**built23duratec** · 04-11-2008, 01:45 AM

I realize these aren't the greatest pics, I'm still learning how to take good shot with my camera.

**Counterfiend** · 04-11-2008, 01:54 AM

is that white on the front bumper?

**1badassfoci** · 04-11-2008, 02:00 AM

It looks like it is white! I love white wheels tho! More pics of the front bumper PLEASE!!! I really think the F2 kit is hot! I may have to even put in on my sedan and take the ricey bodykit off! LOL!

**Tugboat** · 04-11-2008, 02:04 AM

Nice, that thing is slammed!

**Counterfiend** · 04-11-2008, 02:22 AM

dont get me wrong, the car looks great,

just not sure of the white on the bumper.

**MondoMan** · 04-11-2008, 02:25 AM

That is one sweet looking ride! I like the white rims where did you find them? Are those rims hard to keep clean? the reason that I'm asking is I originaly wanted white rims but the black rims are growing on me.... I have a white 08. oh and dont listen to the haters the white on the bumper is a nice touch.

**1badassfoci** · 04-11-2008, 02:49 AM

Those are the SVT rims painted white I believe!

**focusownerskid** · 04-11-2008, 02:49 AM

Love the car.

The haters?

**robluko** · 04-11-2008, 03:52 AM

LOVE THE WHITE ON THE BUMPER!!!!! I ties in great with the wheels! It is screaming for some clear turn signals though...

First one I've seen with a color in those spots other than black.

**built23duratec** · 04-11-2008, 04:01 AM

i was expecting mixed reviews on the bumper, yes...obviously it is white on the bumper, most RS kits ive seen have black in those areas, all of which were not on a liquid grey car. It goes with my theme. As for the wheels, they are just FRPP SVT wheels, they came powder coated white, they certainly are a PITA to keep clean, tbh, ive got so much road rash on this set I almost gave up caring...notice how all my pics are of driver side, its mostly because passenger side has a lot of 'blemishes' and the front passenger wheel has been media blasted from when i thought they were going to get a fresh powder coat but needed the wheel so..yea...the whole car needs a fresh coat...and i plan on doing away with the side molding eventually. oh yea, and in regards to it being 'slammed', its not really...Its only a 2.5" drop (eibach sportline springs) but the rs body kit is about 3" lower than the factory bumpers and the skirts are about an inch maybe more, lower than without the skirts. as requested here is a better pic of the front bumber, Ill try to remember to take a full frontal pic next time i go out...

**1badassfoci** · 04-11-2008, 04:38 AM

I like it! Its different! I am gonna add you to myspace! I have a white sedan w/ white wheels so you know who I am!

-Ashley

**zetecgt** · 04-11-2008, 07:48 AM

Welcome to [FJ]

I hate to be a party pooper, but I'm with everyone on the white accents on the bumper.

I have a liquid gray F2 widebody and black accents are the only way to go.....

I do like the SVT wheels though.

ford racing released these wheels in white, gold (i believe), and black ..for a limited time if im not mistaken. they came with the ford racing center caps instead of SVT. so..i love your ford racing wheels haha

wow i havent seen a set of these in a long time. i love em man. they look great

-justin

**benfxtx** · 04-11-2008, 08:38 AM

I dig the white wheels on the car. As far as the white accents go, I'm not sure how I feel about then. It seems like you need some other white in other places...but I don't know where to suggest. Day pics would help.

**ridindirtyzx3** · 04-11-2008, 09:49 AM

ur car looks great, especially the wheels... but im not really feeling the white accents in the bumper. everything else flows together pretty good, and then those just kinda stick out. but its ur car, so if you like it thats all that matters. now i think you need a fmic to take up that space in the lower grill

**drod01** · 04-11-2008, 10:55 AM

Its pretty clean..i like the white accents it's different and the rims...

**nepa03focus** · 04-11-2008, 01:57 PM

i like it too! it looks very rally-ish to me. you could paint the mirror caps white too sorta like the mini coopers have. just dont put a union jack on the roof.

**built23duratec** · 04-11-2008, 03:08 PM

It definitely needs more white, this i know...I just cant think of any other places to put it. I was THINKING about painting the roof white, but im not sure how that would look. I know it will help with radiant heat from the sun but asthetically, eh...ill have to get a fat roll of white paper and tape it on just for a rough idea of how it would look...some stickers could be done in white but thats another things im not so sure on, they draw unneccessary attention on the streets.

**built23duratec** · 04-11-2008, 03:08 PM

here is an absolutely HORRIBLE photochop of a couple areas ive been considering puting more white...

**chaz493** · 04-11-2008, 04:00 PM

nope, just dont like it. great parts, wrong color. but im glad you like it and more power to you.

**2focusd** · 04-11-2008, 04:45 PM

I also respect your decision to be unique in your modifications, but white just doesn't flow with the Liquid Grey as much as something like a Toreador Red, Blazing Copper, Sonic Blue, or whatever-the-name-was-of-the-'05+ Black Cherry-ish color

PS - as far as I know, all of those combinations would be original as well

-Brian

It's your car, but no way would I ever do that to mine. White and Liquid gray just don't go together to me. The wheels look fine, but anything other than that tends to make me

.........but like I said, it's your car....

and as long as you're all

over it, great!

**1badassfoci** · 04-11-2008, 06:40 PM

Ya no dont do that! It wouldnt look good! Oh and im sorry your ford racing wheels look awesome! LOL!

-Ashley

**o2_designs** · 04-11-2008, 07:39 PM

I like the color combo of the LG with white wheels, but IMO, thats about as far as it goes. But a white roof would be different...

**LornesBored** · 04-11-2008, 07:41 PM

you know what the car looks REALLY nice for a mismatched colour scheme.

I'd leave the hood and roof alone, it looks pretty cool and I didn't think I would ever say that about a car with those 2 colours.
