I purchased the Thule kit that's sold by Ford dealers, you'll find it on accessories.ford.com as Racks and Carriers by THULE - Removable Roof Rack, Aeroblade at $485. It's a complete set with four different items: Load bar, Foot Pack,Fit Kit, and locks. I put a big roof box on it before a 3800+ mile road trip this summer, and it stayed secure the whole trip. I did create a couple of scratches inside my door well before I understood how these were supposed to go on, but other than that they worked flawlessly. You can hear a little whistling as you cruise 80mph on Idaho and Utah freeways if you keep the sliding cover for your moonroof open. Yes, these are expensive, but I more than made up for it in gas savingsby taking this road trip in my FFE instead of the minivan.

Congrats on the new ride, she's a beauty! The parking assist can be a bit unnerving the first time, it will fit in a much tighter space than I would try on my own and I've taken advantage of that several times in the three weeks since I picked up mine. Basically, I can't see the rear left corner of the car in front of me as I back in, so I'm putting my faith in the car at that point.

Lucifer, I really like the look of those headlight assemblies. Were you able to get it working, do you have any pictures and/or details to share with us?
