Ok..so far on my focus Sedan I got the following mods
Airbox modded: resonator pulled, mass air duct open and drop in K&N filter
Exhaust modded: Hi-Flo Magnaflow Cat, Magnaflow muffler, dual tips with chrome magnaflow tips
Headlight modded: Ebay special projectors, silverstar hyperwhite bulbs.
Stereo: 2 Infinity Reference 12" 1230 subs, Rockford Fosgate 400watt amp, Alpine 9815 HU
Now I was thinking my next mod would be either the euro tail lights or to get a stock focus spoiler off of ebay and get it painted and installed to give the car a peppier look. I can't do the UDP's or anything to my engine as it will void my warranty SO...I am limited to what I can do. I was thinking a lip kit but then again..this car needs to be winter driven.
Any ideas would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks

Lowering your car can be a cosmetic and performance mod at the same time.. stock ride height on the Focus just looks terrible.
Cant go wrong with the stock spoiler either.

The euro tail lights look ghey. Lower it, it'll be a nice profile and drive a little tigher too...
Maybe get a new header since you've got all that exhaust work done anyway...

"drop it like its hot"
A good suspension setup helps both performance and looks. The smaller drops like the eibach pro kit are still very winter friendly.
I bought a red car, because everyone knows red is the fastest.

Ummm.. have you actually seen the euro tail lights? Euro taillights vs north american taillights you cant even compare.
Now APC altezza style tails are cheesy as hell, dont put those on your car.

Who said UDP's void warranties? IF the problem that occurs is TRACEABLE to the udp then yeah, it'll exclude you from that fix

The problem is everything forward of the firewall "could potentially" be linked to the UDP. Everything from the electrical, cooling, A/C system and by reason of the lack of a damper on the pulley, the engine bottom end itself.
Indirectlty by straining the cooling there is nothing mechanical that couldn't be linked to a UDP by a team of a dozen lawyers.
Never mod a car with anything if you care about a warranty and aren't financially prepaired to walk away from the wreck you created by installing mods.
I have a UDP by the way.
