Alright! Time to get crackalackin on this one!

1. Body Kits:

I made a thread for the 05's just a few weeks ago that listed every kit for the 05+. I asked for it to be stickied for this reason..but no one hears my cries apparently...so here's the thread:

this thread will also help you:

2. Headlights:

No one really makes headlamps for your car except the Ebay projectors...

Most people open the headlamps and paint the insides themselves. It's a bit cheaper than buying new ones....

3. Taillights:

Niteshade will do wonders for you!

5. Spoilers:

The OEM Ford Street Appearance Package wing would look great on that car. They are expensive as hell from Ford, but some have been popping up on Ebay for around 200.00


6. Lowering Kit:

Hit up the Suspension forum on here! I personally have the Steeda Springs with KYB AGX struts, but you'll find that everyone has their own opinion of what suspension to go with.


7. Hood:

Checked out those body kit threads, all hatch backs though. Might be one Sedan in there lol. I'll have to check my local laws about having shades over the tail lights, I know you can't have them on headlights on night here. I personally liked the SAP spoiler too, but the wife doesn't like it for some reason. I'm liking the Invader hood on that Hood site you gave me though, at least with carbon fiber, it will look nice on my black car and I won't have to pay to have it painted or anything.

This is the spoiler she really likes but I told her it might not look right on our Focus, what do you think?

 

Not to be mean to your wife but, that is one of the uglist spoliers I have seen. I would get the SAP one. She may not like it at first, but I think once it's on the car she will change her mind. And no it will not look good on a focus, or on any car for that matter.

oh...that's Banning material right there...

 

I'm sure your wife is a good person.....she just doesn't have much of an eye for fixing up cars...:lol:

Um...all those companies make kits for the Sedans too......not just hatches....

As long as they can still see a red tint on the lense, you'll be fine. Just don't darken them all the way black. Just 3-5 light coats will do you fine.

It would be best to atleast spray some clear coat over the hood though....just to stop the resin from clouding up over time.

lol, I convinced her to take another look at the SAP spoiler. I just have to find a place that sells them. A buddy of mine just sent me an ebay link to this spoiler too. I think it looks pretty sweet. How wide is the trunk on the '05 Sedans? This spoiler is 59" wide

 

^^ um..... uhhh...... well...

ahhhh..... ehhhh.....

If that's what you want on your car, by all means....but personally, I wouldn't let either of those wings you posted even be CLOSE to my car....

Don't let anyone tell you what to do, BUT, this community is here to give inspiration and support in helping you make a car that is right for YOU.

Sometimes you'll find the SAP wings on Ebay...but I didn't see any a second ago.

Yah, I'm gonna keep an eye out for a SAP spoiler because I really do like them

 

I have a 2007 sedan, with the SAP. I liked the moderate kit. The rear bumpers are nice, and really make a difference.

I would like to do something with the tail lights as well. Really looking for LED style for the sedan. I have a red car, so want to keep the red lights.

 

SAP.......FTW

 

Here is what I would do:

Pro DTM Kit...all the way around.

Leave the stock spoiler or find a way to take it off and shave the holes. NO spoiler.

KW Coilovers

5zigen FNo1rc 17" black (Exel makes a copy...no bigs...just as well)

Carbon fiber stock hood. (all focus hoods are the same 00-04 & 05+)

Paint inside of stock headlights black or get ebay projectors.






Call it a day...get some motor mods.

 

that's a pretty good idea^^

Just a heads up, if you want to avoid brokerage fees when ordering from the us avoid UPS at all cost. If ordering smaller item try to get them shipped with USPS, much cheaper. All you'll have to pay (if customs don't forget) is taxes and I think a 5$ administration fee.

And while i'm here, +1 for the SAP spoiler

 

Yah I'm not worried about the custom's fee's, just those damn broker fee's. Fedex have high fee's too?

I don't really want to screw with the motor while I'm still under warranty.
Which rear bumper goes good with the pro-dtm kit?

Intake and Exhaust won't void your warranty.

usaully, when you order the Pro DTM kit...a Pro DTM front bumper comes with it... :lol:

I know it comes with a front one, I said rear

 

why not just the SAP spoiler, SVT front bumper and suspension, and maybe some side skirts, SVT 5 spokes, Niteshade the tails and be done with it? I think that would look uber clean.

because the SVT bumper won't fit an 05...........:dunno:

That's why I stay away from UPS. Last times I was shipped someting with FedEx they didn't charge me any broker feess, but it wasn't a large item, just some pc parts. Might be worth to check with them.

I think USPS can do up to a 70lbs package, so I always try to go with them first. Except for bodykits and wheel/tires, they can deliver almost anything to Canada for much less than brokers.

Happy shopping :thumbup:

 

I thought the hood from a 00-04 dosnt line up at the headlight part on the 05-07?

sorry about that...I meant the rear too.....

It doesn't. I think you misinterpreted a post on there.

Where do you see a pro-dtm rear bumper? I was at extremedimensions and they just had the front and side skirts

 

Not to mention the fact that I've yet to ever see an '05+ Pro DTM kit on any vehicle other than the Photoshop of Mr. Krabbs with '05+ headlights on eBay and the Extreme Dimensions website :dunno:

If I were you here's what I'd do: Focus Sport front lip colormatched, SVT or SAP sideskirts, SAP rear bumper, SAP Package 1 spoiler (the littler one, not the ugly EVO ripoff one), Eibach Pro-Kit (~1.5" of lowering) or Eibach Pro-Kit Plus (~2.2" of lowering) depending on your quality of roads, paint the headlights black, LIGHTLY (1 - 2 coats) put some Niteshades on the tails, 16" or 17" (depending on your preference) Rota Slipstreams or Rota Grids (again, depending on your preference) in Full Royal Sports Bronze, and finally round it off by calling F2 and seeing if they have any more of their ST-TT lol fiberglass hoods left to order.

It's a long list, but I think you'll see that it's a proper setup, not overly spendy, and will allow you to stay low-key whilst you save up for the FS Stage II kit and FS Stealth exhaust
