do keep in mind, when painting things if you do it too cheaply it'll look cheap or it won't last.
you could go with new headlights, or even fog light bulbs, personally I like debadging even though I have yet to do it to my focus, new shift knob (maybe even a short throw shifter?) if you have a manual, new tail lights, license plate cover (tinted or coloured ones are illegal but people still put em on... I've only had a cop mention it once to me), you could tint the windows (I was told the highway traffic act doesn't actually specify what % you're allowed but to be safe it's 35% up front and any % out back, no windshield except for banner), maybe even change out the upper and lower grilles, there are instructions on the internet but you could cut apart your ford emblem and paint it black instead of blue, put a pinstripe around the car, you can go with LED interior lighting, new gauge face, maybe even swap out the seats from cloth to leather (assuming you have a cloth interior) and a step further would be to change the door panel inserts from the cloth to leather too... (I only did the front seats in my focus from grey cloth to grey leather, didn't bother with the door inserts), and I'm now out of ideas. OH! You could also change the ebrake handle and boot.
