-stock bumper
-cut out lower grill
-home depot lip kit
-flat black center section
-flat black upper grill surround
-6000k HID's

im thinking of moving plate to the side or something to show off intercooler better. it covers up my "FS" logo on it :( it looked awesome with the plate not even there at all!

I like the grills and such in front of the intercooler, at least some mesh or something in front. It may help with some bugs/stones so they don't hit the intercooler...
FS on the intercooler is sweet tho, did you make your own stencil?

i made my own stencil, took a logo off their site, blew it up, traced into card board and BAM done lol
i like the euro look a little better. the GFX bumper is to blah to me now, ive had it for almost 3 years LOL
time to change it up plus the old one needed a complete re paint. it was pretty haggard. it also has a split in the lower lip section and the lower grill never stayed in... im sure you can understand why i hated it

Jamie,
Can you do me a favour? Can you do a measurement for me? I need to know what the height is of the bumper compared to stock. I want to change out my stock one sometime, GFX and F2 RS are my only options. Problem is I have a crap driveway that is steep and used to rub my stock one, but I have some better clearance now and might be able to put on a GFX.

ya because i can just grab a stencil of focuscanada to put on a 24" or w.e it is intercooler....
LOL
as for cooling, surprisingly enough, the grill opening isnt a whole lot different. GFX has a dip in the middle aside from that not a pile difference. if i move the plate the entire intercooler is exposed except 0.5" bottom and top which isnt any different from last bumper. u can see the piping going to the end tanks when looking at it. picture doesnt do it any justice at all because it was around 730, my HID's were on and its my cell phone.
once i move the plate and finish up the rest of the touches ill post some updated pictures.
this was a cheap solution to a better looking front end paint wise. personally i love it!

when every focus in my area has the GFX bumper, and no1 has a modified stocker i like it better lol
i dont like looking like other peoples cars. not to mention i work with a guy who has (had) an almost identical focus as some may of met at the meet.
ive changed the car a lot to not go with the grain. looking like everyone else is just ghey. its still clean, no big flares or wings. plain.
Also, still looking for foglight blockoffs and marker lights. anyone have any??

Looks great man!
I planned on smoothing out the body lines and putting it on, but I found my SAP front for $250 with the grill, fogs, and already painted black so I ended up not needing this bumper anymore.

Why not do something interesting with the fog light openings like duct the cold air somewhere useful?
