That looks great, Og! How a Focus should really look, IMO.

But why such a small sidewalk on the tires? I think a size or maybe two increase would still look good and fill the wheel wells. :o

I agree, but Tire Rack recommended the size to stay in OEM spec. I probably will increase slightly, but on down the road. The BFG's ride surprisingly well for a 35 series tire. - Og

That looks very nice now man, I'm having the itch to get one of those for the mpg. Thinking closer to 40 is pretty good for me, better than 12 in the truck, and 25 in my milan.

That's understandable.

I've heard a lot of good reviews and hype on the BFG G-force tires. they look sweet to me.

Makes me miss my zx2. Had no appearance mods. Full bolt on Long tube header, 2.5" magnaflow catback, intake, UDP, and SCT tuning. made 141whp. (107whp stock, supposedly can run 15.7 stock) 21mm rear sway bar, S/R shocks and struts (eibach springs and tokico struts), B&M short shifter, spec clutch. It was by far the funnest car to drive I've ever been in. Had even power to pull its own weight and had amazing handling.

Zetec's are awesome engines. I wouldn't even think twice about throwing boost at it. Get svt internals (forged) should net you about 9:1 compression, get the svt head gasket gets you 8.9:1 compression. Good to over 400whp. You can get 240-250 whp out of them safely.
