Hi, Guest
^^^ I was thinking the same thing Ken, or atleast getting some price cuts to help with the import.
There asking $7995US with 77000 Miles and there is one on autotrader.ca for $8477CA with 115000 kms which with this exchange rate is the same price.
I know I would be pretty much just paying the extra money for the interior, but I really don't like the red or blue inserts on the regular svt.
As for the turn signals in the grill smart thinking.
I found this on focaljet about the lights.
"The upper grille on ALL SVT Focus' was a honey comb style AND the lamps built into it did NOT flash if the HIDS were equipped from the factory. The HIDs have their own turn signal lamps built into them as you can see by the pic above. As a result the upper grille lights on the HID SVTs are JUST running/parking lights. They do not flash with the turn signals. If you have a cut wire up there I would be suspicious about whether you have a real SVT or not. But, most likely, you have a 2003 SVT that did not come from the factory with HIDs and someone tried to do a retrofit....poorly I might add. This can be verified by the VIN number. There is no need to cut any wire on the upper grille lamp harnesses unless that harness and fusebox came from a non HID SVT. Even then it sounds like they cut the wrong wire. The flasher in the HIDs should blink....not the one in the grille."
So I could just have them wired up to run as day times.
