Preloader Gets a Makeover

[Preloader]

I picked up this GM style ground effects kit on eBay for super cheap. I did a dry fit up and it actually fits very nicely. It's going out for paint tomorrow.

How does it mount? Stick tape?

A sub panel screws into the underside and the body lip clips into that.

Ha. I wouldn't be caught dead with Focus wheels.
They're Vauxhall Astra replicas.

How much did those set you back?

First I want to rephrase my last response, because it comes off as pretentious.

What I meant was that the Focus is as close as it gets for a domestic rival to the Sonic. (Dodge Dart? Don't make me laugh)
So my dislike for the Focus is threefold. I'm a Chevy guy and predispositioned to hate Ford. The Focus ST is hella fast stock and I'm madd. And I know the focus wheels you are talking about and I think they are ugly.

I got the wheels from Europe and they were about $900 shipped. They have quite a few desirable styles over there that come in out 5x105 lug pattern.

Just go to ebay.uk and search 5 x 105 wheels, you'll see the selection.

Looks like I'm gonna be super broke in the near future... >_< lol

Ebay Germany has some good wheels too.

Those are nice, 900 euro is a lot for just wheels on an econo box without shipping. But, my German is a little rusty as well.

1100 on rims is a bit much for me

he got the whole wheel!

 

[rdss]

All four wheels at that!! Much better deal than just the rims for $1,100.

 

[$ub$onic]

That's not bad. I thought it was just for the rims
