This month we are taking nominations for:

I LOVE RARE PARTS

Rare parts are a good find. If you own any rare parts on your Focus, then you can be nominated for ROTM.

Examples of rare parts accepted for this month will be:

-parts not being manufactured any longer.
-custom made parts.
-parts rarely seen on a Focus.

Please post a photo of your rare part(s) and also try include a photo of your whole car as well.


Please state if you are nominating a member with 'I am nominating ______' and please don't post in here multiple times the member you have already nominated. It makes it hard to try to keep track on how many nominations that person gets. Also refrain from posting off-topic replies in here also. They make it hard to sift through everything and also clutter up the thread. Off-topic posts WILL BE DELETED.

You will need 500 posts to be nominated.

When I saw the topic for this month I was a little concerned. Some parts out there are rare because nobody wanted to spend money on ugly stuff. Thankfully the majority posted up so far have not fallen into that category.
