So I figured I would get into this, as next week I have a few big things coming in, so I might as well have a nicely documented area for everything, and so that if anyone is curious, they can see what my car looks like unedited.
Also, the whole "1slofofo" change from adamdv5 (old U/N) is because I saw it somewhere (a small variation) but I loved it, so I had my sister and her bf get me a w/s banner that said it. [thumb]
So of course, first night:
Then a year later, I finally did my first modification, painted my wheel covers graphite gray and took off the dealer frames:
Which also coincided with me getting my Galaxy S3, which meant real good pictures without dragging a camera around.
Then I got this slick third brake light overlay:
The week prior, I carbon fiber wrapped the whiskers (and in between there I got the license plate cover):
Then yellow fogs came from Lamin-x:
And then I stripped 18 of my lug nuts [?|] [?|] so I ran steelies with black Gorilla lugs until I found some oem ones for a decent price.
And then came the two weeks I disliked the car (it was also really shitty weather where the heater on low makes it hot, but with it off you freeze).
But once I found some oem lugs, I was back in business.
And my covers went to a baby blue.
Then came a debadge as well as my first use of a clay bar (coolest thing ever):
And then some pedal covers (and foot rest but no pic on my laptop):
And then my second favorite alteration, the "backwards" racing stripes (white carbon fiber vinyl) which change direction depending on where you look at them from:
Then I redid my stickers to make them more of what the Focus represents in my eyes (great car, but slow):
Three Twenty Decal: confuses the shit out of everyone that sees it lol
Carbon Fiber wrap (had a lot extra) the door handles just to practice:
Better pic of yellow fogs:
Nearly exactly current condition:
Thanks for reading. I'll take constructive criticism but I don't have money to spend too much on mods. That's why nothing performance-wise isn't been done yet. I bought the car in Nov. '11 and did my first modification Sept. '11 when I became relatively active here. Most people recognize my car now, and I have a twin (though totally untouched) on my way to work. But yeah, any suggestions I'll consider.
