im not to sure how different the Roush Intercooler and the Presicion Intercoolers are but i have to cut into the Roush front bumper cause the intercooler won't fit so more work and money and time for me.

Looks good.

Sux that you've gotta cut the bumper more to fit the intercooler, at the same time i wish i had that problem.

What sorta headlights and tail lights are you gonna put on the car?

I think that just comes with FI. I had to cut my stock bumper to get mine to fit also.

But see thats the thing with the Presion Kit i didn't cut anything it fit like a charm so i figured since the roush front bumper is most likely going to have a intercooler i though it would fit no problem

Ive said it before ill say it again im keeping those rims

and for headlights i have the APC projectors painted the same blue and the TYC carbon fiber taillights at least for now ill see when it comes together

one question, and somethign im gonna consider if i ever paint my car:

why not shave the rear hatch keyhole??

that blue looks amazing and then without the key hole sticking out IMO would look even better.

I believe Roush sells a 3 different stages of the Focus and only the 3rd stage comes with the Turbo IIRC (I could be wrong here) but I'd bet most cars and bumpers that they sell are not going to have an IC behind them, so they probably do not come prefit for the IC. Just a guess here. :unsure:

i was thinking the same thing.

Is the same shop doing the turbo install? If they are, then they should have thought about that before doing the bumper.

No Dasilva Racing is doing all the motor work and i guess the body shop just figured it would fit and i didn't question that.

and yes theres 3 stages for the roush but it wouldn't make sense for the stage 3 to have a different cut or style as all the other roush

and yaa the key hole crossed my mind but i don't want any cheese on my car
