http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P7PE36 The edges are paper. I had to tear about one inch off of each end on one side to slip it into position. It is a very simple 5 minute install and just throw away the egg crate plastic piece originally installed at factory.

I ordered a charcoal filter from Amazon and installed it today. Thanks for the tip on this.

Well, I own an E320, C-6 Corvette, 72 Dodge Charger with modern drivetrain, 02 Suburban, a 89 K-5 Blazer and a motorhome that gets 7 mpg. So, this new TC isn't my only ride but certainly is great for what I bought it for. Mileage, hauling light loads, roomy for 4 and plenty of power for interstate travel. I would love a diesel and manual 5 speed and would do the conversion if could aquire the parts. However, until then, or until ford offers it here, I will be happy with this one. I installed a charcoal filter in the fresh air intake today, and huskey floormats to protect the front carpets. New wheels should be in tomorrow so a little dress up on the exterior is coming soon.

I first noticed a TC about two months ago while traveling. Then once I researched them and started looking around, I found there were many around me. I live in Pigeon Forge, Tn and several companies here use them for mobil billboards advertising their business. I have a need to haul sound and timing equipment to events I hold across the country and the more I looked the more a TC seemed to meet my needs. I found a 2011 XLT wagon with 11,5K miles at a dealership 100 miles away. After a test drive, I knew it was a good fit. I picked the TC up last Tuesday night, drove it to Hernado, Fl. (650miles) the next day. Got 25 mpg, hauled windows, tools and luggage just fine. Power is fine for a 2.0 liter, wasn't expecting a speed demon. Ride is very good, radio is a bit weak and ended up at local dealership getting low tire sensors reset, but overall, I am very happy with my new workhorse. This is my first front wheel drive, my first 4 cylinder, and some friends can not believe I am driving it, but I have to say, I am very much impressed with the new Ford.
