New Shoes On The Foci + More! - lgSPI - 09-08-2008 I was driving with my azenis on everyday, and I needed to save them for the few track days left in the summer. Lucky, I was given Ford Contour wheels, 6.5" and 47,5mm offset to ride around town. [thumb] [headbang] 1. I cleaned the wheels with Simple Green Max. 2. What I bought! 3. Ready to paint! 4. drying time... 5. Installed the new shoes today 6. My new shift knob! New Shoes On The Foci + More! - mo_focus - 09-08-2008 what shift knob is that? New Shoes On The Foci + More! - Canadian ST - 09-08-2008 Your wheels turned out nice man! Good job.

I used it on the track and it when fine. But you pay for what you get, it's 8 $ but I don't think it will last 10 years, probably just a few. :D New Shoes On The Foci + More! - NikiterZTS - 09-08-2008 lgSPI,Sep 7 2008, 04:10 PM Wrote:mo_focus,Sep 7 2008, 02:58 PM Wrote:what shift knob is that? i think its fake Honda S2000 shift knob.....but i love......wow i want one now! does it just screw on like a stock one does or its got it little screws to hold on the shaft?

New Shoes On The Foci + More! - Scorcher000 - 09-08-2008 Yes very nice, Same paint I used on my calipers, thought they faded after awhile from the heat. Quick fix keep wax of tire shine on them at least once a week to keep them like fresh paint. I sugest next clean off the side moldings.

New Shoes On The Foci + More! - NefCanuck - 09-08-2008 I like the job on the wheels but the red numerals on the shift knob don't match with your car IMO... NefCanuck New Shoes On The Foci + More! - Focus man. Focus. - 09-08-2008 Looks great man, nice work. Did you paint the center caps aswell? The knob looks good aswell. Will the boot reach top of the shifter?

This is what it looked like on the Ford Contour at 1st. New Shoes On The Foci + More! - Flofocus - 09-09-2008 looks better with them on. ;) New Shoes On The Foci + More! - ZX3_2NV - 09-09-2008 i say paint the caps id you want to get creative you can put a sticker covering the ford logo and change it to silver with a different logo and maybe paint the "screws" a different colour like crome or silver New Shoes On The Foci + More! - ZTWsquared - 09-09-2008 ZX3_2NV,Sep 8 2008, 11:00 AM Wrote:i say paint the caps id you want to get creative you can put a sticker covering the ford logo and change it to silver with a different logo and maybe paint the "screws" a different colour like crome or silverOr perhaps find a centre cap that will at least fit in the central hole ... then get some nice chrome nuts to finish it off New Shoes On The Foci + More! - lgSPI - 09-09-2008 ZTWsquared,Sep 8 2008, 10:21 AM Wrote:ZX3_2NV,Sep 8 2008, 11:00 AM Wrote:i say paint the caps id you want to get creative you can put a sticker covering the ford logo and change it to silver with a different logo and maybe paint the "screws" a different colour like crome or silverOr perhaps find a centre cap that will at least fit in the central hole ... then get some nice chrome nuts to finish it off I could, but I wanted this to be cheap (cost me 14$ so far :) ) and the rest dosent matter much. I would of taken more time if it been a 500$ project, but For now, all I want to do is go lapping with my azenis before winter gets back! hehe :D |
