OK guys, i know it's stock, but i'm just getting started on it, and i'm only 17 with a part time job, so please, be nice. And just becuase i know someone is going to ask, the future plans are an MBRP exhaust (ordering on monday), hopefully a set of coil overs by the end of the summer, clear corners, definately shaving the focus and SE off as soon as i can, shorty antenna, hopefully rims this fall and other lil stuff i can't think of right now.

welcome. when i was 17 i drove a 13yr old jetta (and right now i am working and i still drive a 13yr old honda), so don't worry about driving a stock focus. just enjoy having a newer car and don't feel like you have to modify it to be cool. my opinion, leave it stock, get better tires, enjoy driving it, save your money for something you really want :) .

White is one of the best colors for the focus, IMHO.

I expected more posts about the taillights, but actually those ones look pretty good on the white. A lot better than the APC tails anyway..
And a stock car is a lot better than a car that has been tastelessly modified to where it looks ugly, remember that.

yea, i didn't like the stock ones, they stood out WAY too much, but i have a question, is there anything i can do to the third brake light, you know, make it clear, or cover it up as white somehow?

Nobody has a right to cut you up...if nothing else, you are completely honest about your ride and didnt b.s. when you could have easily...you got respect in my book...the car is looking great, don't worry about it being stock, think of the money you havent wasted!!!!

Clear third brake lights are a rare little commodity.
I know europarts.net sells em for the hatchbacks now on a regular basis, but for the sedan? Nothing. I checked ebay a while back and found some...
"Focus clear" was my search term. rifle through a few pages and you might find one.
