So, I talked my mom into getting a Ford Focus! She just bought a 2003 ZTS, fully loaded(minus sunroof) with some cool mods! I will be adding parts to it and making it look cool. I hope to get some of it done before FocusFest, I'll see how far I want to take this car(especially since I don't own it).

Right now, all I have are dealership pics :(

Haha! She wants hers to be like mine. I told her that costs money, I don't mind making it look good, but as far as anything else, she will have to do.

She already bought EAP's off Craigslist for $250!!!!!

Nice, saw this on FB. Wish I had that Volant lol and wow that car is clean.
Thanks! I searched Autotrader, Craigslist and a few others, looking for the best Focus for my mom. It had to be an ATX. Finally, I found this one in Denver, about 100 miles away, and it is by far the cleanest one in the state!

The mods were a nice bonus tooo lol

Oooo Volant! An FC hood would fit it perfectly!

Yeah, it doesn't look good on yours, give me that, it will look better on this![hihi]

I think it's time others get to see how much better a sedan can look over a hatch. Yea I said it.
It's all in the eye of the beholder, yes there are a lot of sedans that look better than some hatches - the Sexdan for example. Any Focus, sedan, hatch, or wagon has the potential to look killer! Now will this one look as good as mine? Well, that's all a matter of one's opinion. But I do see where you are going with this, and I think with just the few simple mods that I am doing, it will make this car look really good!

BLASPHEMY! ^^

If I can find a descent SVT bumper, I will :) Still trying to do this on a budget, but her bumper is messed up so we are looking for a replacement. Wheels are a no-go now :( needed money for other things. I'll be looking for some wheels soon :)

Thanks! After all she has done for me, I gotta do something nice for her. After seeing your wheels on your car I wanted to get something similar for hers, thanks for involuntary helping me with the wheel choice! [:)]

This has awesome written all over it!
Thank you! [headbang]

Wheels are on!

I replaced the Mach-1 lip with th Ford Accessories lip because the car was too low in the front with the Mach-1 lip. I also added the plate bracket with a FocusFanatics plate frame [headbang] for when she gets her new plates in. Oh, and installed the valve cover :)
