UPDATE!!: My Focus has been sold. After almost 4 years of owning my 1 owner Focus, I decided to move on, and sell it. I now have a 1959 VW Beetle that I will be taking to shows instead.

Thank you for everyone's input, positive and negative. It helped me along as I was slowly building the car. If you ever have any questions at all, feel free to e-mail me at n2vdubz@hotmail.com, or check me out on MySpace under the name n2vdubz.

Thanks alot, and remember.... when you're tricking out your ride, you're doing it for yourself, not for someone else. Fuck the haters, and do what YOU like. INDIVIDUALITY is key.

Update:(4/28/05)

Here's some updated pictures with the 17" Motegi MR3 rims back on, and a pic of my de-badged trunk.

(3/25/05)My body kit is finally painted and re-installed!! No more white bumpers!! Here's the newest pictures of the Focus with the kit and the projection headlights finally painted. I didn't have a chance to wash my ride before these pics were taken, so just ignore any dirt/mud that may be visible LOL. I can't wait to see how it looks with the 17"s back on it once the weather gets better.

I managed to take some shots later, the Focus was somewhat clean. I washed it, but it got a little dirty on the drive home.

...and here's a couple of night shots with the neons on.

(3/21/05)Here are some old undercover "insider" pictures of the Focus all naked and shit, without it's body kit or headlights, while it was waiting outside the shop.

(3/19/05)Here's a couple pictures of the APC grill mesh I sprayed to go in the body kit. It was originally silver, but I wanted it to look a little different, and possibly stand out from the normal same old silver mesh. I think it will look pretty good tucked in the body kit.

*In The Beginning: I purchased my 2002 Ford Focus ZX3 brand new, (with 44 miles on the clock) July 21st 2002. Since then I have been steadily working on making my Focus a more noticeable and modded out ride, because I believe in the motto that "stock sucks!". I personally don't believe that mine can even be considered as "stock" looking now! Give me time though! I haven't been able to do as much as much as I have wanted to just yet, but alot of work and ideas are in store for the ZX3, trust me.

*Interesting Info: My Focus was born April 9th 2002, and it's production number is 197,089 (Pretty sad that I know this fact...). My Focus even came with a special card stating that mine was one of the Foci picked at random to be tested from the factory.

Here's my car alarm: Protected by Chihuahua Security! This is my loveable little girl, Molly!! (Yeah, you'd expect maybe a Rottweiler or Pitbull, but I like to be different!)

Here's some better pictures of my ride from weekend 0f 7/25 at a car show in Sidney,Maine.

Here's a couple of "In Motion" pictures of my ride on the haul to Hot Import Nights in Boston this past July! Thanks alot Dave for the "Action" shots!

I also got some pictures of my 205/40/17 Kumho Ecsta tires.

I had Banana Banners hook my ride up with some really sweet looking Gemlite Metallic Green vinyl added to my already white vinyl graphics.

It payed off with a second place in my class at the local V.I.P Show, Shine, and Drag this past July. Next to my Focus is my friend Matt's PT Cruiser which pulled a third place trophy also!!

Here's some old StreetGlow Neon Pictures Before the kit was installed!!

.....and here's a little something for some of the unoriginal Honda drivers. I DON'T HATE HONDAS (We happen to have a few Honda owners in our car club, and they are all really cool members), but I can barely stand all these kids who buy Honda Civics/Accords, think they are super fast when they are fully stock, act like stuckup jerks when they pull up next to you, and then show off like idiots. I'm not saying that Focus' are the best or quickest at all, and this isn't to every Honda owner, but if this does offend you, then you know what category you fit into (and I can expect plenty of negative posts in my guestbook.....).

I'm also a current member of the newest and best auto club in the Maine area!Totally Tricked Auto Club!
