Focus

[Deaner]

OP: I recommend getting the SAP front bumper and a SVT or euro rear bumper! That would look hot!

OP: The lip in that second pic is the old FocusSport lip. It is discontinued and extremely rare, but they do pop up once in a while. As a matter of fact, there is one for sale in the classifieds on FocalJet as we speak. Best of luck, I look forward to seeing the car progress!

And about the girls ZX3, idk if you know this or not, but does she have pink camber arms? If so, I've seen in on FocalJet, and fell in love the second I saw it.

Yes, she does have pink camber arms.

That picture that was posted up there of the red zx3 is my car. The lip was made by FocusSport (now FSWerks) and is no longer produced but supposedly there are some replicas floating around ebay and one pops up for sale on Focaljet every now and then.

Ughson - sounds badass but it wasn't me. There's and intro thread floatin around somewhere and ill post pics of it tomorrow.

OSSHWA - I've been lookin around FocalJet gettin some ideas, there's a few of my body styles on there that look awesome. I'm honestly more excited to see how this turns out than I have been about any of my four cars I've had. And about the girls ZX3, idk if you know this or not, but does she have pink camber arms?

Most of the car guys I hang around with are either honda drivers or minitruckers, I've myself had an 87 s10, two MKiii Jettas and then when I got this everyone was very surprised. The very few Focus' I've seen in my area with modifications have all had, in my opinion, ridiculous body kits and stuff, one even had dual center exit fart cans. If that's your thing cool, but its definitely not mine. As I said I'm looking forward to progress on this thing as much as I hope whoever reading this is. And again, thanks for all the positive feedback and more is always welcome.

I guess I can see where that seemed defensive, that's not how I meant it. I've just talked to a lot of people and got the reaction "you wanna do what? To a Focus" a lot. I know nobody was trying to down me or my ideas, and I appreciate that. That being said, it's one of the reasons I like this forum, there isn't a lot of shit talking on here like many other forums.

Personally, the idea of a modified Focus doesn't really seem all that odd to me. I mean yeah.....there might not be that many "stanced" Foci in existence, but there is a pretty decent modified Focus scene. My roomate actually has a boosted '05 Focus, and asides from the fact that it's blurple, I don't really give him shit for it. Then again I drive an orange Miata, so I don't really have much room to talk....lol. I haven't really seen this body style ('05+) stanced out though. All the fitted Foci i've seen thus far have been first gen's for the most part.

your username looks familiar, didnt you have the jetta with a rabbit front end on vette wheels? what happened to it?

[OSSHWA]

No need to get defensive. After reading through all the commentary in this thread, i've noticed that:

1) No one was trying to be rude.....I mean this site IS called StanceWorks after all. And go read any other build thread where a car is not sitting on the tires and everyone will be saying "moar low!".

2) People WERE trying to give you constructive criticism. The SVT bumper in your proposed mod list is for a different year Focus, so they were simply stating that it would be a lot more work than just simply swapping the bumper, hence why they were suggesting other options. No one was saying that your idea to swap to an SVT bumper was a bad idea. They were just stating that it might be more work than your expecting, and thus were trying to throw some other ideas your way.

That being said.....it sounds like your on the right track. Focus's can look pretty dope when done up nicely. There's a chick on here with a silver ZX3 that looks soooo dope.....so take notes from her and you'll be breaking necks in no time

For me this is about making due with what I have, I got the Focus and wasn't completely unhappy with it, but wasn't in love either. I planned on leaving it stock, just continue making payments while saving for another Jetta, but one day I was looking at my car and just thinking damn, that would look good low. I think its the fenders that does it for me, it just looks really good with a tire tucked under it. The lip on that second picture looks REALLY good. Any details on it? Also, This is about my own style and preference. I know a lot of people don't like the idea of a Focus being customized, they think it's an old person car or a soccer mom car, but that's not why I'm in this, I'm not here to impress anyone, and if you are you're definitely in this for the wrong reason. Although, I do really appreciate all the good comments and feedback I've gotten. Any constructive criticism is very much so welcome. All the other BS comments can be kept to yourself.
