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 want to see pictures of your car Focus on Me . It looks sweet as hell. I've searched though your post to find pictures but didn't find many.

Not much to see, really.. Been tying my money up buying DJ equipment, so I haven't bought the halos, which make black look just so much better, or put those sportlines on, which I need to find when I am ready to put them on.. Lol. Somewhere in the garage.. But I digress!

Thanks man, so does yours. Do you have any videos of your car with the nitrous in use?

Ha. Yeah, I'm working up to that too. It's a whole $400 to get it painted to match, so I'm probably going to get the majorly damaged parts of my car touched up at the same time (bugs baked into the bumper, followed by being pelted by rocks from a rock truck) which is gonna make it a nice sized bill. Not the highest priority, but if I ever can't stand to look at it like this anymore (it's got a few scratches that I've learned to ignore) I'll get it painted..

Nope, I have only hit a few times on my old kit, which I sold on here. I just picked this kit up about a week ago but it was a dry kit. I paid 80$ for it though which is why I am setting back up for nitrous. I have the nozzle's, both solenoids, all wiring. I am just going to take my time putting it all in and run a fuel pressure safety and a window switch. Two things I did not run last time. A 40-50 shot goes a LONG ways in these cars.

Funny thing is one time I ran it I ran against one of these Stangs (SN95) and ran a 15.5XX and he ran like a 15.6-15.7 I can't quite remember but when I picked up my slip the guy at the booth was chuckling pretty hard. I ran the bottle till it was empty which was only like 4 runs, I don't know how full it was when I got it.
Not trying to down talk my work from my original kit, but it was rigged pretty awful, lucky I didn't screw anything up. This time I am going to do it right, take my time, sink a little extra money and hopefully get better out comes.
Lowering Springs = 100$Yeah, I just did a quick lazy price check on changing the wheels, hood, headlights and adding fog lights at CarID.com and it was about $2500
SVT Wheels = 100$
Tires (bought today) = 280$ installed
Just saying...
You have to look and be patient, have money ready and jump on the deals. As I stated above I just bought a complete dry kit, with a full bottle of nitrous for 80$. Keep your eyes peeled it will pay off.

This. My priorities have changed so frequently by finding deals on things. My wheels were on clearance and I jumped on them. Hood was a rare find, jumped on it. Header (still sitting in my closet) was practically half price and brand new from someone on here. Not installed yet, but one more piece of the puzzle!

Craigslist and junk yards. I don't use eBay, not for any reason, just don't. There is also a Focus Parts Forsale page on FB.

Oh yeah, I've heard about that FB page. I don't have FB so never gave it a second thought, but I typically look for deals on here and Craigslist. Got my Sportlines on Craigslist for $100.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, I'm cussing myself out right now, because I just checked the BST section and saw that PSUrive had halos AND HIDs for .... $60!!! OBVIOUSLY they sold shortly after, but dammit!

Butt shots. I hate how big they made the trunks of these cars, I get why they did it, but I still hate it.
