Sell that body kit on Focaljet or focusfanatics and use that money to get whatever your wanting. The stock sap package will bring a few dollars. Wheels, best idea is search for whatever you like in a 4x108 pattern.

any tire shop will sell you wheels, but no one in the metroplex has parts for a focus, you will need to search online, and find you a body shop to paint and install.

body kits are expensive, and hard to keep for every car in stock. not enough market for a focus to stock a $900 kit.

You're not bugging anyone. That's what the site is for. We all have different areas that we can help each other out in.

What wheels are you interested in getting? I got my wheel/tire package at discount in October 08 for $ 700.00.

i want some thing like a dark colored 5 or 6 spoke. 17" maybe im not too sure what i should do with it. im really indecisive about it. i was just looking at CFM and other sites just to see what i like. but i cant decide what would look best with the liquid grey paint.

Any gunmetal finish wheels with a chrome or stainless lip would look nice. You going to put an exhaust and intake on it?

i plan on doing a lot of stuff to it. David mentioned to me last night that he had an engine i could buy off of him and he would help me put it in. ive only had the car for like 5 or 6 months. but yes intake and exhaust are in the works along with suspension and interior stuff.

We can definitely point you in the right direction on suggestions of what to buy and to not buy.

Wheels, then drop to see where you want to go, you may like the look of the car with the stock "kit". Jason has my old engine on here, but its for sale as he doesnt own a focus anymore.
