go euro bumper replica or SVT. the rest of the pics made me want to throw up. don’t be afraid to keep what you have. you have the only focus i’ve ever seen that didn’t look like shit. it seems like everytime there’s a heavily modified focus, something stupid was done to it. yours stands out strongly, but looks good. :tup: ---
