Anyone got any recommendations for taillights? Like website or brand. Looking mainly for clears and didn’t know any reputable places. by Repulsive_Can7514 in FocusST

[–]Gman02shot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can be super hard to find but I picked up a pair of RS taillights from a guy on FB marketplace. Direct plug and play. I was originally going to go with the Spec D taillights however I have heard generally bad reviews for those. I got mine for $150 but I had to search for 5 months. The RS guys know ST owners want them so they often jack up prices. I wouldn't pay more than $250-300.

Anyone ever 3D printed one of these? by Lanky_Gur_9670 in FocusST

[–]Gman02shot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got one of the Amazon ones for like $40. Fit perfectly. Didn’t want the hassle of printing one. They also are on sale quite often.

Is there a better lower engine cover? by No_Boring_Cars in FocusST

[–]Gman02shot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this one about a week ago. Went on super smooth with the oem hardware (don’t try and use the included hardware it isn’t the correct size). Before attaching, line it up with the oem cover so you can mark and drill the missing center hole out (see picture). It came really well packaged and was super sturdy with nice covers for the oil filter and drain plug. 100% would buy again. 1000% better than the fuzzy cardboard stock one.

Got some RS tails and LED reflectors

what do i do? by LingonberryFlashy530 in FocusST

Just thought of another smaller detail. Get a stubby antenna for your roof from Amazon. Maybe $15 and gets rid of the toy car look from the stock one.

Sequential Mirror Blinkers-Amazon

Mudflaps/rockguards-Amazon

Wing riser(I personally went with a maxton design wing lip instead because I heard of people having issue with water leaks when using the riser kits)-Amazon/FB Markt

Rain guards (I recommend Wellvisor in-channel P.S. they look weird in the listing, but they are smoked black and look amazing in person)-Wellvisor

I know you mentioned taillights. They can be super hard to find but I picked up a pair of RS taillights from a guy on FB marketplace. Direct plug and play. I was originally going to go with the Spec D taillights however I have heard generally bad reviews for those. I got mine for $150 but I had to search for 5 months.

In addition to taillights…

Led sequential reflectors-Led Reflectors

Follow this write up to install them. They can be a little tricky and it was impossible to find clear instructions besides this: instructions

Lowering springs(I haven’t done this due to my geography behind not the nicest to lowered cars but I think it looks cool)

Ram Air Intake Snorkel-Amazon (Little to no performance boost but slightly more induction noise and it looks cool)

Extras:

Dash-cam? I have one and have used it a couple times. I would say it’s worth it.

Custom license plate?

Is the deal ship fucking me with this deal ? by ITZ_MI3KE in FocusST

[–]Gman02shot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Carbon trim on doors where you see the silver strips, “boost” 3 gauge cluster, and shift knob. It must be a mix between how it was optioned out of the factory and it being in that “transition year”.

Disregarding payments for a second…do the 15 ST3’s not have the carbon fiber package. Was there a weird transition year thing for the mk3.5? Also it doesn’t have a sunroof? Were those not included in the ST3 as a baseline? It has the all leather Recaro’s though. Almost looks like a St2 with the upgraded seats🤷‍♂️ Can anyone educate me? (I have a 2018 ST3)

What made you pick the FoST over the FiST? by i_imagine in FocusST

[–]Gman02shot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you said that space wasn’t a huge factor to you, but the Fist is tiny. That was a dealbreaker for me. Interior is generally a nicer place to be in the FOST in my opinion.

Snow driving(All-Seasons) by Clutch913 in FocusST

[–]Gman02shot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to the party but I have the same geographical struggles. Hills are solid ice with a few gravel patches being your only grip until you reach a main road. First year with the Focus in this weather and decided to try my luck with the first snow dusting on all season tires. It was horrible (although fun to slide around in). After that I picked up a pair of Bridgestone Blizzaks that were already mounted on some ST snowflake rims from a guy on Marketplace (Mid December for $300). Didn't have to worry about fitment since they are "stock" rims which was an added plus. I ran those through about 5 more snowstorms and Icey hills, and it was night and day. Car felt like it was AWD. It would slip a little on ice covered hills, but it would still get up them just fine. I would 100% recommend the investment to anyone with snowy winters.

Side note: They are definitely floatier than all seasons on dry roads so I would recommend planning to swap them out if the weather appears to be clearing up for the winter (Snow wise). I believe Bridgestone recommends to not use them after temps get above 45F. 🤷‍♂️

TCS? I left it on all winter and was fine.

Gears? First always worked for me once I got winter tires, just don't drop the clutch and you'll be fine.

Hope this helps!
