The only Ford I currently own, till I finally get a Mustang

All cleaned up today, no tire shine in the car so I had to skip that step ... lol

Let me know what you think

Looks good I have a 09 and like the change to the dark grill.

Jrpalmer

Looks good. I like red I wish I got it. I have an 05 mustang gt. And a 2011 focus it's blue though. Where'd you find the black rims? How much?

Gabe

Thanks man, it's a factory piece, they normally install them on the 09-11 SES models.
Same with the dark-tinted headlamps/tails

Thanks man. Red was my Mom's choice, the car was hers originally.
I kept it after she passed away in October 2010, after a long-fought battle with cancer.
Was originally going to sell it, but couldn't bring myself to get rid of it, she loved it too much and kinda feel that a part of her is still around by keeping the car.
So I decided to do a few things to it to make it more "me", so tinted windows and the tinted head/tail-lamps and the dark grille were the first things to do.
Then came the suspension mods, and the Motegi MR116 rims which I got right off Tire Rack.
I think the rim/tire/sensor package was about $1100-$1200 shipped, if I remember right.

It needs a Boss stripe!

watchdevil

Now why would you wanna cover up one of the best features of the car!

Gabe

Lol, there's actually kits available that kinda look like the Boss stripe:





Well, the Ford badges are HUGE and blue, which doesn't match the red/black theme of the car, so I want to cover up at least the back badge with a black overlay, and a skull just seems right

Sorry to hear that. I wouldn't sell either. Thanks for the info I'm thinking about doing a couple of things to mine. Not much just enough to make it look a little more sporty

Cool stuff.

Rims work well.
It's petty, but an exhaust tip. OEM or aftermarket probably just a slip over would work just to clean it up.


Oh- and Tire shine!

Nice car, I love Focus SE.

I just prefer a 2 door.

Is it manual or automatic?

JerseyGT

Diggin the rims man. I miss my focus!

Thanks guys

The car is an automatic (unfortunately) as my Mom didn't know how to drive manual trans.

A black exhaust tip will eventually find its way onto the back of this little car

And as far as tire shine, if I had some with me, there'd be some on the tires ... lol

Gabe

Went out a little while ago and finally installed the painted door handle covers and the gloss-black pillar covers.

Oh, and bought some tire shine

Jrpalmer

Looks great! I really like the gloss black pilar covers nice addition

Gabe

Thanks, once I saw them on another Focus, I knew that I'd have to have them

Wasn't sure how I was gonna install the driver's door piece since I have the sunvisor installed on there, but today's odd 85-degree heat warmed everything up nicely so I was able to lift up the visor and not damage the tape under the corner, apply the pillar cover, then re-stick the visor down, onto the cover.

Came out great

Looks nice Gabe.

Gabe

Thanks Dave

Looking good, nice clean mods.

Gabe

Thanks man ...

BTW, that's one freaky avatar pic ... lol
