Wanted to post some pics of the White hatchstrip, LED 3rd brake light, and the car cleaned up a bit.

No, I do not yet have the Mazda 3 rear wiper. A red emblem is not a bad idea, but I actually want to gid rid of the Black rubber keyhole. If anyone has a source for the FocusCentral brushed aluminum keyhole cover... please let me know.

I want to turbo it, but the misses is not going to let that happen anytime soon. I want to get the FocusSport front lip (painted white), a nice set of sideskirts, and I'm not sure about the rear bumper.

The rims are TireRack TRMotorsports RB5.

I have the FC brushed Aluminum keyhole cover.
I just bought it from someone on here and was going to put it on my car...
Let me get back to you... it doesn't have the tape on it to mount it but I have plenty of 3M tape...

Car looks great by the way... those wheels are nice!!:thumbup:

Ya know, with a badgeless grille, some tint, and colormatching the '05 looks really really nice. Congrats dude, SVT rear would look killer :thumbup:

Because I am kind of new and also a ZX4 owner. What is it about the Mazda 3 rear wiper?? I have read this more than a couple times. It looks super. I have always like a white car. There wern't any on the lot where I got mine.

That is a great setup you have there. Very clean look and not over done. You chould get a euro rear bumper....I thhink that would look hot on your car.

I have a white car because it was on the lot and cheap. I'm not normally a white fan, but it's really grown on me and I love the color now. Especially when it's clean.

Owning a Focus has been a bit strange so far. I've already gone through a "I love this car.... I hate this car.... back to I love it again" phase. I love how I can throw it around corners, but little things bug me now and again. I'll never purchased another Ford, BUT I will keep this one running as long as I can. Even if it gets expensive. I do love this hatch.

I purchased the painted hatchstrip from Tousley Ford. It seemed alot easier to get a factory painted one instead of sanding the original one down and painting it. I've had it for awhile now but never posted pics.

The 17's look so large because of the Kazera springs. I cannot say a bad thing about the Kazera springs. Cheap and good so far. Same goes for the MBRP exhaust. The white emblem on the rear is my fiancees first intial. Purchased it from webextremes. I really love the service I got from them on my vinyl ford emblem covers.

I got my '05 because it was cheap. There wasn't another brand new car for $10 grand anywhere.

What diameter pipe is your MBRP exhaust? The tip is different than the one on my exhaust. Plus was yours designed for a Duratec, or did you just get the ZETEC one like I did?

Again, I really like your car.

How about a couple close ups of the emblems? I been thinking of getting something from them to cover the billboards on my car too...

The MBRP exhaust is 2.25inches I believe. I might have gotten the SVT one, but I believe I ordered the one for the ZETEC focus. So I'm not sure about the different tip. You have me curious now and I may have to go out and see if it's 2.5 SVT diameter. I do know that the fit is awful tight in one little spot, but it doesn't rattle and hangs perfect, it's just close. I also used the stock hanger on one side and the one supplied with the exhaust kit on the other side to get the tip perfectly centered.

The webextremes decals are very good quality and fit fine. Be very careful if you apply heat, cause you can ruin them real quick that way. But it's not like the decals are expensive if you do. If you paint that emblem it's much harder to take back off, but this is coming from the guy who hacked his front grill into pieces in order to lose the front emblem. lol.

Only remove the center portion of the grill. Keep the outer frame intact. It's also not a bad idea to leave a bit more material from the stock grill around the edges, especially on the corners to keep it rigid.
