A Focus that most will **** anyways

[NorCalFocus]

So the weather finally got nice again so I decided to paint my wheels. Not much to say so enjoy....











Also I installed my rear lip last weekend. My local exhaust shop is out of stock on the tip I want so I'm waiting for him to get em in so I can get a new tip on.






Also my friend did this shop for me. I have KW V1's coming to me very soon.

You missed my point. I'm all for this the Focus being modded. You have alot of skills that I think aren't being used properly..This could look 100x's better without that hood, and those wheels. If you'd bought a Honda/VW it's probably look the same as this..

^^finally glad to see the shit coilovers got sold! Also the wheels should be in white, they'll look much, much better IMO. Can't wait to see this thing slammed!

They're not shit Chuck, just not ment for the lows. Wheels will be going white soon. I planed on working on them this weekend, but the rain we got put that idea to rest.

I don't think there's really anything you can do to this car to make it look better. They're just too tall and narrow. This is the best attempt I've seen so far though...

Thanks. I agree they are a bit on the tall side.

The only reason I have a problem with the CF hood is the scoop on it. I **** nonfunctional exterior parts like that, but as you said it's yours and you like it. Aside from that I really dig this build.

Thank you. The hood I got for a trade of labor so beggers can't be choosers. I would prefer a OEM CF hood, and if a deal came up for me to get one, I will.

I agree too. You could take all of that time and effort and really make this look awesome..But instead..

Yup I could have gotten a VW or Honda and put this work into it, but then I'd be just another modded Honda or VW. Thats not to put down Hondas or VWs, but I like having something a bit different.

Looks good, not a fan of the hood. I can respect the work but it just looks out of place.

Thanks man.

Couldn't agree more. If it was low with some nice wide wheels, I could go along with it but its a focus with too much CF and blue wheels.
And its all a shame because you obviously have some good fabrication skills but are really wasted on this car.

More fuel for the **** I understand where the criticism comes from, I really do. But in the end, I love the way I'm taking this car and I'm building it for me and no one else.

So I took the bumper off to repaint it to match and it snowballed from there. First I had a spot that got damaged so I fixed it. When sanding the repair, I didn't block it and put a wave in it. So I repainted the whole thing before finding the wave. Repair the wave, try just base coating the repair, and then putting clear on the whole thing, DAMN theres a huge shadow in the edge of base coat. Sanded the whole bumper back down and put base coat on the entire bumper and clear. Finally got it done. So yeah its been a fucked up couple of weeks working on that.

Also had to get rid of the battery tray I put in. I couldn't make it fit with the fogturns. So I'll be moving the battery to the trunk soon.

Next up on the list is paint the wheels, move battery to the trunk, repair and install my SVT center console including adding two 12v outlets, started working on my custom dash bezel again to hold an oil pressure gauge, install new stock shifter and cut it (not as short as I have now), install new OEM tails that look way better than mine.







His and hers...







Lastly I got my Koni coilovers sold. I'm just waiting on final payment on them. Once I have money in hand for that, I'll be buying real coilovers.

I know your signature says "2001 Focus Sedan with JDM inspired mods" but shouldn't it say "2001 Focus with Ricer inspired mods"?

Sorry to be harsh but we should be going forward...

Just for you

[NorCalFocus]

Wow thanks for the shop! That looks way better than I could have thought.

Looks like I will be going white on the wheels.

[Invincible]

Would look hot as hell :P I usually don't like focus, but this one actually looks nice

I'm sorry. Those wheels look horrible.

I haven't heard that yet. Its cool, different strokes for different folks.
