I have a few major things to take care of in preparation for FocusFest 2013! Thankfully, it's still a long way out, so I should have enough time to get my car ready! Sadly, I will not be re-painting my car - I am going to just paint the bumper. I need to put some money aside to make it to the event! So for now, my car will be a "10 foot" car [hihi]

I got the Massive install kit for my custom shaved Contour VC today! It includes the Massive oil cap, hardware kit and a Fel-pro gasket.






I am also painting the mounting bracket for an Ingalls stiffy mount that I will be installing this weekend.

Thanks!!!

I wasn't able to get as much done to the bumper as I wanted to. After I cut some SVT honeycomb and wired the Euro fogs, it started raining. So this will go on first thing in the morning[headbang]

Before


After I had to drill a hole, then dremeled it to give it a nice finished look.


It's all about the little details [8D][/QUOTE]

where did you get those caps i need some!!!

Fairing came in today! Thanks stealthzx3[headbang]




I can't put my antenna back on, I do have room to adjust the fairing, so I might play with it some more - or I might just leave the antenna off

I really like roof racks with fairings. One other thing, and this is just my opinion, I don't think the SVT skirts flow well with the euro bumpers. I don't like those skirts on any Focus, but its worse with the smoothness of the euro look.
