lol guys. The centers ARE painted...silver! But I will be taking car of that soon and painted them the color of the spokes. Thanks for the complements. The handling improvement? Hard to say, because the stock tires are seriously taxed now, Ill wait till I get the kdw's before I comment. Thanks for the nice replies, its hard to get postive foci comments around here  He he

JohnNot for a while, Im tired of having my ride in the shop all the time, and I would have to get the holes filled and painted if I did. Im trying to stay away from doing much more cause I like it as is, but its hard, you know how it is!

Very nice. The wheels and stance are right, but you're still missing the biggest thing a Focus owner can do to improve the looks.... Headlights!!! Please tell me they're going to be switched out... Please? It would even look so much better with a Hightower headlight treatment...

I hope that your 2.5L/3.0L idea is just that, an idea. Do you know the reason why Ford pulled the 2.5 SVT Duratec out of the Focus? Because it wouldn't pass a crash test head on... The motor is too big and intrudes into the passenger compartment. Well, if you like a Duratec in your lap after a crash.. Go for it! I could think of 1001 ways to modify the Zetec for more power than the Duratec could put out.. But that is just an idea of course.
Good luck on your new toy, Hopefully you'll never get in an accident if you do what you plan.
