updates post 7, 26, 31, 37 (9/20/09)

well finally found a deal that was worth it and traded in the RX8 for a beautiful 2009 Vista Blue 5spd coupe. I gotta say the changes from 08 to 09 are incredible. bumper, grill, lights; all looks so much better. already have plans for tint, niteshade tails, eyebrows front, stereo (deck, speakers, sub), springs, intake and rear window spoiler. will have other stuff on the way soon too, but these are things I want done first. Anybody wanna trade the wheels for some 17's or 18's?

Looks good!

**DeadlyDean** · 10-10-2008, 07:51 PM

looks great!!!
im liking it in the vista blue!

**kipp** · 10-10-2008, 08:05 PM

Yeah, they got in their first two coupes yesterday morning, silver and blue, and I dont like silver (would have rather had one in black or grey, but blue looks good too).

**4drfocus** · 10-10-2008, 08:54 PM

woohoo! back in a focus

**ADUCARAB** · 10-10-2008, 11:38 PM

looks better then the 08, but still not the biggest fan compared to 00-04

but im alittle biased

**kipp** · 11-22-2008, 05:22 PM

just got the H&R springs put on today. so much better.

**1badassfoci** · 11-22-2008, 11:36 PM

Lookin good so far! Get some rims now and tint the windows and tailights

-Ashley

**kipp** · 11-23-2008, 10:02 AM

yeah that's in the plans. gonna do a color matched vinyl visor on the front (since they cant tint over the dot matrix behind the mirror) and 20% tint. and most likely gonnna go with 17s so i dont rub as much. and then i've got special plans for the head and taillights when it warms up again and i can paint.

**FociDesire** · 11-23-2008, 06:22 PM

i'm sorry i just like hatch backs wayy wayy better....... i would never tune a sedan

**Headofahessian** · 11-23-2008, 06:37 PM

Looks like you got a good start! I love the color, good choice!

This focus is a 2 door sedan, not a 2 door coupe [like a Corvette]

The RX8 is a 4 door coupe.

its a 2 door coupe. and there is a 4 door sedan. all media ford or not calls it so. its the "New 09 coupe" i dunno why you call it a sedan.

A coupé (French word from the verb couper to cut) or coupe is a car body style with a close-coupled interior offering either two seats or [[2+2 (car body style)|2+2]] seating (space for two passengers up front and for two occasional passengers in the rear).

what do you think of the tranny? I was very impressed in our pre production unit

**kipp** · 11-26-2008, 01:42 PM

i love the tranny. smoothest shifting focus i've driven so far

**KUMAYES** · 11-26-2008, 03:58 PM

I like the coupe!

**focusspelledbackwards** · 11-26-2008, 04:45 PM

They should have always been making this. Especially in the first gen cars. Chazz, don't you think your white bomb would have rocked like that? I know that I would have bought it in a coupe.

hmm why do you say it looks better than the 08? My 08 looks identical except it's a sedan and it's silver.
