I finally have the exterior of the car just how I want it. I do still have the 18" Team Dynamic wheels for shows, but I really like these wheels. They took me 3 years to pick out for my old Focus and I think they look even better on this car. Anyways, here is the car, I just detailed it last night so it's absolutely spotless.

The Foglights are covered in blue LaminX, headlights are a blue coated bulb which is reflected in the prism


The tint is a mix of 20% black and 20% silver, which matches the liquid grey almost perfectly


After debating it for a few months, I'm keeping the doors. I'm a whore and they attract lots of attention


The trees are Vanilla and Coconut, try it




Here you can see just how much of a difference a little color can make to the car


The mighty Zetec... 65mmTB, SVTMAF, 4-1 header, 2.5" Magnaflow (no cat), Pulleys, cam gears, screamn' deamon coil and wires, SCT Xcal2 tuned for 91 octane. The shop in town that last tuned the car tells me it puts 155hp to the front tires. Roush turbo will bump that by about 100hp...




The car is lowered 2 inches, and has upgraded sway bars front and rear. It does not clear a Pepsi can and has almost no lean in the corners


The tails are the other major love it or hate it about the car. I love them but they do sway from the original style of the car.


I'm still debating painting the side and rear moldings. PIA to keep black but I like the contrast. SVT Focus brakes are in the works. The side skirts are RS replica skirts by ICC Tuning.


4 coats Yellow, 4 coats NXT, 1 coat spooge


The wheels are 17"x7.5" Hotwheels Redlines. They are flat black with a machined lip. I want to take them in and have the lip polished, as well as the black area near the spokes.


Grille is off an ST170 from Europe


The rear bumper is a standard Euro rear from 1999. Tires were under $90 each and are exceptional in wet conditions. treadwear is fantastic as well.


The bumper is an RS Collection front from europe with Hella Magic Module signals to match the rear tails. The wing is an RS wing from Europe


Finish it off with an ass shot


Comments welcome as always

Hot focus . I like the 17s but I think the 18's look alot better on that car, the 17s seem to look too small, thats just my opinion tho and the car looks great either way.

I'm actually debating selling the 18s and going with a set of 20s for shows. Something BBSish with lots of spokes to clean, that and lots of dish...

BBS= yes; 20's on a focus= no... even for shows- your car is a subtle tuned car with subtle yet noticable mods, keep it that way please- it's working out just fine haha

I couldn't agree more. That is one dead sexy focus... If I had bought one of those... those mods are pretty much exactly what I would do to the focus... I love suble yet noticeable mods... that car looks CLASSY.

looks v nice, similar style to modded foci here in the uk, (probably the fact you have euro panels and grill) have you thought about a rear disc conversion?
