It all depends, you could paint your calipers, paint your rims...white??...gunmetal?? Ahhh steppin up the price bracket you could hit up a fuel door at procarparts.com (that would be about $50ish). Or you could put that ahhhh

I'm drawing a blank

, that black tint spray paint for your lights and what not.

You could do the fog light mod..if you have fog lights. Thats where it allows you to turn your fog lights on and off without having the headlights on.

 

FocusinZX3 nightshade?

 

good call

 

Clear side markers at RSVersion.com are only $12.

what kind of cheap mods can i do my my zx3 to make the exterior look better? and im talkin really cheap. i have like no money at all to work with. my interior is completely done and looks awesome. anyhing at all will help. thanks

 

thanks for all the ideas. i am definately gonna use some of them. keep em comin though. thanks!

 

de-badge, svt headlight mod, cut antenna, gutter guard upper and lower grills

 

no one mentioned zx5 hatch piece

 

procarparts fuel doesnt fit worth crap, i had to make modifications(major) to even get it to fit, also they gave me the wrong one at first. I still need to rig something to make it flush and stable, looks cool tho

 

Aluminum diamond plate door sills:
Go buy some metal.
Cut them to fit and stick 'em on with 3M tape.
Presto!
Not bad for $20!
You just can't see them with the doors closed!

 

Something really small, but in my opinion makes a big difference is if you put strips over the top and bottom of each of the lights in the bumper. It makes kind of an evil look.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">yep

next question: "what if the remote dies?"

answer: you can go in the hatch with your key if you have to, or you could keep a spare remote in the hatch area, just open your hatch with the key and grab your charged remote

 

i gave up on trying to put the ghetto grills on. Nobody explained how to get the lower grill off, and when I went under the car I was sure if i was supposed to take the light out. Plus I couldnt even get that nut off because of the weird angle and limited room you have to work w/ under the car.

how did you guys do it?

 

guess I got screwed. I dont have keyless entry.

 

great ghetto gutter guard grills (G5):

snip the antenna:

debadge rims:

^^they are just stuck on with glue, and they look like this:

stealth lock, buy (5$) the "D" covers from the rear doors of the zx5/sedan/wagon and replace yours, and you wont have any keyholes anymore:

debadge the rest of the car while you're at it

there you go, free or less than 10$ mods

-------------------------------------------

now, the paint and such cost about 100$, not to mention it took about 4 days to finish, but you could paint your moldings:

and this one you can see what the side moldings and skirts look like painted:

hop on over to www.focushacks.com , there are a few tutoris for you there, and enjoy!

how the hell do you get in your car if you put those covers on the locks? do they just pop off?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">yea, that thing is a pain in the ass, you do have to take the fog lights out because the mount is actually part of the grill, its pretty wierd, just take the fog lights out and you should be on your way to the wonderful world of ghetto

Get on ebay and get a remote or two. They are easy to program. Just PM me and i will help you do that when you get the remotes. L8er Jon

 

All Foci have keyless entry? Even those of us with manual locks?

I find that hard to understand.
