I thought there was also a light tan Euro Focus that had the fenders pulled smooth?

OH MY, me likey.


But that isn't the one I remember. far as i remember it's a US based member and I think he/she was from California. Was maybe from 03/04 ish (before I left FJ the first time I think).


. . .

Damn that thing is pretty though. Wow.




*edit

Found a possible FJ SN Fasttraxturbo (sp?). The account is gone though and it's hard to find pictures of it, I've found none so far.
and if you're curious it's the guy who designed the Focus Sport turbo kit for the car.

FastTrax is Jon from HKS. He was the orignal owner/builder of the Pumpkin, the Mandarain Copper Wide body hatchback. And it had sidemoldings...

It still has the body line, though. NHFocus from FJ:

I would do it if I had a 2005+, but the 2000-2004 cars have holes in the body for the trim.

^Not all of them. I've seen with holes and W/O. Pretty much a crapshoot which you have.

I have holes, a yellow '02 near by me doesn't and had moldings when new (I removed them for the kid).

I think you can pull the door panel and see if it has holes or not, been a while though.
