Edgar's 2012 Hatch *Wheels Update*

So this is going to be the thread I'll update anytime I do any mods to my car. There aren't a lot of mods I want to do but I'll post any here.
First Mod was changing the stock low beams to philips crystal vision. I had HIDs on my old car for 3 years, so the stock halogens were defintaly not enough. I think these will do nicely, I just hope I dont have to change them multiple times a year. Crappy cell Phone pics but here they are

The only other mods I have in mind are:

Rims

Window Tint

Upgraded Hi beams

Yellow fog light armor from this site:
http://www.headlightarmor.com/12-ford-focus-foglight-protection-kit.aspx

Maybe better door speakers

I want a K&N CAI, but want to see how it affects car performance and MPG (once they start making one of course) Might just go with a drop in filter

and maybe the exhaust, I dont want anything "ricer" sounding

Nice thread, Edgar.

I would also like yellow fogs, but the heat thing worries me... especially when the link above has the quote "We also suggest turning you fog lights off while you vehicle is stationary stuck in stop and go traffic for example."

Perhaps yellow/orange bulbs of same wattage as original would be better, though I don't know where you get them.

man where is the LOL emoticon when you need it? I am going to assume you missed that he lives in the Peoples Republick of Kalifornia, one of the most mod unfriendly states on the planet.

That is not to say you're not right however, blacked out would look awesome especially with 20% tint all the way around.

I'm just going off my experience in the place I've lived my whole life. My Explorer didn't have a front plate the 8 years I owned it and never got crap about it, even the times I got pulled over for traffic violations.

On another note, Does anyone know how I can change the name of this thread? I just want to put "update" in the title

20% rear, 35% fronts

The rear, debadged

And I just picked up my spare air box cover from the dealer (For Just $10 [woot]) so I can cut it up, slap it on, and see how it sounds [8D]

Your hatch looks awesome! Keep up the nice mods! [thumb]

I'm not a fan of how the black mutes out my favorite part of the car (the grill) but that ride looks so awesome. It's too bad you've fallen victim to the SE Chrome curse. Hopefully you can find some blacked out parts for that.

I don't like...

the interior, the wheels, and the blue on blue on blue up front...

the fender flares are nice, lowered perfectly, paint is also a really really nice blue.

but that's just me.. im kind of against DUB-ing anything though. too show and no go
