Minnesota Focus Owners Club

Just to introduce myself I am a 20 year old female who drives a Ford Focus. It's a 2004 and I'm looking to fix it up (get the windows tinted and maybe rims and a system). But, I don't know what type of rims would look good on the tan focus. I'm not getting my windows tinted TOO much. And also, what is a good brand of subwoofers and amplifiers that would do the trick and how many?

I greatly appreciate your opinions.

First off welcome to the site, Second I would suggest the Tire rack to shop wheels because you can see them on your car.

Hopefully that helps.

For subs and amps...Any Pioneer system will work great. I used Pionner subs, with a Rockford Fosgate amp in my beater, 2 10" subs, and it worked great. Although Apine and JL both make great stuff.

Have you already purchased a headunit?

I think Pappy on here was still selling his brand new stuff, maybe check the For Sale section if thats still available, or I'm sure he'll post in here too.

Welcome! As for tint, if you don't wanna go too dark I suggest 35%.. its one below the legal limit (50%). 50% tint is almost not worth getting, its hardly noticeable.. but 35% is a good balance. If you come to some meets, you can check out different levels in person.

Thanks everyone for your advice and opinions. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how I want it. I was thinking about putting a body kit on my Focus but I hate no clue where to get them haha. That goes to show you how much some females know about cares!

Just keep it simple, it'll still look good. A drop, tint, sound and rims is pretty much all the car needs if its gonna just be a daily for you and you have no plans of showing it or autox

body kits can look tight IF they're done right. unfortunately, most people skip OE paint on the kit and it looks like garbage... plus, there aren't many tasteful kits out there for the focus... maybe two.

Wheels/Tires
Drop it 1.5"
some tunes
tint

it's look like a whole new car.

plus, little things like tinted tails or sidemarkers or accents here and there can go a long way

I couldnt stand the way my focus looked when I bought it, now I quite like it's aesthetics

Don't do the body kit. Don't waste the money.

Put the money towards a GOOD set of wheels and tires. No just cheapo's from Discount Tire. Get something decent, get a nice decent drop done, and your car is friggen hot.

Body kits are currently out the door of style IMO. But a decked sedan on nice wheels will never go out...

Welcome!

yeah get a sweet set of wheels and a drop and your set...for a while

but don't get me wrong i LOVE body kits, look at my car if you don't believe me.

hey there well subs and amps are kinda my spec it will all depend on how loud and what music you are listening to rock i suggest some tens if rap and rock twelves if just rap and loud fifteens would do it. as far as the brand pioneer, rockford, infinity kapa perfects or jl's in order from low price and performence to high!

Welcome to the Club!

As for Accessories go with what you like! Once you start its kinda hard to stop as you can prolly see with a couple Focus's on here!

IMO Some of the Nicest in the Country!

If you want to change the look of the car (body kit) I say go subtle and go with a SVT bumpers (SAP rear?) or euro bumpers.

2002 Facelift is where its at.


Is your car a Sedan (guessing by color, don't remember if it was mentioned above)

I appreciate all of your suggestions. I may very well try them! Thanks to all! Feel free to add more suggestions.

Post pics of the car, it might help people visualize what might look good on it.

welcome...body kit trend is going out these days but if you want search for european body kit, they generally looked a lot better but of coz they're spendy.
