Well, I finally painted my grille flat black. I was too lazy and only plasti-dipped it though, along with the rear emblem. I tried it on the "FOCUS" lettering but it didn't come out so hot. So I just took them off. Here are some pics, oh and yes the car is filthy.[shhh]
There ain't no shame in plastidipping things, it's easy fast and looks great, also looking good
 
Speaking of Plasti Dip, I went one step further with the idea that my car is a giant robot and painted this on the hood using a stencil I made...

Thanks! I'm interested to see how it holds up over the next few days.
 
i was just going through some older pics of the 2008's from before they were released.

im seeing two things that Ford changed. let's see if you can too:

foglights and the center display having more options than what we have.

i may be wrong, but i think the 08's didnt have the white faced guages

yeah the 08's had them but some of the fonts were smaller than the 09s and up. on this preproduction model the speedometer is in 10mph increments instead of the 5mph increments that we have.
 
Also there is no antenna on the car, it's missing!

Look in the second pic. It's there, just thinner.

Personally, I'm using a stubby antenna, only about 3" long ... yes, I have a stubby and am proud of it [:)]

And yes, I cleaned off that wax residue a long time ago [;)]

I can't wait to get my fofo up to the awesome level of some of these. :D I'll have to start taking pics now since I have only tinted the windows. Take pics after each upgrade as well.

Also: Def the fog lights and middle screen, as well as the dash. :p I love our white with the blue lights, great change imo.
 
Do any of them have the dash like that. Like how the silver goes all the way across? My panel with the FOCUS engraving and the dash pieces are not silver to match the radio/center console.
ive been noticing that the last few days also. some people actually have silver all the way across ive seen many pics on here. i too have the black on the sides where it says focus

Yeah i think the SES have it all the way across. I just have the SE with the boring grey interior. I actually have those pieces wrapped in 3M dinoc Carbon Fiber a buddy gave me right now. [giddy]

But I would much rather have the silver all the way across
