Back again, but I drove here this time. [Somewhat pic heavy]

[imnotmikal]

The "CD/MP3" button means it will play audio cds (like ones bought at stores) or MP3 cds (you can fit about 100 or more songs on a cd, if they are burnt as an MP3 file, instead of what a standard cd is... AAC i think)

[firebird999]

Ah, okay. Well, I still wouldn't be surprised if the ZTS has one anyway. :P

And thanks for the info about the badges. I guess I will do it myself.

[suicide_star]

Cobra focus...rawr





but it can't mess with the Ferrariclipse


or the Viper Neon

[BulletsRain]

^ That eclipse wouldn't look so bad without that bumper.

I agree that you should paint the badges on your own. Just take your time and be careful. I don't think they are too hard to remove if you wanted to go that route. I know the ones on my are just held on with some kind of adhesive.

[firebird999]

xD Those are hilarious!

Also, about the badges, they'll be gunmetal, but should i paint the "Ford" part black or leave it silver?

[imnotmikal]

Just wondering.
You said your radio has a CD/MP3 button, is there an "AUX" button?

[firebird999]

Not sure. I'll check tomorrow when it's light out.

[XMDrifter]

i think leave it silver. makes it look more professional

So i figure i put my 2 cents in...my thoughts are here is what you SHOULD NOT DO TO THE CAR!

1. No stickers/racing strips/badges of any kind - why? whatever you drive it is what is ur not fooling anyone
2. No loud exhaust/muffler - its not a race car or lawn mower
3. Dont paint the stock wheels - the color doesnt last forever
4. Dont buy any carbon fiber, (keep it all one color) - its just dumb if its the only thing you have on it.
5. Dont cut the springs! - same here just dumb
6. Don't put any kind of neon lighting anywhere on the car - illegal and extremly *** on real cars.

Follow these simply rules, and enjoy your car.

Things that you should do you ask,
Buy a nice set of wheels and dont cheap out on the tires either, lowering springs,ram air intake/kn filter, tint the windows. That's all I can think of on a focus, maybe get some items from the svt model focus.

1. Don't spell lots of things wrong, and misuse punctuation.
2. Don't oppose things that weren't even mentioned.
3. Don't be ignorant.
4. Don't use terms referring to homosexuals, as I can only assume the word in your number 6 was a g word.
5. Don't assume things are illegal everywhere because they're illegal near you. Neon lighting is NOT illegal in all states.
6. Don't be over oppressive of your opinion.

Follow these simply rules, and enjoy your time on these forums.

Have a good day.

Edit-
I recant my comment about your spelling, as I see only one spelling error. The punctuation errors were throwing me off.

[firebird999]

Yes, I was leaning toward silver, but I thought black might look fine. I'll try to learn Photoshop so I can try some of this out.

Also, neon isn't illegal. If it was, Autozone wouldn't be allowed to hang it up in their stores for sale. :P But either way, I would NEVER do any of that stuff you mentioned. Maybe some small carbon fiber accents though, like little bits in the interior, just because it's a cool looking material.
And "stickers" is a bit vague. I'm not 100% sure what you're saying, but if you mean no stickers whatsoever, that's not happening. I'm definitely putting the Apple stickers that came with my iPod in the rear quarter windows, just because I have nothing else to do with them, and I'll get a Weighted Companion Cube decal, an Aperture Laboratories "parking permit", and a couple small band logo decals from Hot Topic in the rear window. But on the actual body of the car, it's highly unlikely. Only a bumper sticker or two, MAYBE, but most likely not.

And no window tint. In my opinion it does nothing to add to the car and just looks weird. And I dunno what all I could do with the SVT Focus, as it's based on the ZX3 (Hatchback). I will raid some ZTS parts though for sure.

EDIT: LOL, INM.

[Streetr101]

unless its a show car you have there..its illegal to have, anyways... the svt focus wheels are pretty sweet, not sure what the interior looks like..but i'm wouldnt be suprise if some of it fits right in to a 4 door sedan. whatever you do to it, hope you enjoy it.

[imnotmikal]

Again, it's NOT illegal to have and run neons in ALL states. I'm not sure where Firebird is from, but I know in NC, neons are perfectly legal to run, as long as they aren't... blue, I believe.

[firebird999]

Yeah, they're legal here (Georgia) as long as they aren't red (Except on motorcycles, all colors are legal for some reason).

[imnotmikal]

A quick google search found that in Georgia, all colors are legal, except blue, not red.

§ 40-8-90. Restrictions on use of blue lights on vehicles

(a)(1) Except as provided in this paragraph and subsection (b) of this Code section, it shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to operate any motor vehicle equipped with or containing a device capable of producing any blue lights, whether flashing, blinking, revolving, or stationary, except:

(A) Motor vehicles owned or leased by any federal, state, or local law enforcement agency;

(B) Motor vehicles with a permit granted by a state agency to bear such lights; or

(C) Antique, hobby, and special interest vehicles, as defined in subsection (a) of Code Section 40-2-77, which may display a blue light or lights of up to one inch in diameter as part of any such vehicle's rear stop lamps, rear turning indicator, rear hazard lamps, and rear reflectors.

(2) Any person who violates paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor......

And when it says anything CAPABLE of doing blue, that means LED or neons on which you can CHOOSE the color are also illegal, but only if blue is an option. Whether or not you RUN the blue doesn't matter. If it can do it, its illegal.

[firebird999]

Blue, that's right. I couldn't remember so I assumed it would be red since it could look like the tail lights from any angle. But yeah, there you have it. Neon is legal here.

1. I wasnt aware this was an english classGo read the rules. Spelling, and grammar are something THAT needs to be used.
2. Its my opinionSo what? You just cut down someone elses opinion.
3. Not sure where that comment came from...???Probably because you ARE being ignorant.
4. Sorry if I offended your sexuallityIt doesn't matter if someone likes the same sex as them, or not. Your still being offensive.
5. agreedDo more research then you wouldn't look like a tool.
6. its a forum, relaxeThere is no 'e' on the end of 'relax' also, you may want to take that as your own advice. Maybe re-read the rules perhaps?
