So I've been discretely prowling the site for over a year now and finally was motivated to actually put pics up of my car. I purchased it in Phoenix, AZ in 07. It's an 06 ST and I'm the original owner. On to the pics! (Please be kind, I'm by no means a photographer and I did these on a phone). Also, I'm just learning how to use Photobucket. Please let me know if there's trouble with the pics.

Here she is.....

Close up of the wheels w/red Gorilla security nuts. They lose their colored coating easy, but were only about $30.
Image


I purchased a set of lights to replace some heavily rock damaged stockers. I really like the new look and it goes perfectly with my blacked out markers and grill.
Image


A nice close up of the rear. I used lamin-x on the tails and completely removed the north american emblems. I added the EDM "ST" emblem in its place :)
Image


I really hated our roach antenna, so I just removed it and covered the thread with rubber caps. Looks like a super shorty antenna, but of course non functional.
Image


Having seen so many stick on decals on fuel doors here in GA, I'm really proud of my actual aluminum fuel door.

The engine bay. Not much here. Just an Optima Red top, strut brace, and the snazzy FSWerks engine cover.

Image


I managed to snag a Saleen Focus/Mustang shift knob and added screws/o-rings to make it flow more with my interior.

Image

Image


Here's so-so shot of the interior. You'll notice my MOMO shoulder pads. My gf teases me about them all the time :/

Image


Then there's this little guy who happily replaced my cigarette lighter.

Image


It powers my phone when hooked up to this stealthy in-line FM modulator placed under the steering column.

Image


Underneath I've swapped out the inserts in my dog bone mount with Massive's solution. I've since went back to the original insert for the larger one b/c the vibration was insane on my vehicle.

Image


And here's the stress bar.

Image


Please let me know what you guys think and yes.....I will drop it. I'm ordering a set of FRPP springs for the 1.5 inch drop and some camber bolts just in case.

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention my one engine mod. I've done the stealth CAI with a K&N filter. It made a very nice difference. I'm ordering my FRPP springs tomorrow and I'm going to do my best to document the install. I've just got to make sure my father has a spare bay at his shop. From what I hear, the ST's stock dampers will do just fine with the springs as long as they're not the dynamics. I'm just not feeling to well about my rear alignment settings b/c the cars been rear ended before.

Again, big thanks to everyone in the community. I've learned everything I know about the Focus from this site.
 
LMFAO! Can't believe Ford was stupid enough to put that BP recomendation on the cap. I tested they're gas that said 10% ethanol and it was actually 20% I no longer go there.

Nice car BTW.

I put the 56k beware b/c in the forum guidelines it suggested I do some kind of dial-up user warning if the post contained more than 6-7 pics. :p

I guess BP shelled out some cash during the production period of the car/gas cap so they were required to slap the images on there. Thankfully I don't have too many BPs around here. I mostly go to Marathons in my area.

Funny thing about the wheels....I ended up getting them with a check I got from the insurance company after a naked drunk man rear ended me while I was sitting on my friend's porch watching the whole ordeal. After all repairs and rentals were covered I argued a diminished value claim (which is part of a required compensation after an accident in GA) for an even grand. It went straight towards these wheels and a fresh set of rubber that was desperately needed.

Thanks for the compliments :)
 
Nice man! I love the ST in red!! Looks sharp! LOL And i also giggled a little the first time i opened my gas door and saw "Ford recomends BP gas" I was like BUUUULLLLSHHIIIIT!

I know this is really late, but I totally forgot to mention I have the CFM short shifter installed. I'm sure alot of people noticed the shifter being shorter than normal. From what I remember its the shortest of all the available shifters. I love it. It will take its toll on you if you don't have a strong arm. I let my brother borrow it and he complained about it being to hard to shift. hahah
