New Wheels and More Low: "The Other Focus"

[cobrawannabe]

Jorge (the silver '09 coupe) posted, and it tipped me over the edge. I've been thinking about posting pics of my car in the showroom ever since I mounted these wheels last Friday. They badly need to be repolished, the car needs a bit more fender work for me to drive it like I want, and the fitment is overall pretty mild; but I love it and I really want to share it. I've been working towards having a fitted car for a few years now, and it feels great to finally have done it. All comments and criticism welcome, I've got a few front lips laying around, but this car has a very, very bad habit of destroying them in days.

Also, the graphics are for a little fabrication and performance operation my buddy and I run on the side, so I don't plan on getting rid of them.

Wheels: 16x7.5 et20 Fittipaldi Monolithic
Tires: 205/40-16 Falken ZE-912s
Coilovers: H&R spun all the way down up front, removed perches and mini coil cut out back.

Sick looking car sir. There's a local gold sedan similar to yours. Well done!

Looks great Matt!

[daniel_lucian]

Looks good man.

[Daffy]

Looks great! Only feedback would be take off the spoiler if you're going to have roof-bars on, because having all three looks rather strange.

But hey it's your car, so do what you want!

Huge improvement over what it was a couple years ago. Looks good.

Thank you! I think I know the car you're talking about, is it Goldilox?

Looks great Matt!

Thanks, Jorge!

Looks good man.

Thanks, dude.

You know, I actually tried removing the spoiler over the summer, but one of the captive nuts in the trunk was seized, so I can't get it off. I appreciate the feedback and the kind words.

Thanks, Ollie. Looking back at it can be a bit embarrassing for sure.
