Das Crate....

Here's some pics of the beater; It's an 02 Zetec/5-Speed, Advanced Trac (4 wheel discs/traction/etc.)
I had the day off, so I decided to do some shit to it. I threw on the Black EAP's I had for it (wrapped in Yokohama Parada-Specs 215/40's). Put on Powerslots/Hawks on all 4 corners. Baked the headlights (they were the ugly chrome), painted the housings gloss black and added the eyelids (o2designs had made for it, months ago). Added a mach 1 lip (it's been sitting in my garage for 2 years... from when I had the kaminari front on vader). Did the foglight mod finally. Added a Focus Central shift knob and SVT Radio Console (both old parts from vader).
Prior to today I have done color matched mirror caps, shorty anntenae, intake, SVT upper grill, and nice motorcraft wipers, to the car.
It will be dropped pretty soon here about 2 inches. My girlfriend got me suspension for it, for christmas....
I apologize for the shitty pictures and dirtyness of it.
Vaccum Krew! $2.14

The wheel gap looks worse than it did with the steelies

Must be the low profile goodness.
I like the front though, looks clean and simple.

I know... it's painful.
But, I had a bad leak in one of my winter tires (it would flatten almost daily), so that's why I put on the EAP's. I was trying to wait until I had the suspension on before I put on wheels, but the leak got to bad. Oh well...

Yep. I have a new door, trunk and front fender for the car because of surface rust.
