Ah, no worries, just passing on some of the info I have learned.

I didn't even get a warning when I got pulled over, I was getting onto the freeway and was on the gas a little heavy to get over and a bike cop was 2 car lengths behind me on the freeway. Apparently there was a 700 GXR directly behind me on the on-ramp and he thought I was trying to race it....

Really?!

Anyway he didn't even get off the bike, just rolls up and asks, "Were you trying to race that motorcycle?" I said no sir and he says "Well it looked like you were swerving a little back there, don't do it again." And takes off, leaving me befuddled on the shoulder of US 59.

So you revved your engine and raced the cop, right? :)

VonKrause your car looks amazing with the coupe bumpers.
I really like the light blue color of your car.

As far as de-badge goes, to me the F O C U S in big block letters look out of place on the back of our cars. The old first gen and new '12+ Focus script letters look way better and flow with the lines of our cars better. just my .02c

The whole reason this started was because they guy said that everyone can tell it's a Focus. Which today I was asked what car it was.
dude that sucks i had a bethal park cop pull me over for tint, i had 15% whatev, i can see threw them when im outside, but i didnt get a warning it was remove the front side windows or pay 210 a window so 420 total, needless to say i removed it and then put it back on the next day and got pulled over again, same cop too lol, now im riding with the back windows tinted and the fronts not lol

I got a $111 citation. I'm leaving them on... If I get busted again, I will take it off, then take the ticket to the station and say "I took it off, i'm not paying this" It works. My buddy did it. Then I will go get 35% on my front 2 windows.

The worst part is you can see in my car perfectly fine with the 20% now.
