So I was on my way home and noticed that the construction workers were leaving from the Town home construction site, and it's not blocked off in any way so I thought, "Car is dirty, photo op?" So I pulled in real fast took three quick pics and ran off. Got home and noticed I caught the rare thumb creature on film and couldn't see it in the sunlight... So ignore that and here is car.

Looks good man. Been a while since you've posted up. Are you back on springs and shocks? I think I read somewhere that you took the DGR's off but maybe i'm just having trouble remembering.
 
Yea, I am on the Eibach 2 inch drop and stock struts. Hated giving up coils but had to since it's my daily and I don't have the money to fix it correctly. I plan to go back but money is a serious issue this year.

Been a while since picture posting since I haven't done anything to it really, been doing a lot of lurking and no posting. On every day scoping it out though.
 
Black center console, adrst2.3's SMD conversion for me in red. Keep in mind this is a day time picture, these lights are BRIGHT. And also keep in mind, this is a cell phone camera.

Went for a walk with the puppy this evening:

This pic would have been great if it caught it how my eyes saw it. Damn you cell phone camera.

ah ok.

I know what you mean though. trying to find new ideas and what not.
 
If you de-badged an Ascari KZ-1 that theory would work...

But if you de-badge a Focus, you're likely parked next to another one when you go -literally- anywhere in North America, so you're not fooling anyone.

I think the long & short of it is that if you wanted a special car that no one would recognize, you should have bought one.

OBVIOUSLY you can do whatever you want with your car, but trying to pass it off as stealth or ambiguous is really silly in my opinion. Disassembling, filling, shaving, priming, painting, and reassembling the trunk lid just to remove the Ford emblem is a lot of work for a modification with zero substance. I'd suggesting putting your effort elsewhere like a tune or decent suspension setup... You'd enjoy them more and you wouldn't have any reservations about doing them like you are having with this trunk dilemma.
Going on this old quote, I am proud to say there are 36 Focus's in my smaller sized apartment complex (maybe 400 units) 28 of them are 08-11, and only one other SES lol lots of SE's
