Non Focus discussion. Pretty much other cars and off topic stuff.

Well I have an 02 SVT, Pitch black. My buddy is finishing auto body school here soon and I'm seriously considering repaining my car. Get rid of the couple door dings and one dent above the rear bumper. (Bumper and fender dented).

I'm thinking white, it would look sikk next to my dad's 05 white saleen stang.

I think I'd get rid of the side moldings, and paint my SVT rims white. Maybe do a Saleen mid wing also. We'll see how much this would all cost me.

You had me, up until the smoothed side moldings and mid wing. But its your car, go for what you like.

The only other white SVT I've seen was that Pealescent one. I'd like to see a Cloud9 or just a basic white SVT. IMO one of the better colors on the Focus...

Yeah, the mid wing it just a toss up. It's not bad looking but does ruin the flow a bit. The other thing I'd have to do would body paint the headlights. It's a lot of work so we'll see, just an idea at this point.

While you're at it, have your sidemarkers painted white too.

This probably has alot to do with owning a Kona previously, but If i was repainting my car I would go Kona Dirt color. It's like nothing else and really works on a focus.
