looks great

 

Looks good, now paint those wheels white. White-on-white foci(s) looks awesome.

 

I feel like I have read this before. Gold or bronze please.

 

^^lol we cant have every white focus to be white-on-white, we need some diversity....
but nice looking car, do you plan on a drop?
and i definitely agree, i cant wait for some nice pictures of the foliage

 

Fall pics usually do turn out awsome. Looks good.

 

looks good

 

Sorry no painting wheels for me....I'll buy a new set if/when I get tired of these.

I've never taken photos before with a car as the main focus of the picture ([]), so it's something new to try out. The fall colors have always been emphasized, rather than anything else. The background will still be important. I see many Focus photos around here that are ruined by stuff that doesn't quite fit.

Here's a National Cemetery shot, but w/o any fall color yet....

 

im curious, whats the decal on the side?

 

^^^nothing really. It's an "R", for racing. I spent a bunch of time trying to find a small decal to add some red, breaking up the black/white colors. There's a short red barbed wire stripe under it....hard to see in that photo.

 

I would lose it. Get red Sparcos if you want to break up the white and black.

 

i like the way the bumper looks, i mean it has a base euro taste to it. nice man

 

nice car man, need more pics though!

 

Tint, wheels and slammed = HOT

 

I spent the whole summer since I got this car doing numerous mods.....mostly inside the car. The outside has a few mods that are visible.....clear corners, painted calipers/drums, an HD front lip, a red side decal, bumper end guards, painted lower grill, FORD fender splash guards. That's about it. It still looks fairly stock.

If I go much further.....this car becomes a target, for cops, and thieves, both of whom are too numerous around here. Right now I like the way it looks, and few people give it a second glance.....fine with me. My interior/electrical mods occupied most of my time, and don't attract attention.....also fine with me.

Focus mods can take many directions......external, internal, engine, etc. So far I'm mostly satisfied with the way this project has progressed, but still am looking for new ideas that appeal to me. I'll post more Fall pictures here when the colors get better.....

Thanks for the kind words. [wave]

 

The Mississippi in the early Fall.....

 

Well the last two days may have been the best week-end for Fall photos......so I took about a hundred photos. It'll give me something to play with this winter. Here's a few.....this white car is harder to photograph than other colors.

 

I agree, lose that autozone R sticker. Makes it look.....cheap. Then slam it and some tint and you'll be good to go
.

 

y are ur pics so blury

 

As I said in the OP.....I'm on a dial-up. These are lo-res photos, less than 100k each and not meant for printing. Sorry....

That car needs some color up front. The painted calipers aren't enough. The small red decal was the only thing I could come up with.

 

OK....I uploaded a single relatively high-res photo, about 1mb. It's 1024x768, and looks good as the background of a standard 19" monitor. The Oxford white color of the Focus makes for a difficult subject under certain lighting conditions...in this case about two hours before sunset. I had to use Photoshop to brighten the red color of the small graphics, which was washed out.

Want to see it? How's it look...

'06 ZX5 in the Fall

 

And here's that last photo (low-res), with some more Photoshop work. I brightened the red calipers and drums and the side graphics......this is a more realistic look at the car. The calipers/drums had too much of a shadow to show any color. I also changed the wheel color to white...just to see what it would look like, but didn't like it. So.....the final version.
