Welcome to Pixel Car Art

[Carly.]

Not gonna have it for a full year now, but hell I do drive it, and it is partially mine already, so a topic is no big deal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif)

Anyway, it's mine but it looks exactly like this:
(IMG:http://gloucestertimes.autoconx.com/photos/000/500986000_1_B.jpg)
(IMG:http://usacars247.com/pictures/15942-0-2003-Ford-Focus-SE-for-sale-by--2009-06-11-16-21-55.jpg)
Tan/grey interior. (I call it that because it's better than saying "tan interior with grey driver's seat from junkyard car because the original split in half.")

Anyway, my plans for it are to get LED bulb thingies for the lights, but the front ones will be purple. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif) I'll also black out all the lights except the reverse lights and side repeaters. Then I'll load up the back window and rear quarter windows with stickers, maybe putting a few on the car itself as well.
After then, I'll probably be broke and need a job.
So I'll get one delivering pizza.
After I get enough moneys, I'll get some Work Ryvers in either flat black or brushed aluminum.

(Like that, but not as cool.)

I'll also upgrade the engine and suspension etc. obviously, but that'll come last since I'm not really big into sleepers. I'd rather get it looking good before it goes fast. Suspension will come first. I want it on the ground! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

And lastly, most likely on impulse, I'll get a bike rack of some sort.

EDIT: And also, I hate those rubbing strips and the little matching bits on the bumper, but I like them on it. So I'll either paint them flat black, pearl white, or flat black/white checkered. Your thoughts?

DO NOT ***ING TINT THE LIGHTS. ITS STUPID ><

[Carly.]

To each their own... Maybe I'll just open them up and paint some of the chrome inside black or a darker shade of chrome at least.

And I'm NEVER getting ANY kind of body kit, Andrew. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif) To be quite honest, I think the stock body kit is the best looking bit of the car.

[Curtis]

tint the glass, not the reflectors... doing that'd f**k your lights completely and they wouldn't be legal (at least over here, i dunno about your side of the pond, for christ sake, a 16 year old can drive a v8 over there...) dumpage and rimmage should suffice, tintage of rear lenses and leaving the front ones alone, OEM foglamps in the side vents maybe? your call

those are just some quick ideas, personally, should funds allow, i'd totally euro that s**t, smooth everything, swage lines, bump strips, door handles grafted in from an audi... the lot

Yeah, you're right. I was trying to please Victor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/xd.gif) I wasn't serious.

But yeah, maybe I will leave the front ones alone and just get clear turn signal ones. Maybe I'll also paint over the side reflectors on the bumper, seeing as they're ugly and pointless.

And personally, I despise smoothing. I like a lot of detail.

Today I realized something... This car would have made a pretty awesome 4 door convertible, actually, but I guess Ford never thought of that. Shame.

Anyway, in real news, I noticed that the back end is uglier than I had thought.

(IMG:http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/vehicle-pictures/2003/ford/focus/1762-048-rear-3-4-480.jpg)
I then noticed that this spoiler would look really good.
Also, on the SE model, the little plastic bit above the license plate is flat black and looks like a handlebar mustache... So I'll probably also replace that with a matching red one.

Also these:

And these:

(Clear bumper lights)

And this:

(Clear signal grill)

[Above two eliminate all orange lighting on the whole car]

And maybe...:

These:

(ANGEL EYES!!! Obviously have to wait until after the rims. Don't want to come off too ricey.)

And I'll edit this post with more later.

EDIT: These are just random auctions I pulled down. In no way am I declaring I would willingly pay those prices. I'll shop around better.

By the time you have enough money for all this stuff... you'll have enough for a car you like more, I'd just save it homie, unless you love the car.

[Carly.]

I actually have grown to love the car. Plus it's good to keep the car I've learned to drive in. I'll be more comfortable out alone.

And actually, all those parts won't even cost $1000, save for the rims, so any car I could get for that much wouldn't really be one that I like more.

And I've had a few changes of heart. Getting the angel eyes and bumper lights with black housings instead of chrome, and a Euro grille instead of the one with clear indicators. Still basically the same price, but so much better.

[Carly.]

What do you think about these? (With the BMW logo removed/painted of course)

[Hellrazr]

your wheels are 4X100 correct me if im wrong?

[Carly.]

4x108.

Yeah, I forgot to mention I'm not talking about those specifically, but the closest looking thing that fits best.

EDIT: NO! I found BETTER ones!

BBS wannabes
or

JK4s, whatever they are. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)
Correct bolt pattern too, so no need for replicas! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif)

Leave that car clean.

Just some BB RS ans a subtle drop.

[Hellrazr]

Agree with Victor on that Simple some times the best way to go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[DMC-12]

Both of those rims are bad.

And you only just noticed how ugly the back of the saloon focus is? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/xd.gif) Also, just paint the damn numberplate light trim thing yourself, there is no need to buy a new one.

And another thing, Forget the indicators in the grille bulls**t. Just get the Euro spec headlights with the indicators included and a clean grille. Looks 100x better. And just change em back for your Vehicle inspection or whatever it is you guys do. And don't buy some overpriced smoking kit. Just buy the smoking spray. You'll save way more dude, you just gotta learn.

This thing looks awesome. Yes yours is the older spec but shush (IMG:style_emoticons/default/xd.gif)
(IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/98LowRanger/FOCI/IMG_8224.jpg)

Or do this with the headlights (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif)

I was already planning on getting a Euro grille. I just forgot to mention it. (EDIT: Wait, I did mention it...) The angel eyes I want have indicators in them.

And keeping it clean was the idea all along. I'm only getting a spoiler and changing the lights, and no other bodywork whatsoever...
And honestly, I'm not sure I really want BBSs on this car, unless maybe I get purple ones... I love the twelve spokes I posted a lot, but they'd be better if they came in white.

EDIT: Actually, those rims look kinda cheap when on a car:

[Mr.Acura-te]

LOL you think he will be able to afford BBS LM's or RS's hahahahah dream on.

[Carly.]

Meh, you never know. It's not like it matters though. I don't think I really want them... At all.
