I just bought an 2005 Focus ZX5, its my first Focus so I am a newbie as to what is available for it. I already have clear corners installed but that is it. I need more...please let me know what you have available. I'd like to buy locally but will travel. Of course I checked the internet for stuff but I like not paying full retail if I don't have to! Thanks

your car is really too new to find any used parts for it. Most of our cars are running the 2.0 DOHC Zetec's, your's is running the 2.3l DOHC Duratec.
Really the only thing your car can use off of the older cars is the suspension, and maybe the cat back exaust (not for sure)

At least it's a Duratec, if it is an ATX I hear they can handle almost twice as much HP/TQ as my poor 01 Zetec on the stock tranny.
Welcome to the club by the way.

thanks for the info. BTW mine has the 2.0 DOHC Duratec...and yeah I heard it can take some added HP/Torque and run with it. Way cool. What I am mainly looking for is a Hatchback Spoiler, Cool Taillights, or some Ground Effects. Performance parts are always a bonus. I just tinted the taillights, but not totally satisfied, I think I need new aftermarket tails. If anyone wants the tint for the tails, let me know.

if the newer zx5 tail lights are the same as the older ones, I am kinda partial to the black ones on european-parts.net

I can do the FRPP SVT spoiler kit for $147.00, it's primered so you would need to get it painted.
Have you looked around on Focaljet to se what the guys with your generation car are doing?
Theres a lot of interesting stuff you can do, The '05 can use the same suspension as earlier cars. You can use the same wheels.
The 2.0 Duratec shares the same exhaust systems as the 2.3 and the throttle body is the same so you could get an aftermarket one or have yours ported.
You should also be able to use any intake systems that are made for the 2.3.

I think you can get cosworth parts, which is always a plus
