Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I appreciated it... it looks like tint, exhaust, new headlights, and some other things are popular.
I'm not driving to Newfieland with my car... no way in hell :D

GPS is cool... GPS in a FRS is even cooler. Then you can bitch people out for being lost while knowing exactly where you are :D

Sorry Guys, I have NO idea what GPS is?

Lemme put on my geek hat for a sec here:
GPS - Global Positioning System (Satillite) uses satillies parked in orbit around the Earth to triangulate your position relative to your GPS sender unit. With the right mapping system you can find out where you are to the metre and depending on the model of GPS you buy can get turn by turn instructions for travel. (which I sure could have used at the BBQ, but I digress :lol: )
Hope that clears it up, if you need a more detailed explanation let me know.

Keep in mind SangriaRedZX5, When doing any upgrades you might void your warentee on your 2005 focus, so check with your warentee or your ford dealer to find out how far you can go without voiding your warentee.
I was told doing anything to your stereo could void ones warentee just for changing over the speakers.

They would have to prove the speakers is what caused the piece going in for work failed, so the only think i could see is voiding the warranty on stereo peices only, but if the engine blew well the speakers couldn't cause that :D but knowing ford they would hassle yah about it :rolleyes:
Id go intake,exhaust,tint,silverstars,nightshade taillights and etc.. all the small stuff really counts :)

Don't get me started on goddamn potholes. My car + my sister + pothole roads in New Brunswick = future suspension problems.
Seriously, I'd go with rims first if I were you. 16's or 17's preferred.
