the car belongs to the guy that posted this thread … Nick …

and the dash around the radio is factory painted, making it easy to scratch, but at the same time, those marks hardly show in person, they just look like crap in pics

its an easy fix tho … a piece of 400 grit, some primer and a coat of new paint … wouldnt take more then 1/2 an hour if you took ur time

sorry about the red…the focus is an “S2” edition and the color theme of the S2 is grey and red, so i stuck with it…i like it alot, better than where most people will go crazy makin the WHOLE interior two tone spray paint where your blinded drivin in the sun, i think its just enough to make a statement. im all about bein different, thats why im boostin a focus
