OH GOD, paint that grill!
 
Hahaha as long as it's getting done. I drove with my front end looking just like that for a few months, and it drove me insane!

Seeing this picture of my car makes me cringe when I look at the grill:

actually I like it with the chrome grill. I think it ties in well with the wheels. I would just smoke the front badge and leave the rest. Nice ride!


Ewww, only if you like [popcorn]popcorn[popcorn] flavored cotton candy.

I couldn't STAND the chrome after my first car mod

That just did NOT go well together, hell looking back I can't believe it didn't cross my mind that it looked bad... It looks terrible now.
 
Agreed!

2011SE did you paint your grille or do what I did and buy the SES one from Ford?
 
I painted mine. Took me a few tries before I found the paint I really liked, but now I know!

Primer -> Rustoleum Gloss Black Enamel -> LOOOOOOTS of Clear

Nice, and it looks great! I couldn't tell if it was paint or not, good job. [woot]
 
@VonKrause.....could you take a pic of the underside of your hood? Im strongly thinking about getting that hood and fabricating into the intake but I wanna know if/what I would have to work with on the underside of that BEAST....thanks

From what I hear they have stopped production on this hood, but you can still find it on different parts of the internet. So if you want it hurry up cause there aren't going to be anymore
 
Here is the one thing holding back an awesome look(= this is my car, check out the pillars and door handles. notice no more abs ugly black? (;
Image
how'd you do that?
 
Holding up great! And no I went the easy fast and highly affective way haha. You can't hardly paint the abs plastic due to it's texture even with adhesion promoter. Here's how I did it. Go to eBay, buy the chrome door handle cover paint them with primer then gloss black and as much clear coat as you want till you get your desired color. I don't know how many coats of clear I put on but it was at least 4. As for the pillars it's the simplest thing ever and it makes the biggest difference ever on a focus, it's as simple as this, there are piano black pillar covers made by cf design on eBay:) they look awesome and they are very solid and have not faded, scratched or anything yet:) here's a price point of view on the mod. Every body shop I went to was going to charge at least 250 just to paint door handles and that would require me buying the primer ones form ford which would be another 200 or so. So your looking at at least 250 total if you painted them yourself or excess of 400 done by a shop just for the door handles! Cost of the handle covers-$40 :) paint primer and clear was about 25. So I have 65 in the handles and the awesome pillar covers are only 38 shipped!
