Started painting my car yesterday and im pretty happy with how it turned out.

What do you guys think?

 

Looks awsome!

 

Very nice. Jealous

 

Turned out a little different from what i was thinking. For some reason painting also gave me leather recaros but i aint complaining.

 

did you happen to trade in with those wheels?

 

I sold it private party but yes the wheels went with it.

 

Just.. just... why?

 

Yea, not a huge fan of the Focus, think the ST is far overpriced for what it is. But as long as you like it, that's all that matters!

 

Nice man! I also did the focus mod, liking yours so far?

 

Oh yea loving it. Got her with 80 miles on it. Fully loaded ST3 with moonroof. got it for 29k OTD and had them throw in weathertec mats, and tint it all for me. Yes its slower but so much nicer in every other way.

 

Lateral move at best. When I get a new car it's going to be an upgrade. Those ford rims are UGLY.

 

Every major car source has noted the ST as by far the best bang for your buck under 30k. I have not seen one bad thing about them. Plus i got 14k for the balt which is what i paid for it almost 3 years ago. Im happy with it.

 

I agree. For that kind of money I would have bought a used Vette or something along those lines.

But as long as you like it is all that matters.

 

Those wheels resemble the new Mazdas oem. Not surprising since the two companies mix and match parts on their cars. Nice ride.

 

Damn 29k, not hating but I would have gotten a new 5.0 for that price range.

 

Deff wouldn't have been my first choice. But it was yours (I'm guessing) and that's what counts.

 

I can understand why people get hot hatches instead of V8's.
Cheaper to mod, cheaper to fill up, and can fit 5 people.

 

If I wanted a hatch it would be an STI.

 

^yup

 

Or probably Speed3 after that.

 

A fully loaded mustang is like 38k before tax. I paid 26.5k for this car before tax and all. The car is family friendly, handles like it is on rail, has every option available, and get 32 MPG and with a turbo swap people are making over 400whp. This car is a more refined and updated cobalt essentially. Thats around the price balts were going for brand new people. STIs are like 10k more and im not a subie fan

 

Well I wasn't talking brand new and I think shortbus was referring to like a new 5.0 used with low miles.

 

Excited to see what options of fast awd cars will be out in 2015-2016. I'd love an awd diesel of some sort, did Subaru ever announce it coming to NA?

 

love that car!

 

Hmm, maybe around you. A base new 5.0 w/leather can be had around here for 27+.
