Didn't see one of these yet. I just bought mine but havn't actually taken delivery of it yet. It is a 2011 SES 4door in Blue Flame Metallic with the lighter interior. I'll be sure to update my post with pictures when I get it. When you post put your mods before your first picture so we know what you have done. Look forward to seeing everyone's car's and am really looking forward to actually getting my car!!

I like the look of the Carbon Fiber Dash Kit.

I think it looks really cheap. (shrug)
It might look better if the paint on the rest of the dashboard was finished better, but as-is it just gives a really cheap look.
It's unfortunate because you've obviously spent money to make your dash look that way.
I'd recommend having your dash pieces professionally painted to match the glossy sheen of the CF or have them done in a smooth satin. Right now its kind of a blotchy, textured semi-gloss and it's fighting for attention from the CF pattern.

I agree with MAC a vinyl wrap on the side pieces would do wonders. Or the rest CF styled.

The front is easy all you have to do is replace the rotor and caliper. The rear will take a little more work but still be fairly easy. I replaced the rear with rear brakes from a 2006 Focus ST. I would go with the SVT kit but I don't want to limit myself on wheel sizes

Here's my Focus. Just downgraded from a 2012 Mustang 3.7L but I'm enjoying the Focus so far. No mods yet but I've already got the Steeda short shifter and a Blox Racing Type-R shift knob on my list.

I thought about going with the wrap but could never get it to look right on the center piece of the dash. So far im pretty satisfied on how it looks. The pics really don't do it justice. Plus real cf just looks so much better than the wrap.

I made the same "downgrade." I loved that 3.7 but the rest of the car was rather uninteresting.
