my newest in cheap easy mods.

Should I keep it in that place, make it level, or move it somewhere else... I just want some peoples opinions. [confused]

make it level for sure, and maybe even center it top to bottom, but i think it looks great regardless, good idea!

yea i was thinking level too, and putting it center there would probably look pretty good. thanks

That looks pretty cool. What lettering or badge did you use.

 

[flamebird1313]

I took it off the back of my car using the debadging instructions on FF, then sanded, primed and painted them to match my car, and used some 3m plastic and trim adhesive to stick it on.

I like it, pretty good idea![thumb]

No sir I don't like it. It looks cheap.

1. remove the Focus emblem
2. get an overlay for the ford badge
3. paint the grill surround to match the car.
4. enjoy

the badge overlay is in my future plans, and I'm not done yet with the focus emblem, I don't currently like it either... and the color matched grill is a thought still for me. what if I took the badge off, got my emblem overlay, and color matched the grill mesh instead?

Honestly it look worse than it does now. The lip of the grill needs to be red to break up the line between the headlight and grill.

 

[02fordsvt]

The lip would look OK red but the mesh should definitively stay black in my opinion. It breaks up the front end and matches the headlights.

I have to agree with norcal...to me doesn't flow with the car

 

[st12131]

I like it, going to do the same thing but F.O.C.U. in white and the S. in red.

yea I quickly decided against the mesh when I went outside and looked at it.

I already moved it and it looks a little better... I'll post more pics tomorrow in the day if it doesn't rain

 

[flamebird1313]

It does seem very hit or miss with most people though, some like it, some don't.

 

[flamebird1313]

Here's how it looks now

 

[02fordsvt]

Not to be overly picky but I might move it down just a little bit more, but if it's too much work, it looks much better there.

 

[2011 SE]

Personally I liked it the way you had it originally.

 

[flamebird1313]

[???][scratch] I don't know now... lol I should've had a poll for it

 

[FOCUSSTDRIVER]

do what you want its you own damn car...as long as you like it

 

[jmiller_1974]

If You're gonna drop it to the center I feel it should line up with the emblem, otherwise it looks half-assed, Ya know? I like the idea, just need to dial in the placement, IMO.
