Just started posting on here a little more so i figured i would introduce my car. Im usually on the jet but have recently decided to do both.
Here is the way it looked up until this month:
and then....
New Wheels are go! Little different for me, but i like em. I really liked the AR1's but they just wouldn't survive these roads much longer, i already had to get two fixed due to potholes.
18s. I love em. i was looking for a normal 5 star wheel similar to the RS wheels and this is seriously the only wheel that comes close. seems like the wheel market has gone completely gaudy. hardly any simple clean designs anymore
Wow!! The midwing really pulls off the rest of the saleen kit!! I like both sets of wheels. Strangely, I like the ASA's a lil more! Love the interior too, those recaros are so comfy!! I'd say ditch the tacky diamond plated floor mats [wink] A set of SVT Mirrors and Door handles painted to match would really make it nice!
PS: I like how you incorporated the black wheels with the black headlights. A set of black l.e.d. tails would make it pop too! [thumb]
the tacky diamond plate floormats keep my foot from wearing through the floormats like it does in every car haha. I know they arent exactly pretty, but they work great and clean off easy. and no i dont want to spend 100 bucks to get em powdercoated black []
I want the mirrors and a door handles but they are hard to find these days lol at least reasonably priced
Ya actually there is a red one too, i ran into him once at a gas station, talk about weird haha. These are so rare that i never expected to see another here in the KC area, let alone at the same gas station.
Yeah took the vinyl off, didnt like it, just left the saleen bits on the sideskirts. Got the seats on ebay. Ironically i bought the Recaro backseats on ebay for 100 when i had my sedan back in like 2005. Then i got this car in 2007 and then bought the front seats off ebay for 500 bucks. When i got my car it just had normal black leather focus seats, i think the saleen seats were an option my car didnt have. 05 saleen focus came with leather seats with saleen headrests. 04 came with MOMO seats
Welcome to a fellow Saleen owner to the north! Always nice to see another Saleen on here. Like what you've done with it. Was wondering about the seats myself. I like my leather seats with the Saleen headrests, but those look nice too. Did the car have the Saleen wheels when you got it?
Yes! Someone got those wheels. I've been eyeing them for a while now. The only MR116's I've seen on a Focus are 17"s. I agree with you too! They're the closest we're going to get to RS rims.
How about if you were to run 205/40/18. Would you be rubbing then?
looks nice man glad to see your takin good care of her i love rare cars and yours is definetly rare. from wikipedia "There were 200 S121/N2O's produced by Saleen in 2005"
Thanks again guys. Im glad im getting love for it. I got a bit of crap when i first bought it. seems there is a lot of saleen focus hate out there sometimes lol
^^I know what you mean. Well I dont own a Saleen, but I saw this youtube video that was titled "Ricer Focus." it was a Saleen. People just dont know. lol All of the comments were "Thats actually a nice focus."
How could any one hate on a Saleen? It is only cause they want one and can't get one!
