I have already pulled the "SE" off with Goof off and it worked like a charm, but was wanting Others' input as to whether or not to do the same to the "Focus" badge, too? I personally like the clean look of no makers' mark, but I kinda feel like I may be subconsciously trying to hide the fact that I'm driving a Focus.....

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If I remember correctly the Kelvin scale refers to heat output, not light output, right? It's been awhile since I had the need to study such things... Also, will have pics of debadging lateron this afternoon, just got home and don't feel like messing w/ the camera yet...

Right it refers to the Temperature of the HID bulb setup. But 5000k and 6000k have the best lumens or light output out of any others. Most aftermarket 6000k are ACTUALLY deemed the same almost as most factory 4300k like the SVT MACH's. So you got a good one. Light output will be great right with 6000k. The reason the 8000k and above get worse is the introduction of color because of temperature vs actual white light being put out.
The 5000k and 6000k are like "sunlight" as they say. But sounds good make sure to get a light throw and cut off pic [
].
And can't wait to see the rear.

Done and done! No clay bar, I dont respect this paintjob enough to bar the car... Maybe AFTER the irridescent titanium jumbo flake clear coat (do They even make that?!?), but I digress...
Enjoy!

You're right, it's not a Honda. It's a POS FoFo SE. Key word, "SE". not RS or SVT. Besides, I was born and raised in Hawai'i and drove ricers most of My life... IMHO the SE is a gutless pile that needs to be taken out back behind the barn and shot. And I certainly don't need any shit for people who think it's cool to talk crap about someone else's car because it doesn't fit Your idea of a Ford. That kiddie shit can go over to FJ, dude. Please, in the future keep Your opinions on Myspace or wherever. I like My fart can. It sounds good and boosts what meager HP I have to begin with.
Also, the "reaction factor", I turn heads, ppl (like You i guess) going, 'is that a Focus?!?WTF!! Rice Focus, dude!' [screwy]

Look dude, you don't need to get so angry about that. He gave you a compliment and all you can find in his statement was "Piece of crap car, RICER!!!" We're just screwing around with you, we don't hate your car. And another thing, if you don't respect the focus, then why be on these forums bashing on it?

sorry, didnt mean to piss up Your flagpole. I get ALOT of crap for ricing out the Focus in the first place (especially on FF, shameful), and THEY aren't joking around. I guess I just took it the wrong way. And if You read some of My other posts, You'd know I do respect the focus, or I !. wouldn't be on FF, and 2. I surely wouldn't put money into My car to make it better. It's a matter of context, i suppose, and I think it's just about impossible to type "in context". Didn't mean to offend, I personally enjoy the challenge of tuning ANY car, and My 'POS SE' as I put it is giving Me alot of love, and quite the challenge...

Look, a fart can isn't my thing, but to each their own. If you like the sound it makes and how it looks, then hey, that's awesome. At least it isn't some huge 6" muffler LOL!

Why anyone asks this question anymore is beyond me...lol
YES!!! DO IT!!! It should be the first mod done, next to the clear turns and chopped antenna []
I do say no to the RS logo. At least untill you do RS the body kit and interior swap. That would be like puting a GTR logo on []
