the svt look is clean but yours stands out a lot more. one big reason i like the look of your car is because it stands out without being gaudy or ricey. keep what you have. ---

I bet if you actually painted your bumper and got the rattle can paint off there it would look wayyy better. I think you should just stick with what you have. ---

yeah, im thinking about putting a good runthrough on what i have and possibly lay real paint on it. i already know its $250 for the paint materials needed to do the two bumpers and sideskirts. i guess we shall see. id hate to spend that money on paint and then want to switch bumpers…the biggest reason the color rattle canned on there dont match is when i wetsanded and buffed i was a noob and used 400grit LMFAO ---

what you have now just isnt my style personally, i really like the euro bumpers and the rs bumper (i know you said its not really an option because everyone with a focus is doing it) i had the same problem, i didnt want to get fn’s for my 240, but at the same time, if i see 2 240s in the wny area with the same wheels as me id be suprised. it doesnt bother me as much if everyone that has the same shit as me because they are so far away.
