mrgdr57 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thanks. Was about to order but did a comparison and one thing stood out... McGard are made in the USA. Do you know where Gorilla locks are made? I couldn't find any information. Good question. The Gorilla installation card indicates product trademark info and made in the U.S.A.

ClutchTime Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 My wife found out her next clinical for her nursing school masters is over 100 miles one way from our house. She's currently driving her dad's hemi-powered Ram getting around 14ish mpg. We were waiting until our Explorer arrives to get another vehicle, but she has to have something next week. So, we went to look at a Fiesta and found the exact Focus we had planned on ordering and brought it home. Our first plans for it are to start winding up the odometer and smashing bugs!

DEREKC Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Emerrill, How are the door scuff plates? I was looking at the installation for them, and it just involves sticking them on with the double sided tape that is on the back. Easy!

emerrill Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 They are decent. Haven't really decided what I think yet, but I kick my boots on the sills, which is why I got them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest liquidleaf Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Nice to see other obsessives out there, I don't feel so bad waiting for my SE Sport pkg Hatch! Order cargo mat and maybe some nets. http://www.partscheap.com/2012-Focus-Interior-Accessories-s/470.htm has a lot. Wash/wax and stare at yellow blaze metallic paint Play with sync and pair phones to BT Drive around and have fun with sport shift - trading my standard trans '08 Subaru so I don't get 'clutch leg' on commutes anymore, but nice to have the ss option when I want to be sporty... Scotchgard Get tint Get and install bug deflector (PO'd that my Subie is so prone to hood chips, don't want that to happen to the new Focus) Edited July 25, 2011 by liquidleaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GapBoyPCS Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Simple: Getting it ready for Road Warrior duties I already have some accessories set to go (mud flaps, door sills, floor mats from Ford). My tint guy is all set to go with tints and paint protection film. Now it's a matter of just getting the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cncr721 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I plan on getting my windows tinted shortly after I get my car. I think I am going to do about 20% to the front driver and passenger side windows, but go a little bit darker in the back. Not sure how dark to go though. But otherwise, I am trying to get some things together of what I want and might do to my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
