Aw, I'm not that bad of a guy, really. I just enjoy facts and since most of what I read around here is assumptions and hearsay, I have to go hunting for facts and bring everyone back to the real world.

Speedometers are not accurate. there can be an 8-10% error at high speeds
GPS units are not accurate. They calculate position vs time elapsed. If there is any interference at all between receiver and satellite, the position will be incorrect and the speed will not be accurate.

Do I believe you went 'fast' in your focus, yes. Anyone with half a brain can mash their foot down and go fast. Do I believe you went 140+mph fast in your Focus? Not at all. Not even close. I'd maybe believe 130, tops but never would I believe more than that without some major power adder involved or you know, proof.

PSUrivie, I believe our row was based on an argument that the oversized drinks tray you've mounted on the bottom of your bumper was somehow reducing drag and improving MPG. I presented you (and everyone) with some facts about simple aerodynamics and if you want to ignore me go right ahead and keep believing what you want.

Now, lets all shake hands and get back to the photos, huh? [:)] I love you guys, you're my best friends.
I must have missed this post and I'm glad I did. You're an ass.

Had to move it was starting to get wet inside the car.
 
crice Ive been meaning to ask you, where did you get the front lip of the kit in sterling grey like that? i looked on their site but apparently, they dont even offer it in that color
 
WOAH! GO.army.1969 is everything ok on the fofo? It didn't get water logged or anything did it? Insane amounts of water, I am now used to it, it's rained heavy everyday here for the last 10 days. I had 2 inches of standing water in my front, back yards, and 3 inches in my driveway. Ground is so wet it can't go anywhere.
 
This is about as much rain water as I get to play in. I try not to drive in any heavy rain in Vegas as everything tends to flood instantly.

You have to purchase the unpainted one and have it painted. I came in possession of about 10 of the 3dcarbon kits a while back and pieced out several of them and decided to keep the lip. 3D Carbon no longer makes anything for our gen and what warehouses have is what they have. The reason I got so many kits for very very cheap, is because the Dallas Warehouse for FORD was clearing out all of their kits for our gen.. I also got several of the trunk organizers and the lighted door sills. I sold off what I didn't use just to pass the savings to other members.

Parts for our gen are about to become quite rare because from a business sense it would be stupid for a manufacture to produce alot of aftermarket parts for a car model that was only sold 3 years. the way they see it there is a very small aftermarket for our cars because most bought it for fuel savings and economical aspect and would not want to purchase aftermarket parts anyways. There were almost a million of the 08-11 focus sold and produced. But in reality out of that less than 5000 will care to modify the car...
