What's with all of the crying about the HIDs? It's not half as much of an issue as some of you like to make it seem...I have NEVER EVER had a single time when I was unable to see to drive because of someone else's HIDs.

Mind you, I personally am NOT a fan of them and do not, have not, and will not ever add them to a vehicle of mine, I do NOT agree with the cry-fest people put up about them.:dunno:

Seriously people...it's NOT that big of a deal. :lol:
 
idk i personally wouldn't have chosen so much chrome. i would have opted for a set of 18" ultraleggera's. yeah they're a lot of money but a lot nicer and not as shiney. I would also paint the upper grill red to match the car and try to pick up a pair of 09 coupe headlights.
 
Awesome coupe dude! Keep up the good work. :thumbup:

whew! you guys move fast! I wish I could respond to everyone, but I'll address the most common posts. sorry to the mods for posting those 1000x1000ft pics, I'm gonna correct myself and post the correct size:) . anyway, you guys had my dying when I read your posts about my sun-bright HID's, lol. They're honestly not as bright as they look in the pic...I purposely positioned the camera for that effect- sorry if I burnt some of you guys' corneas, lol...the 10000K's are more deep purple-ish blue (see pic). But thank you for all your suggestions, comments, compliments, and sarcasm, lol. Now about this "Paul Wall" edition stuff...I love clean, five spoke rims but usually cannot stand chrome but for some reason they really work on my ride...i know there is a lot of chrome already on the new focuses (or foci?) so I'm glad I don't have the side grills. what else...oh, as far as the 09 grill goes I would only get it if I slightly tinted the headlights or just got the 09 headlights...i think it would still go with the chrome wheels- maybe somebody can photoshop me somethin:D. anyway, thanks for the warm welcome!

looks good. i usually hate chrome wheels but thats pretty much a perfect match. 1st picture very VW ish. looks slick. cant wait to see whats next. how do the new ones ride overall?
you see, I find this very funny cause this car replaced my 2000 Passat, lol...damn that car was trouble! the car rides nice, but the Vogtland's are way too soft for my application- but they're excellent springs, the car still rides smooth just like factory
 
I'm sorry, but those headlights are still producing wayyyyy too much glare because your halogen housings aren't meant to house HIDs :rolleyes:

I have HID's in my Lows and Fogs on my Trailblazer and I have yet to have anybody flash their lights at me..



granted later on I am gonna retrofit TSX projectors to my headlights but still...
 
Not a fan of 18s on a focus, but those really flow well with the grill and other chrome bits. Nice choice.

That car is the best looking 08 i've seen so far besides the tuner ones. Looks perfect...
hey thanks man- that really means a lot...it's kinda tough not having a focussport budget to do a project like thier street tuner challenge focus, but I try to make the best of what funds I have (even if they shouldn't be spent, lol)...stay tuned cause I have plenty more things planned!
