Hey everybody! I've been lurking around the forums for a while now so I decided I should introduce me, but I really just wanted to post some pics of my car. It was such a nice day, I couldn't resist, but get my butt off the computer and go outside.

Anyhoo, my name is Dave and I'm 19 years old and going to school for interactive multimedia. I am not a spoiled brat, I am paying out of the ass for this car while I pay for my college. I have little money left over from each month to spend on new toys for my car and my weird addiction to Japanese rock music (J-Rock.)

My car is a 2002 Focus ZX5. I got it about half a year ago and I didn't know much about the Focus, but I had a Escort ZX2 and it was giving me problems so I took to the shop. It was gonna cost over 1,700 to fix it all which I knew it was a highly exagerated lie, but I decided that it would cost more to fix the car than it was worth so I'd get a new car. I had a dream that night of a black Ford Focus, so I went out and got one the next day. Needless to say, I fell in love with the car and became a fanatic. I first got some APC tail lights and then I found this forum. It helped me pick out which clear corners I wanted (even if the Starburst don't seem to be the most popular) which I just recently bought. I also used this forum to cut about 11 inches off the horribly long antenna.

This is the first car I want to mod so the mods come slowly as I learn. I am smart when it comes to cars. I only know the basics, but I learn fast.

It's weird how half of my car is clean and the back end is pretty dirty. I didn't even notice those handprints on the trunk. GEEZ!
[confused]

My next projects are painting the calipars and drums and then to Nightshade the orange signals in the front.

I don't understand how my tails could be considered rice, but that's okay to have an opinion. I think the lights do look weird on a lot of colored cars. Like I've seen my tails on a blue car and it looks kind of dumb, but I think they compliment my car because it's black. I don't think I would Nightshade them because I don't want my whole car to be black, I want contrast.
 
As long as you are ok with riding in your car everyday then go with it...i think the lights look good and a little contrast is always good....BTW [welcome]

thanks everybody for your comments. It feels good to be welcome somewhere. I feel so alone being a Focus Freak because everybody around me either doesn't like cars or are into extremely expensive cars. I just they just don't see the potential that the Focus has. Sure it's not a speed demon, but it has massive amounts of style, which is about 70% of what a car should be in my eyes.

Yeah, I dig my car, so that's all that matters.
 
I don't think I've ever seen a 5 door in Pitch Black either on here!

Looks good so far. I have always thought clear corners look good on the darker colors.

Happy modding!
 
not a big fan of the taillights... they look like your car has a disease or abnormal growth or something...

but big ups for paying for things yourself.
