Cool, I need to redo mine like that! What are those parts called? And where do you find something like that?

Galvanized Cable (1/8"), Cable Crimps, wire shrink tubing, and the loop is called a cable thimble. All of these things you could get from any hardware store.

Truck looks great! I really like the charge cord idea!

Black certainly presents itself well, doesn't it? The red accent sets it off.

Thanks @5LEETR , make sure to check out the charge cord relocation thread. Lots of great examples in it.

Love black for my vehicles. Pain in the butt to keep nice, but so worth it when clean. For the side badges I actually wouldn’t mind getting them painted. I think magma on black would be amazing (in the sunshine)

I'd bet Magma would look very good. Sounds like an email to mbullock is in order.

Im the type that doesn’t know where to draw the line, if I get my badges custom painted. I’d have to do front and rear ovals as well, and mirror caps, and bumper caps, and interior pieces. . . I’m sure you can relate. Lol

Truck is back at the shop getting fixed up (hopefully). Got a loaner Edge from the dealership. Although its better than the bright blue fusion I got a couple of weeks ago, still not my cup of tea.

Last time the truck was in they fixed the rattling Pano roof, as well as corrected the dash that was installed incorrectly from the dealership, **not related to the warped dash issue**. Although they acknowledged the TSB 18-2354 for engine noise on decel/accel, said they also needed to order and change parts which were attributing to the problem. Which is why shes still there. Fingers crossed on the outcome.
