black hood/carbon fiber hood started to play in my mind so I wrapped the hood in Carbon fiber and replace the Jack Roush decal with a white one.

IMG_1890

Rear diffuser still looking great!!

IMG_1887

Added some more red to the interior. The red on the instrument cover looks really good. Now I feel the interior is complete.

Trunk-Spoiler Wrapped-2

Rear spoiler wrapped in Carbon Fiber with red accent.

Trunk-Spoiler Wrapped

Adding the Carbon Fiber wrapped to the hood and spoiler really helped to break up a lot of the white.

Phase 2 - Full KPMF Matte White Wrap - Feb 2021
IMG_2210

Phase 2 in full swing. Decided to take on the challenge of wrapping the entire car in KPMF matte white. Disassemble of the whole front end is step 1. This will allow for the wrap to be tucked and look really good. Cleaned up AGS as the car has 50K miles on it.

IMG_2207

Radiator now clean and looks very good.

IMG_2208

Another angle on the clean up of the radiator and AGS area.

IMG_2209

Time to start the wrap. No turning back now!!

IMG_2212

Pass View - Matte white installed on whole front bumper. Wrapping the sensors does not effect functionality. As you can see there is an extreme difference in color of the car and the white matte vinyl. This is really going to look good compared to the yellowish tri-coat OEM paint. Paint Is Dead anyways!!

IMG_2214

Front view of bumper wrap.

IMG_2213

Driver side - Bumper wrap.

IMG_2215

Front bumper all trimmed. Looking really good. All corners and folds sealed with clear seal tape for added protection.

IMG_2217

Pass view of trimmed front bumper along with passenger side fender completion.

IMG_2226

Passenger front door wrapped. Door handles did have to come off for the matte door wrap. I decided to wrap the door handles in Carbon fiber. The contrast against the white matte is incredible.

IMG_2228

Driver side rear door is next. Handles are removed and door is prepped and ready to be wrapped. I also removed the black window door sill trim to make it easier to wrap and not have to do so much tuck and trim.

IMG_2229

Passenger side ready as well.

IMG_2231

Inside the hatch view.

IMG_2232

Full disassemble of the rear hatch/gate and rear lower bumper. All lights have been removed.

IMG_2230

Like the front bumper the rear was removed for ease of trimming and wrapping of corners.

IMG_2238

Hatch/Gate and lower bumper all wrapped. Wrapped the area where the switch is in Carbon fiber. Again it really pops out against the white.

IMG_2243

Fast forward a little. Rear Red reflector back installed and bumper/diffuser all tightened down. Rear emblems installed.

IMG_2271

Pass side of graphics

IMG_2269

Full view of side graphics. New hockey stick graphics installed.

IMG_2270

Close up of new graphics.

IMG_2259

Added side decals of the companies that I bought my most important parts from. Thanks to all!!!

IMG_2251

Front end fully assembled. New full Gloss Black Grille, New lower grille with full holes punched out. New OEM DRLS and new Roush Badge.

IMG_2282

Had a decent day so I backed the car out and took a picture of the driver side. More pictures in the coming weeks.

IMG_2250

Front SS-Tuning splitter installed and view of engine compartment. Strut Tower brace, Oil catch can all checked.
