I've been a lurking member for awhile now, but a Focus member for around 2 and a half years.
I'm going to start being around here a lot more so I figured I'd show off The Snot Rocket.
Back in Nov 07 my buddy and I painted her up and decided to go with a custom color we call "Titanium". Really it's just 1 part Fords Spruce Green and 1 part Liquid Gray. It came out weird but I love it now. The roof is Black with a Sapphire effect that you really can only see in the sun. Kinda pointless but I think the fumes got to our heads...lol.
Started off originally as an S2

I like how the S2 wing, Roush mid-wing and the Xenon lower lip all flow together. Completely by mistake...haha. The Roush exhaust is painted in high heat black and tucked away.

Recently had the inserts painted black. There are a lot of imperfections in the front because of lazy prepping, so in the spring we're going to repaint her.
And I've really got to fix that sag, wow that's really bad.....

Ebay lights. Meh, I don't like the angel eyes. I'll be changing those to ST170's eventually. And I think I'll paint my grill black again instead of color matched.

Ebay taillights too. But I nite-shaded them and put in some LED cluster bulbs with load resistors.
Might go back to stock sometime though. lol

Interior has been three different colors finally landing on black. Console and handles has been smoothed down. I'll be taking this back to the shop for more clear and polish. The bottom half of the dash was painted black with vinyl paint. So far no issues with it and I love it. Wish I had better pics of it though. Ebay gauge overlay. Wish I never did it. I'll be replacing that soon too with an ST bezel and some speedhut gauges maybe.

Yes it's an Automagic. Hey, I can't drink my coffee and drive stick at the same time...lol. Nah, I might swap her out for an mtx-75 sometime.

I dyed the headliner and painted all pillars black with vinyl paint. I also did the seats but now they attract so much hair and fur and crap that I'll be getting some new seats sometime. It's really driving me nuts.

Powder Coated my Euro's that I got from MEANSVT (thanks dude). Slapped on some Nitto Neo-Gens.
They're okay tires, but I think i'll go with some dedicated summer tires next time.

Bunch of mods under there. Huge K&N filter, upgraded ground, Xcal2 with the generic FocusSport tune, ect, ect. Will be throwing on a header/flex soon, but I need to save for ceramic coating so I can do it all at once.

A gaggle of us going on a cruise through the twisties which ultimately destroyed my rotors. Got some Centric blanks and Hawk Pads on the way as well as an ES master bushings kit.

And this is what happens when you're in the shop around all those fumes for a few days straight.

And I REALLY wish I could have gone to FOTB. I used to ride my bike to Goleta beach everyday after work. Man I miss that. I flipped a lid when I saw it was there!
Peace out for now, hope this thread didn't piss anyone off or blow up any serv3rz.....
