Hey all , Haven't done a whole lot of talking on here , But if you are on FF also i have been there , but since this is a smaller group of More Canadian nature i figure i better live up to my nationality and bring some of my Focus love here too
I will post up my project thus far , you guys can tell me what you think and go from there.

First thing i did was i color matched the front upper grill.

Then i went and found a local parts store that could get a SVT front lower grill , and so i modded the original to fit the SVT one.

Then i repainted the CAI to match my color scheme i was going for , and painted the battery cover too . God thats a dirty engine bay.....
