2007 Foci... - Drivesthebeast - 08-20-2006
Ok let's see...
Ford offers the GFX on the 3/5 Door SES models and the SE 4 door model, which is fine and dandy, but why not on the ST TOO!?
No offence to those of you with the SES or SE models, but I think it's retarded to put a gfx kit on the bread n' butter models, and not the actual "performance" varient...
Where's the logic in this? If I was shopping for a Foci, and wanted an ST, I'd WANT the GFX kit on it, complete, and not just the rear diffuser type bumper. Why should someone with an ST have to buy the GFX seperately after buying the car, or buying it aftermarket...this is stupid...
Anyways, on another note...I convinced my roomate to leave the "Civic Nation" behind...he's traded in on a Black on Black Leather, fully loaded 2003 Escape XLT V6 Limited...whoo hoo! 1 down, only a few million to convert! :P

The GFX package can be put on any hatch or sedan. Listed or not. (and yes, from the factory)
EDIT: Just did a 'build your vehicle' online quote, and it shows the listing to add the GFX package to an ST.

Well, I am glad to hear that...coz my parents are still considering the ST, and possibly with the GFX...it looks nice when the car is black like yours... B)

That would be cool...
2007 Foci... - microbunny - 08-20-2006

sorry to those that have it..but the 2 foot high 'honda-esq' wing looks disgusting!!

According to internal Ford docs the GFX package is standard on ST for '07.

I was able to add it as an option on Ford.ca "build and price" as well. The only lot cars I've seen with the GFX are ZX5 SES models.
2007 Foci... - Drivesthebeast - 08-20-2006
It's funny...the brochure for 2007 lists the GFX as unavailable to the ST...but based on the info you guys have shown me, I guess the decision to offer it on the ST was changed/added after the brochure was printed...
Thanks for the info...

Even cooler... I'm sort of warming up to the picnic table spoiler...
2007 Foci... - Drivesthebeast - 08-21-2006
I think the spoiler and the whole GFX kit looks less ridiculous when the car is lowered and has 17's under the fenders...it looks like a more complete package then...
2007 Foci... - microbunny - 08-21-2006
They should offer some new oem rims...
The 16's are nice but so old now!! You'd think they would make a new design!?
Or make those euro-17's on the ST stock..that would be hott!
2007 Foci... - D-Dub - 08-21-2006
I think they should turbo charge the 2.3 like it is on the new mazda suv....It is essentialy the same engine.
2007 Foci... - NOS2Go4Me - 08-21-2006
^^ He's right, or at least bump up the compression / use different cams and give it a reason to be called the ST!
Also, I like Paul's idea - 17s or even 18s to counter the Cobalt SS / Supercharged SS's 18 inch rims. They're drop-dead gorgeous!
2007 Foci... - Drivesthebeast - 08-21-2006
I keep bugging my buddy to put the Cobalt SS S/C 's rims on his Malibu...I know they fit because the Malibu Maxx SS comes with the same wheels...
