Decision made. While I like them all, and I really like Glowin's ride (partial to blue), but I picked Chris' (NorCal) ride. His affair with this car started a long time ago and I really like where he's taken it. It went from a sedan I appreciated, but did not care for looks-wise to a very well put together sedan with great presence. Nice work, Chris. :thumbup:

Gentlemen, this is such an epic battle, a sexdan showdown. Chris and Matt are some of the most passionate Focus owners I know, and their cars show it, good luck guys!

Wow. I really don't know what to do. It's kind of crazy to be "the new guy" when I've been around for almost four years. :lol: I'm up against a pair of world-class cars, and it's ridiculous to even think that I could be considered to be in the same category.

FUN FACT: We represent "the big three" as far as wheel sizes go for the Focus, all in the same width.

I can't help but feel like Matt would be getting more votes if you could see his car in the pictures. All 3 cars are amazing.

Matt has provided new images so if you didn't vote because you didn't see what you wanted to see, please go back and take another look. I have edited the original post to include better images provided by Matt. Best of luck, guys!
