The pic of the Focus is a old one.Right now it has the Saleen stripes back on,different fogs, and eye lids

**Phacade** · 04-13-2008, 05:59 PM

Nice red X's!

You'd do well to upload your picture to Photobucket or Imageshack and then link it. Linking to another Forum that requires log-in both won't display the image and burns their bandwidth at the same time.

It showed on my computer so I thought it worked.

they look good

**zx360** · 04-13-2008, 07:43 PM

look good, not a fan of the crazyness on the back window of the SVT but besides that they look good

**boostedzx3** · 04-13-2008, 07:47 PM

That lightning looks sweet! The focus looks good, you should get some different wheels on it and the car would look great! Up to you though, however I say if you like shiny go with a black wheel and a polished lip. If I had the photoshop skillz I would show you how good it could look!

**Phacade** · 04-13-2008, 10:21 PM

I like the flames on the hood of the truck byt the rear window is a bit much for me I think...just a personal take there. Naturally if its your bag, thats all that matters.

**PrettyCar** · 04-14-2008, 10:28 AM

that not a real lightning is it? the lights, ride height, and mirrors are different.

it looks good though, just not a fan of the window or the flames.

Well everybody has a opinion and it doesn't bother me.I'm sure there are things about your rides I'd do differently.I picked the wheels on the Focus to have something other than painted since that's what everybody has.As far as the truck goes not too many people have ghost flames and the back window is because I've always liked the "darker" things like skulls and so on.This will give you a rough idea.

That is a real Lightning,just debadged, build #3786-4000 built 8-19-99.Btw SVT goes by the VIN# to get those numbers.The 00s have slightly different tails (reverse light on top),painted mirrors, and a handle on the driver's side.The 01-02 Lightnings came out with the Euro style tails through the last year of 04.The only difference between the 01-02 and the 03-04 are the wheels.They also have a higher ride height compared to the 99-00.The 01+ had a higher ride height because of the greater payload capacity.

**ridindirtyzx3** · 04-14-2008, 05:54 PM

both cars look good, especially the focus. id really like to get that front bumper for mine

**Methodical** · 04-15-2008, 05:20 PM

is that a euro or us spec front bumper?

Don't forget the power increase from the 99-00 to the 01+, also they put clear headlights on on the 01+ L's too.

There are a couple more things too, but those are the big ones...

**Lifeguardjoe** · 04-15-2008, 09:31 PM

btw the only thing I don't like about the Focus is the chrome wheels. I don't like chrome at all, so it's just not you.

**eg02svt** · 04-15-2008, 09:33 PM

they are both nice cars but the chrome rims arnt my style but hey whatever you like

**Forbidn** · 04-15-2008, 09:35 PM

Get some black rims with a red or chrome lip

I do like the chrome too though, shiney is good

Yeah totally forgot about that.It went from 360/440 to 380/450.See I wasn't 100% sure when they changed over the headlights.

**SuperSlow03** · 04-17-2008, 04:47 PM

As far as the chrome rims go I wanted something spiraled and couldn't find anything painted.Plus I didn't want it to be completely riced out.
