I saw a new Edge today with the LEDs, it looked good. I didn't know Ford was doing that with the Edge.

Oh and that spoiler is Ricey. Very Ricey.

I can't make up my mind... if these strip LEDs weren't showing up on every dented up Corolla, it might be more interesting.

Does anyone have one? Are you happy with it?

Yeah but it looks pretty badass in person

Especially on those 22" wheels.

LOL... well... I was trying to be nice in case anyone was using one.

So it's pretty unanimous that this is tacky. I suspected as much. I do like the look of the splitter though. It's fairly subtle unlike the CDC one which looks a bit cartoonish on the 10+ cars, IMO.

Thanks for the link... I will definitely take a look when I'm not on a photobucket-restricted work computer.

The one pic in the thread that I can see looks pretty good though.

I like what Ford is doing a lot with the diffused LED Bars, very classy. I like organic lighting as well. Yeah yeah, I can hear the Tron insults coming but I don't give a ...

personally I love the design..just not the LED part. I'd get it rip out the LEDs and fill the gaps..paint it and slap it on.

I usually live by the premise that if I have to ask if something looks ricey or tacky, then it probably is.

But that's just me.

Aside from the lights being a little ricey, the way it mounts looks bad. If it sat flush on the bottom of the bumper, it might look decent, but since it stands off a bit, having another slatted area up front just makes it too busy.
