So my car was starting to look just plain ugly. I had a bunch of different ideas and they were all going in different directions, and the end result was a bit of an eyesore IMO.

Bronze wheels, tinted stock grille, yellow fogs, yellow calipers, oldass rotors [thumbd]

I needed to change gears (no pun intended) and get her look back on track. But I had VERY little cash to spend on it. So I worked my ass off to find some good deals and little touches that would make me happy again, and I have to say I'm pleased with the result.

* Hella Dual Projectors: $60
* BNIB Centric vented rotors: $60
* Tinted SVT Grille: $35
* Tinted Stock Tails: $20
* "Fast" Ford SPAM emblems: $20
* Chrome-painted Calipers: Free
* New FR Triple Gauge Pod: $50
* AFR, Oil, and Voltmeter Gauges: $20

GRAND TOTAL = $265.oo

And the result:

Ta-daa!

I'm much happier now.

Needs lowered more than anything

nice upgrades bro i love those wheels they look nice. what about the lower grill any plans?

 

[BoostinZX3]

Why in the world do you need so much ketchup in a car lol? At least thats what it looks like you have stuffed in the drivers door.

 

[saurin37]

LOL, I know, I'm so ashamed, hehe. It's mostly random receipts that I've been stuffing down there and (lazy me) didn't empty the thing before I snapped a pic

And yes, it could really use a drop, but it's not going to happen until the spring -- I've got a Maine winter coming up pretty soon and the last thing I need is a 4-banger snowplow.

 

[BoostinZX3]

haha it's all good man, your prepared, i'm not

 

[LouBomb]

very nice looks good! thought about tints?

 

[vinnieZTS]

drop and painted mirror caps would look good.

nice work.

very nice looks good! thought about tints?

I'm hoping to get 35% all around after Christmas. The tint laws up here aren't great and that's about all I'd want to risk getting away with.

Ahh Ic... Im Still Looking To Tint My Galant It Looks So Weird Without Em... Here In Springfield, Il They Charge An Arm And A Leg Opposed To Chicago Where Its About 140... Or Cheaper (depending On Percentage And Size)

Looks much better man. I love the hellas in gloss black on a black focus.
I've driven in 2 winters with my 1.8" drop in 6+" of snow, and never had a single issue.
As long as you've got a good set of snow tires, the focus does awsome in the snow, even lowered.
If anything, it does better once its lowered, unless you come up on a foot or more of snow,
but you'd be screwed either way in that case.

 

[trailbikerider]

Agreed on the Hella's. I thought about getting a set and painting them my body color before I got the ones I have now.

 

[louisgab]

nice foci! Your wheels look great!
