Can your fat *** even fit in that thing? Might want to get that van back...

I was hoping to see a camel, but all I got was a focus. I guess its close enough

Tinted the windows- 20% in the front and 5% in the back

I'm still pretty much a noob at tinting, but it works, I suppose. Still got a couple bubbles to get out. I'm getting the back glass done professionally. I doin't trust myself to do that lol

nothing a Jackson Racing 2.0 Supercharger can't fix...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif check out http://www.focussport.com lots of performance parts available...you can make it hang with stock Mustang GT's....My 2.3 Focus was doing high 13's and could catch 3 gears with ease sometimes 4th...

What all did you do to yours? I can't get mine under 14 with intake, cams, port and polish, exhaust, chip and a couple other mild things. Doing right at 14.25, so close to high 13's, but I am not dumping any more money in this thing for certain reasons.

Also I can't chirp 4th in mine. 3rd I can, but 1st and 2nd, I can burn my tires bald, lol! I haven't done that in sometime though.

They are easy to make fast, but I wouldn't do it to the 2.0, the 2.3 has a lot more out for it for aftermarket stuff.

Sux. No 4wd

Did you buy it from your grandma?

What bet did you lose?

This.

Not my cup o' tea, but whatever makes you happy.

Thats don't look anywhere near 20%. That is what I have on my car and looks a lot darker than yours, but car is black. I am starring at it right now and I am like WTF!

Also don't let all the haters get you down. Focus is a nice car, but I would have opted on at least the ST version for Sedan, or a hatch. The 2.0 Sedan Focus is so slow, it is sad.

Reliable though, so enjoy!

Edit, I didnt read it all and seen you still have the back glass to do. Will look darker then.

I woulda loved to have gotten the 2.3 but this car was one of those where it was either this or nothing.

The 2.0 isn't too slow for me. I mean, I can get up to 70 on an onramp, pass on the interstate, and it scoots around town just fine. Having owned a van and an explorer, I'm not a huge speed junkie.

My only big plans are to lower it just a hair. The stock suspension sits really high and looks pretty goofy. I might get an OEM spoiler and maybe some OEM alloys.

I would advise against it. It wouldn't necessarily look bad, but it won't really make it look any better. Not being an ***.. just sayin //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I hear ya.

Man if the 2.0 isn't that slow to you, you must flip when you get in something fast. My wife had a 2.0 Focus as a rental car and I thought they did something to the car to not excel to fast and if it wasn't for someone else I knew that had the same car, I would have thought they did do something to the gas pedal. Shit is baffling to me that something would be that slow, but as long as it gets to point a and b, that is all that matters.

I would like to lower mine too, but I am never happy after lowering my rides, rather it was me doing it or having it done. Just never ride like they used to. So not messing with mine. Is a DD, I don't even know why I dumped as much money into the engine as I did. Stupid!

With that said, I need a ride with triple row seating, lol! I may have a van as my next ride. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

Actually, I think it gives the Focus a lot of character. Some cars look good with them, some don't. Focus's dont!

Corrected? You seem to have contradicted yourself.
