ok so.

my interior is trashed.
we have had my focus since 2001
i have had it for two years.
like an idiot, i have smashed vents,[gunfire] broken mouting tabs, [boxface] scraped, [poke] spray-painted, [chair] bent, and otherwise ruined most/all interior parts.[slap]

I WANTS NEW.

so,
i ask your opinions.
NO MATTER WHAT, i am going to wrap all new panels, pillars, dash, etc. in fabric. it will look fine. i have matured beyond the point of relying on meaningless destruction to survive.

but

i need to know if i should get the 00-04 interior, or the 05-07.

i like my 01, it's excitingly curvy.
but the 05-up would be easier to wrap and make to look classy.

so help.

i like the earlier dash.

 

[kevin3]

why?

 

[sjdwales]

i like earlier dash, newer dash looks cheap and tacky. i can't stand looking at when i drive my mums 06 focus

 

[evanjfrancis]

idk, i have the 01 and i absolutely love it =D

 

[kevin3]

but see it won't look tacky if wrapped in leather. sexy brown leather. i'm dropping stupid money in this.

 

[faster_than_u]

i say 00-04 dash

 

[o_so_slo]

00 dash the 05 up is to boxy and square so plain

 

[N1TROPT1C]

i agree
the older style is better in my opinion
but dont do it simple
since your doin the whole thing
throw some one of a kind customization in their

 

[honhon]

why?

i like the shape of it... it flows more with the focus bodylines... the 05-07 focus was really raped for its front end and inside... ford really farted all over the plans for it...

i would love an earlier dash and door panels... esp if my door panels were all black... i think the plastic on my microsoft key board looks pricier than the grey plastic on my door panels.

 

[loudfocus01]

The 00-04 interior is european, whereas the 05-07 is.......well....not.

The 00-04 looks MUCH better IMO. Its quite unique and not boring and square.

 

[polishlanman]

older style.

European styling is the best

(i accidentally voted for 05-08, any way to change that?)

 

[j-zetec_pr]

00-04 > 05-07

 

[kevin3]

okay. i guess it's decided.

and of course it will be custom. i'm shaving the two center vents, the stupid corner vents, the big dumb line across the middle of the dash, the radio bezel will be molded in(maybe), molding in the stupid ugly speaker grills and wrapping everything (door panels, int. 1/4 panels, pillars, dash, and the seats at some point) in brown suede and leather. then i will put real speaker grills over the nice smooth leather and yay.

what do you guys think.
is that dumb?

 

[N1TROPT1C]

i cant really imagine how that will turn out

show pics though please when u do do it

maybe ull start a fab

 

[j-zetec_pr]

here, check out this thread.. it's from FF member Miki Winchkabel(sp?), and his focus has a pretty custom interior

Lol, I think most people like the 00 - 04, theres just something about the square of the 05 - > thats annoying!
