Opinions needed: V. facelifting the focus

yeah, the SVT are really growing on me. i found aguy with an SVT front and sideskirts for $500 shipped. ill see where i stand after i take my car to hybrid.

they don’t make SVT bumpers anymore? Man i love my SVT bumper, i think i payed 300 for the svt conversion kit a year ago.

SVT

im sure you can still get them from the dealer and such, but they are 'Spensive. im a broke college student at the moment so i dont mind taking one that is broken because i have the know-how to repair it. thats why ive been trying to find cheap cracked euro bumpers. ive been finding guys that will sell me both bumpers for $50 but they always flake because of the shipping hassles.

if i had to have a focus…i think it would be sweet to have it turbo and stock looking for the snky factor…but otherwise i like it the way it is compared to ANY of the options

SVT all day

if your serious i may have a full day i can devote next week while in spring break. otherwise i cant help out until may because of architecture school owning me. this semester is kicking my ass

other options i found that im really liking:
stock bumper with a lip (i would smooth that “moulding” recess thing)

thats a really tough lip kit to find though. its made by JMS

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:

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 cracked my in a fender bender and had it fixed. It was pretty durable because i ended up hitting a deer a few months later and the patch held.

SVT looks sharp and clean. Not really a fan of the others.
