lil d i thought the same thing, so i asked eibach and they read me off the sportline spring numbers and it all matched. the rims are 17 inch ford racing 10 spoke tuners and the tires are 205/40/17 it does sit lower then my sedan does and it has the 1.5-2.0 drop on it.
i cant complain on my lic plate frames, they were free but ill be replacing them soon, dont know with what but they were a hell of alot better then the dealer frames.
Overall nice job on the car and matching it to your truck. All you need now is a trailor the same color and drive them into some shows. And if you do a graphics or striping personaly I'd match the car and truck. There is a guy who has a SVT Lightening and a SVT Focus, both the same color, and he striped both the same and it looks cool when they sat side by side. I beleve his name is DonsBolt.
As for the rims personaly I like the 14-16 spokes, I wanna get the Euro ST170 rims, but the 10 spokes are nice also. I would not run expensive 17" rims for auto cross tho(like in the pic you posted), unless I had no other choice.
I bought my first focus and it was black and a couple years later (don't ask, long story involving a Saturn but I won't do it again) I bought a used focus and it was coinsidently black also and about 2 weeks ago I bought a toyota pickup to replace my F250 and guess what??? Yep its black also.
thanks fx, im definitly going to change out the rims and put the 10 spokes back on the sedan, i took a good look at it today and kinda lost the buzz with the stock x3 5 spokes on it. i pretty much gave the sedan to my wife but it still has to look cool as far as the matching paint scheme, i had planned it out on my ranger to match the 250 with all kinds of crazy stuff. i may have a few other things in store for the focus.
heres a sad story with a happy ending (no not that kind) :::::::::: i went to my wifes graduation today and parked far far away, where noone was at, we finally walk out and i see some jackass in a beat up pos car is about 9 inches off my drivers door. the closer i get the more pissed off i become. untill i get there, and see a huge door ding. i climbed in through the passenger side and moved away from the bucket and stoped to think, well i didnt do nothing to this said car, ok still pissed i called my bro at the dealer and told him what was up, he said bring it down, our dent repair guy is here now. so i did, got clowned for the ding on my door by all the guys at the dealership. (i know everyone there so it was in bad taste but good humor) the dent guy checked it out, broke out his tools and worked it for about 15 minutes, gone, cant even tell, and after charging the dealership for the repairs he did on the cars in the lot, he turned to me and said NO CHARGE !!!!! so i got the last laugh and my cars good, and now so am i. the end
Sucks that it got a dent so soon in its life! I have a couple little ones on my passenger side rear quarter I suspect are the victims of parking lot morons... grrrr, they're small but I KNOW they're there!
my eibach suspension is getting lower day by day, ill have to get another pic up from the last ones, but its allmost 1/2 to 3/4 lower in the front now. i messed up on the strut bearings and have to have them replaced allready, but ill reclock the springs and try it again. i ended up having to buy another set of the eibach camber kit for the front and hopefully it dont happen again. then i can put on the fs strut bar and rear stress bar.
next up after its all squared away is a dynamat treatment because you hear every little thing inside the cab of these cars.
dont buy dynamat...theres a cheaper altenative and its made out of the same stuff as dynamat. called peel-n-seal at lowes...ill find my picture of the stuff next to one another. there is no difference

its been a while, i been really busy with everything but havent stopped modding the zx3. i traded in the 01 sedan for a new fusion for my wife. well i switched rims on my car, removed the side moulding, installed a new sound system, steeda short throw shifter and ordered some more goodies like the b.a.t. 300mm disk break upgrade and the rear disk conversion and if all goes well im waiting on the focus sport stage 2 turbo kit. im also going to color match the front chrome grill. to much stuff to do and not enough time or money. ive had the clear bumper lights for over a year now, still on the shelf in the garage.

Its a Factory US Ford part. It is the wing off the 01 S2 Edition ZX3. any Ford dealer should be able to get it and it is also in the ford Racing catalogue. I am guessing about $200 through Ford for it. Oh ya... And its Eurithane(sp???) and not Fiberglass
exactly what fx3 said, only through ford it was going to cost me about 400 bucks. i found it on e bay for 170.00 shipped, still in its original ford box and it was 40.00 to get it painted.
but ill be replacing them soon, dont know with what but they were a hell of alot better then the dealer frames.
