I've also got an '04 Edge. Here's some of what I've done that you might try. I had a silver stripe painted down the middle (hence the name "The Skunk") and had a Skunk decal made for the tailgate. I put in a billet grill, carpets, cut the valence to accept 4 additional driving lights, installed an Explorer overhead console and leather seats from an '04 Altima. Since the Altima seats did not allow me to put in an Explorer center console, I decided to build a custom 2-piece center console. The front piece that attachés to the dash is completed except for the face plate that contains 3 chrome toggle switches and two 2" gauges (oil pressure and voltmeter). The rear part of the console will have a storage compartment and cupholders front and rear. When I'm finished, I will update my gallery. Good luck.

Is it single cab or x-cab? I've got two 12s stuffed behind my seats in my single cab. I hit 142dB the other day. You might want to go that route. Look at my signature for some ideas. I've got everything done on the stereo. Btw, I just ordered the Alpine KCA-420i to hook my iPod up to my Alpine HU through the Ai-Net. You're lucky you found me, I'm Alpine everything. Besides my subs.... (Type-S are too deep) Which HU are you using? Projector headlights and front clear corners would be sweet.

Lol, sounds like we need to be asking you on what to do next! You should get some pics so we can take a look. I would like to hear what you think about the 9857. I think it should be the same as mine, but without the Glidetouch bar. I've got the 9855.
