Well, here it goes, this would be the first time I've posted pictures of my car, I was finally able to get ahold of a digital camera to take the pics.

Wow dude...how bout dont be a DICK...it looks good to me...its lowered and clean...nice ride.

clean as in stock? i think its great that people like to shar their rides, but that is nothing more than a run of the mill focus that i would see on the highway everyday.

How often do you see an LX with anything other than the 14" steelies that came on them. I'm sorry I'm a poor college student, but I do what I can with what I have, I'm working on paying off debt before doing anything major.

I meant clean as in shiney and washed...whats your car look like anyway. What gives you the right to talk $hit on his car....post up a pic of yours. Nobody said that rigz was for posting pics of your highly Modded focus...and that if you never put any parts on it you cant put your pictures here. Its for posting pics of your car...thats all.

Maybe he has a 351 windsor stuffed in there; you never know. Anyway, it looks good, I like the color a lot. I suggest you limit your exterior mods and focus (ha) on power. Get some nice complimenting rims and lower it, and it should look 50x better.
It is lowered, that is the most recent thing that I've done, Eibach Pro-System. I wish I had a 351 or a 5.0 cammer under the hood, but no such luck. Thanks for the good comments too, btw.

I hate when people rag on someone for posting pics of a stock car, I think its nice to see a stock car because shows where we all started and reminds us of why we are here on the 'jet, because we love that stock car this tool is ragging on...I like the pro kit man, looks good, smart man to be payin off debt before you start more :) Keep it lookin good :thumbup: What kinda bulbs are you running/how do you like them. They give that blue hue inside the reflector like the APC ones i have in my stockers :D

Edit, oh and "drivesfast", 22 posts man, you've def. represented yourself well, you wanna rag on a stock focus, lets see yours?......:rolleyes:

haha, this is cracking me up. and no im not going to post pics of my near stock ride because it is also run of the mill. if i did, i would just be fueling the fire of the ordinary, plain jane pic posting that shows no creativity or originality.

Then dont rip on him for doing what this section is for. Nowhere does it say that the car has to be modded to a certain degree. If your going to be a dick about it, just leave it alone man, seriously....Lets let his post continue and not turn it into an ongoing argument alright dude? I'm done.....
 
#14 ·
I like it. I guess to piss some folks off, I'll just have to post pics of my "Returned to stock" Focus later.

Who cares if it is run of the mill or some dick thinks it is. Nice car and do what you want with it. It is yours.

well, no need for that. didn't ask for a suggestion but you sure as hell can give your opinon. stock? so what? doesn't matter. this is a place to show pride in what you've accomplished on your vehicle. even if purchacing is the first or even only accomplishment

man, i was running my ride like that for a while. lowered, no exterior mods, yet i had everything going for me under the hood. stock-looking cars are always the best in my opinion. leaves you wondering what is in it that makes it go so fast. keep it up man. like some of these guys said, concentrate more on your power mods than exterior.

If that an LX id say it looks great! I like the stock 16's and the spoiler sets it off just right, Thumbs up to you for putting school before your car. :)
Thanks :). Yeah, definitely an LX, SPI and all. Although it came with the spoiler and I picked up the wheels and tires with about 5k miles on them for $300.

I'm with focus_guy here, it's hard to pay for school and still have money left over to throw at the Focus on things other than normal maintenance/wear and tear when you drive a whole lot all the time. The wheels look nice bro, I'm thinking about picking up a set of those to powdercoat gunmetal for summer wheels until I can save up some cash for some Rotas :thumbup:

the 16's dont look that bad at all when you lower it that much... looks nice...
my one tip... tint the windows it doesnt cost that much and cleans it up a little bit...

tint windows is rice....
Get yourself some Philips high intensity halogen bulbs (best $15 I've ever spent) to make everything more visible at night.
Then I'd save up for a swaybar to further improve the handling characteristics.
Don't forget the swiss cheese airbox mod :D
