looks good, could use some new Rims... as those look to small on your car.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

16" or 17" rims for sure... maybe see if the dealer has a spare set of factory 5-spoke 16s kicking around.
After that, intake, exhaust and an ECU tune. Those three things shouldn't break $1000 and they'll be a night-and-day improvement to your 2.0L Duratec. It just wants to breathe. Trust me ;)
Also, if you want to upgrade the suspension down the road (and you want to add a rear anti-sway), you'll likely need the upgraded rear subframe connector from the Ford Racing catalogue. The stock subframe on the ZX3s doesn't come with or accept a rear anti-sway bar; it's a critical addition if you don't want your car to understeer horribly at the limit.

P.S. Go new rims first, with the GFX package I'll never understand why Ford saw fit to only put 15" on the car :rolleyes:

I kinda like the stock 15" rims myself. You don't have to lower the car as much...

what is this MBRP i keep hearing about??? i was goin to go with Magnaflow cuz i had a muffler on the scort and it sounded Hawt.
yes the dice are key and they are off my old escort, damn the rust that took her! she is so getting a 1.5" drop and a sway bar! i do have 17s from the scort but i'm not sure if i should use adapters or get new rims with the right spacing. thoughts on that? anyways thanks for the comments guys!
oh and my buddy i in the pic lives out in newmarket so i might have been out that way if you saw one identical to mine...

http://www.Trubendz.com has a good deal on magnaflow flex back or catback systems. I got the 2.5 inch flex back stainless steel and love it , got the 2.5 since im planning turbo in future if you will be going NA then 2.1/4 is efficient. Let the mods begin , a nice 1.5 to 2 inch drop would look amazing ... keep it clean

If you want something that sounds "hawt", anything from WalMart or Canadian Tire will do you.
If you want a real, Canadian-made T304 stainless exhaust that will add power to your car and a smile to your face each time you start it, check MBRP.
Call their toll-free number (they have up to 4 systems now, but ask Lorraine to be sure) and get a quote for anything between a 2.25" cat-back to a 2.5" flex-back.
Seeing as it's a new car, my mindset is to start fresh. You may want to reuse the rims from the Escort if that suits you.
