Talking Who turned out the lights?

Ok, so it might not be the first thing you think when you hop into my car, but it's darker than it used to be...



Needless to say that sticker will be removed when I get home....



Unusual shot - but considering how bright the day is, it's dark!



You can tell by how light the paint is that it is a very hot and bright day (yes the colour changes with heat), and look how dark the tint still is! Crikey batman!



Now it's time to finish what I have started - re-lowered, 2L air deflector (yes, I am yet to do this 20 dollar mod), new tires (and rims?? watch this space), and a handful of other mods I won't mention yet....

Timmeh!

nice work Tim, must take some exceptional skills to complete Mods on your Foci while you are in Darwin and your Foci is in Newy. No wonder you are the MODKING....

Very nice touch added Tim. Fifteen percent isn't it? Suits the car very well.

Very nice Timmeh. Really sets off the looks of the car, not to mention the summer funcationality factor.

Small bit of advice, dont help a mate move and have your newly tinted windows scraped! Dammit!

Thanks for the comments, although I still don't think the car looks like it should, but soon it will. It needs to step out of the mild Focus look and into the next level. All in good time!

I'd even settle for just driving it - 4 weeks to go!

Default can't spell

Daaaaaaaaaaaamn that's hot. I'd better hurry up like Russ to keep up!!!!! I have somewhat of a surprisingly large planned cache of mods if some cards fall the right way for me involving some major changes to the Zetec. Will post more as it happens... but that is by far the number 1 CL in Australia.

LOL @ Russ...go for it mate,

You know what mod you need Tim, one of those RS Kits from the US/Europe or even a proper Focus Bodykit from a Euro shop. then it will be truly individual here in Oz.

Now that I have actually noticed this thread, i thought i might post a pic of my car with its tint and see what it looks like compared to Tims.

Tint looks great Tim I definately think you win the Tint stakes here ! :king:

Far out, your tint is still so dark... I'd like to see some more photos of my car to get a better impression of exactly how dark it is, I am worried now haha! Du'oh!

Thats my concern - I hope they are not too dark, looking at how dark your 20% is.

Ah well, I'll find out all in good time!

Cheers.. Tim
