Nothing new, just a couple more pics - Focaljet

**Ataru** · 01-10-2008, 02:22 AM

I never got any good shots of Sonic after my vandalism repair and fuel door install this past July, so I thought I would take some updated pictures.

That was, until my camera crapped out 4 pictures into the photo session.

Remembering to charge your camera battery is a good idea before embarking on a photo shoot.

Anyways, here's what I got:

You can BARELY see the [FJ] decal on the subframe.

They are all from the rear quarter because I wanted to get some shots with the new fuel door. Besides, I think the rear quarter shots are the most striking on the Focus compared to front shots.

The damage repair turned out great, and I think the fuel door looks a lot better painted to match the car than in bare aluminum.....at least on Sonic Blue.

looks good...fuel door looks nice

Hotness as always!

Ever think about a set of Euro Tails, J?

And did'nt you get a set of SVT sideskirts? Maybe you did'nt, don't remember...lol

But those are the only two things I'd ever change...maybe a setof SonicMach's...lol

^ The car looks awesome in that above-posted shot.

Too bad the photog sucks big japanese fighting beetles; the Focus is out of focus.

**steedafocusgirl** · 01-10-2008, 03:28 PM

I like the school bus on the hatch..... lol

Euro Tails? I want some, but don't have the fundage right now.

SVT sideskirts? A friend had a set off his SVT and I was going to get them, but then his wife messed up one of the sideskirts on HER SVTF so he's keeping them to replace hers.

Machs? Definitely want as well.........painted black thank you. Or some ST170s.

It's a challenge getting the shutter speed just right to get motion blur in the wheels and keeping the car in focus as it zooms by. Add in an overcast day, and I am sure it wasn't easy getting all the settings just right.

**MEANSVT** · 01-11-2008, 12:20 AM

Looks good dude I had a FJ sticker on the subframe of my old SVTF and on the current one.

**Ataru** · 01-11-2008, 12:21 AM

I know......I stole the idea from your car.

**Nickgt40** · 01-11-2008, 12:44 AM

Heh, you know you're doing something right when the Admins are copying you

Looks great btw, I love the wheels in your pics...well, both sets actually, nice car!

**pitchblackzx3** · 01-11-2008, 06:22 PM

Clean, as always.

thats where i put an FJ sticker too when i had my Focus.

**Phacade** · 01-12-2008, 07:14 PM

I've always liked the way Sonic looks, although I must admit I like the way he feels better. One of these days I might have to liberate those shocks off Sonic...then again I recall you've threatened to remove my Recaro racing seats as well; so I might be best to leave sleeping dogs lay.

**hotdimmes** · 03-12-2008, 02:02 PM

Looks great! How did you prep that fuel door for paint? I'm assuming it's an aluminum mustang fuel door?

**ryancsvt** · 03-12-2008, 02:35 PM

That color matched fuel door is PIMP
