I hate copy cats, I had painted my focus flat black last summer and also did the rims and tinted the lights, and now i see this morning a brand new bmw that has done the exact same thing, until I did that to my car it seems like everyone in the peterborough area is doing the same thing. Come on people be origional!

You can be original once again if you do a faux-texture paintjob.

I concede, your idea about stucco was WAY better.

I saw a van in the 70's covered in Astro-Turf. I doubt anyone has done that to a Focus yet.
