Regarding "Nik's" car, lowering the car is a good idea, for handling purposes. Getting a bigger tire with more sidewall,forgive me, but the terminology escapes me at the moment, would make "Nik's" car look even better. I've been reading the progress on this car since I joined, and would, if I could afford it, be doing some of the same modifications. I'm beginning to get the idea that modifying cars is never finished. Good job "Nik"
Having said this, a couple of things we have to remember is that it shouldn't matter what type of Focus, or for that matter, car, our members have, and it seems there are quite a few who no longer have, or have never had a Focus, we all have a "passion" for the cars we are driving and whether or not we agree with another members modification, at least give the member some credit for doing a job, and doing it without making it unsafe or gaudy. Nik's enthusiasm for his modifications is refreshing and shouldn't be doused. I have the possibilty of obtaining a spoiler from a Honda, which, if it fits will be put on. Will I get the same critique, because the spoiler isn't a standard Focus mod?

Here here. Excelent point. Although after time you will get used to Meford's ribbing. I read, chuckle, then forget what he says. Most of the time I think its done more for the reaction.
