please don't do that rediculous wing. i'd expect you are also gonna mod the rear bumper. other than that it looks good!

just re-posting this again... so everybody can see it on the 2nd page.

nosliw2004
03-13-2006, 02:10 AM
well i'd go w/ the black 5 spoker. what color are you gonna paint the car? if it isn't gonna be black then you should still repaint the inner spokes of the rim to match the car if you chose the black 5 spoke. btw where did you get the 10 spoke aluminum from?

rasta_dubbed
03-13-2006, 03:22 AM
body color will be PEARL YELLOW..

nosliw: rims are from my stock cars, that i modded w/ dubs. :)

This is just a sample.. but im gonna paint mine.. with pearl yellow..

and ill Modify the body (skirts , intercooler) and interior. :)

can you tell me what specific car you got those rims from? i ask because they remind me of benz rims. and if you do choose that black w/ chrome lip rim you should paint it yellow to match the car.

LA-CUSTOMS
03-13-2006, 05:21 AM
i think you should go wtih the 10 spoke wheels dude

Legolas PT
03-13-2006, 06:00 AM
the black one is great...but the seconds ones are beatifull as well :)

Hobbes
03-13-2006, 09:27 AM
Something told me you were gonna paint it yellow...

The 10 spoke painted black will definitely set this car off. :)

rasta_dubbed
03-13-2006, 09:44 AM
@nosliw.. i cant really remember... dont worry.. ill just post, if i can

remember... :)

thanks for the comments guys..

will be updating picture's later... (interior)

Quick Nick
03-13-2006, 02:15 PM
id say go with the 5 spoke with the crome lip but you are going with yellow .. i would try painting the rims the same color as the car!

rweeda
03-13-2006, 02:28 PM
rims: last one 5 spoke chrome lip
Make something nice of the focus.

nice touch. paint the wheel to match the car no matter what rim you are using. did you paint the seat belt buckles red?

rasta_dubbed
03-14-2006, 06:13 AM
quick: thanks...

nosliw... it was painted already... but i did some re-touch... so it will

be that visible.. :)

is that what your actual kit looks like? or is that a computer image. you should detail the intercooler instead of it being a block of chrome.

rasta_dubbed
03-15-2006, 06:36 PM
its the actual kit.

will update more pics soon...

:)

nosliw2004
03-15-2006, 06:39 PM

rasta_dubbed
03-15-2006, 06:54 PM
nosliw.. thats the front/side/back skirts that im putting on my stock FOCUS..

those parts is the actual picture, of the parts that ill be putting on my stock focus..

taken from another car... it will be sanded/prime and painted... and will be

custom fitted to the tuner focus.

Hey man.. it looks AWSOME! fast work.. but one thing.. the intercooler should be inside the bumper.. not only would rocks and other things puncture it going down the road.. it would just look better behind a little cutout in the bumper with some mesh grill over it, just an opinion! looks awsome either way

rasta_dubbed
03-24-2006, 08:18 AM
yeah... ill try to fix that... im not really into tuner....

this is my first tuner project... (im into classic cars.. etc..)

will take your advice.. thanks man,

:)

nosliw2004
03-24-2006, 09:52 PM
yeah was just gonna say about your intercooler...
and u said that you weren't gonna put a ridiculous rear wing on it!
other than that everything else looks nice exept the rims. you should paint the center yellow to match. and you should also take the antenna out.

Sorry if this thread is died. But I was thinking about the body kit...it doesn't really line up really good. So if I may make an suggestion...make it all smooth. Like bondo the gaps between body and bumpers...that way it looks all one piece. Not sure if anyone agrees but I've always felt cars should look that way. But great work on it. I wish I was patient enough to do something like that...instead I am toying with a 1:1 1995 VW Golf.

i like where this is going!

and LOVE those black 5 spokes

I have that same focus lol, except I chopped of the front clip and put an Integra clip w/ Supra tail lights, it was an easy to work with car, the stock kit you have on it looks better in yellow then mine did in blue lol, the wing looks like it's from a Hot Wheels Tuner Focus, but nice, and yeah, inset the Intercooler lol, good work.

rasta_dubbed
03-28-2006, 04:44 PM
thanks...if i have time.. ill re-do this project..

@elrx supra tails? how does that work? did u make the supra tails verticle?
@rasta you don't have to redo it. do it to your taste.

@elrx supra tails? how does that work? did u make the supra tails verticle?


Nope, I custom made the rear hatch to open in two parts, the top opened up, the bottom opened down, the factory taillights were removed and filled, and the Supra tails were placed along the bottom of the hatch.
