Car look great in the pics, but far better in person. Also those pics are sans center exit exhaust. Damn it, I been at tousley for parts too many time in the last couple weeks.

PS. Where are the eyelids?

I know you like the grille, so I'll leave ya along. I can appreciate it because its the only Focus like yours with it...I like the one one mods ya know...
I'll take a couple silver MNFOCUS stickers if you've got them

The eyelids are in my garage, I test fitted them and I can't decide if I like them on my car. I'm also worried about the laminex on my HID's and what will happen to it if I put on the eyelids and then want to remove them.

With the cost of those lights I hate to mess with them too much

if your worried about ruining the lights, just use some vinyl. its super cheap and easy to put on.

And yes, I do clean mine.

Yeah, but this was a quick wash at one of those quarter do it yourself places and I had my two daughters sitting in the car bored to tears while I did it.

I was in a bit of a rush, I'll do the full on cleanup when it warms up a bit outside.

Actually I had no trouble at all picturing you with the car on jackstands lying underneath it and cleaning the undercarriage with a toothbrush

I use a big cotton sponge, and a dish scrub brush with Dawn for the undercarriage. I wait until its warmer out to do it.
