So i got a Focus RS wing from Capaildi racing, but even when the RS blue is very similar to the sonic blue i want to get this part painted. Do you guys know where Should I bring this?? I have a Abra collision center around the corner, but this guys usually charge a lot, any idea of how much should i pay?

Thanks for the help

My guess would be $100-175 would be resonable.

I'm having my lip painted and repaired for $50 from a friend and I would think that if you found a somewhat decent hook up you could get it done for probably just a tad more than that.

It's a common problem for people's cruise control to stop working after they install the RS wing. Something having to do with the brake light I believe.

^ Yup.
Solution is to add resistance to the system. The LED's play hell because of the lower resistance. The CC brain can't tell if you're on the brakes or not.

That's because the CC is linked to the 3rd brake light only.
Replace the 3rd with a LED one and see what happens.


Words to live by, damn you Ford. :lol:
