I will always have a soft spot for SPI sedans. Nice car dude. I wish I could have made mine look anything close to that when I had it.

Yes, go for the SAP diffuser! Instead of doing what you are planning, wouldn't it be easier tho cut the top half of the 1st gen bumper and mate it to the bottom half of the SAP? disciplerocks did it to a front bumper:

that's genious. how did he clean it up that well? bondo work?

while i like the car, i dont like the SVT badge. it isnt an SVT, therefore, no reason to have the badge. theres an 08 focus rollin around here somewhere with an SVT badge on it and id love to slap em.
