I'm surprised no one mentioned the fuzzy dice! Yikes, those things bring about visions of curb feelers, spring shackles, Keystone Klassics, and Thrush muffler stickers! 
FSVT wheels would be great, but try '01 Focus 16" rims(probably could find those cheap). Lose the door ding strips, get a SVT grill or install mesh in yours, clear the corners and put clear parking light bulbs, etc. Don't have to spend a lot to get it looking good! Heck, taking off the Kid Rock plate and ditching the dice costs nothing!

Old Focus rims show up on eBay all the time(that's where I got mine, three years ago). You can also check local wrecking yards. The Ford dealer is also a source, but be ready to pay out the wahzoo. Door ding strips are those things on the middle of all four doors, supposedly there to protect the paint from other people's doors. They are stuck on with adhesive, just pull off and clean off the residue afterwards. Just be careful though, as some repair shops simply tape off the strips, and paint around, or use them as delineation points for painting a partial panel. If your car has not had any body repairs, you should be in pretty good shape.

I think him and I are they only two CEG'er left with the ding strips still on. Iâ??m hesitant to remove them because they have prevented so many dings at the school parking lot, but there still were some that couldnâ??t be avoided

These are the wheels I mentioned:  It would give your car a bit better look & 15" tires are relatively cheap...
