This is my 2006 Ford Focus ZX3. I ordered it new in Oct and received it in Dec.It's the first new car I have ever had.
This is what it looked like when I first got it.

The first exterior mod I did was I got clear corners for the bumper and I was going to make a custom mesh grill.

I re did my grill. I decided not to use the mesh. I painted the chrome surround to match the car and put the OEM center back in. It changed the look of the car a lot.

UPDATE: April 16, 2006
I painted my headlights black. This is how Ford should have made them. It matches the fog lights and front end so much better. I am really happy with the way they turned out.

I GOT MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways, I just got my decal to go over the rear focus emblem. I wanted one to match the front, but Ford filed a law suit against everyone who was making them so I couldn't get one.

I was bored with the factory wheels and I can't afford new ones so I painted the factorys, I think they turned out sweet

I just got my euro tails put on, They don't fit like OEM, but I like them a lot better.

I also painted the lettering on the back of the car black to match everything else on the outside.

UPDATE: March-May 2009

I bought a used F2 rear bumper from a guy and it was damaged in shipping. This is how it looked when I got it.

So I had to go about fixing it:

I also made a set of custom light pods for a set of Euro reverse lights.

I also am in the process of smoothing out the body line of the stock front bumper.

I got the bumpers painted, now I have to wait for the clear to dry before putting them back on the car.
