I’m not trying to knock the car r the work going into it but IMO the real bumper in side profile does not look as good as the conceptual rendering. I do NOT like the way the new focus front end looks cut off when ford hacked together a new front end on the 05’s. The corner profile just does not flow right at all. The concept drawing I think addressed this very well, but the kit being maid does not. Like I said, the drawing looks like a new bumper designed just for 05+ foci, the real thing looks like a modified RS bumper or something off the original focus, and the side profile where the bumper meets the fender does not flow as well. Again this is meant as constructive criticism.

I still do not like the 05 focus looks at all and I’m waiting for a kit or bumper or something to change my mind. So far that has not happened, and it does not look like it will.
