After nearly 4 months of tolling, searching, waiting (mostly associated with another brand), I embarked upon a journey of sorts with a Lincoln dealer just shy of 2 weeks ago and took delivery of my brand spanking new Midnight Sapphire MKC yesterday: Sands Expresso interior, premium Reserve 102A & tech packages, THX upgrade, 19" wheels. The delivery was an event as I spent nearly 6 hrs at the dealership & it was well worth it. I'm sooo happy with my choice thus far...so much to go over and try. I'll return to the dealer next week for a more in-depth indoctrination and some accessorizing (tint, chrome accents, Xzilon protection, mud flaps.

Congrats! Your MKC looks great.

We installed the Lincoln mud flaps last week and we're very happy with how they look on our MKC.

She's a real beauty!! You're gonna love her.

We had to go back to the dealership for our tech orientation too.

If you wouldn't mind, please add a customer signature with the details of your MKC and the build date which can be found at the middle/bottom of your window sticker. Thanks

Congrats on getting an MKC!

What vehicles have you owned in the past and what other vehicles were you looking at before getting the MKC?

Thanks. Other brands I've owned beyond my current ownership include: Mercury & Hyundai...about 11 or so total vehicles. Well I have a Lexus NX F Sport on special order that I'm waiting confirmation on cancellation. I also considered the BMW X3, Audi Q5, Acura RDX, Cadillac SRX, Nissan Murano, and checked out the Porsche Macan, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, Jeep Grand Cherokee & Cherokee, GMC Terrain, Chevy Equinox, Subaru Forester, Ford Edge and maybe another or so that I forgot. I've been busy over the last 4-5 months. :wink

Please post a pic with the mud flaps? I really want to see how they look & are different from the standard flaps that came on mine before I up the $ for some. Thanks, in advance.

Don't mind atall! LOL! I have more pics. These are before I got her tinted. I've got some other things in the works also. There appears to be a lack of pic posted and I don't get it....other forums/sites have members posting plenty.

When are you getting yours and what are you getting (color combo, options, engine)?

I appreciate the pics. So were just rear ones added? In the front I just saw the lil one in front of the front tire that comes standard...not even sure if it's considered a mud flap.

Killing me with that, pretty much what I would choose. Nice. I have 2.3L and have had 2.0 's as a loaners. Not to knock anything (I am super jealous) but I really really like the upgraded engine. But that's me, I like power and speed and after coming off a Cadillac SRX that took off when I hit the pedal I am so glad I went with the 2.3L. Good luck with it!

I understand about that engine. I thought I might want the 2.3L but the hubby TOLD me I really didn't need it. He was probably thinking, if I felt all that POWER, more tickets more problems. LOL This will be my first SUVish vehicle. Hubby has a BMW X5 and I've been a Lexus lover for a couple of my cars (currently have ES330). I looked at the NX 2000 F Sport, but WHEW! with all the options I wanted, it still didn't make me SWOON like this MKC.

We installed front and read mud flaps. I've uploaded a new profile photo to the garage that depicts both front and read flaps.

The small flap that you see in front of the tire is not a mud flap but it is an air dam.

You've raised the bar for modifications on the MKC!

We really like your use of chrome. The blackout look is popular but we like your chromed version of the MKC even better.
