I drive a silver one............Sync, leather seats and the sun roof are nice options.
Fun to drive and very good on gas.
I drive a 2010 Golf that growls at people when it goes over 3000rpm.

I havent set up the sync yet but it sounds cool. I didnt bother with leather this time, I had the leather rip at the seems in my 05 and didnt want to deal with cold seats in the winter (even with heated seats) Mind you the leather looks pimp in the 08's. Yah gas is greatand I even got that tax credit with the standard.

Tint comes on this weekend or next, There was a coupe with the EAP's but the dealership wanted $1600 for rims and tires. I like the stock rims personally but if I can get a good deal on the EAP's I will pick up a set.

The "zits are riveted into the body panels, if they were just stuck on with double sided tape I probably would.

i could be getting FC members confused but IIRC you were looking for a AWD V6 fusion to put big rims on?
it just seemed like you were really set on it.. wondering if you will end up trying to trade up to it sooner rather than later
but that's really neither here nor there.. congrats again on the new car! i'm not a 'cosmetics' kind of guy but perhaps you can paint the side 'vents' with a non reflective black paint

Ya that part was true I was going to get a Fusion V6 but I have these stupid student loans looming over me. So I decided to pay off the student loan and get a cheaper car. I really did like the Fusion espeacially with the Street apperance package. Oh well in a few years no more loan or car payments.

Congratulations on your new car. I think you're the first to admit buying a 2008 Focus :lol: All you've got to do now is start looking at parts to mod it out. I would think that that shouldn't be too hard for the engine mods.

Engine and (some) suspension stuff should be fairly painless... at least the drivetrain will. Body mods? Not so much.
You picked the car you wanted and that's what matters. Congrats Nathan!
