    Nice car Boy Racer. I had a Focus hatchback on 18s for a year. My advice is to get some bigger tires. Our roads hate low profile rubber.

    No he needs a 30 series tire stretched to where the sidewalk is at a 45* angle. It's the only way. Stance

    Congrats, they're cool cars. Now swap those springs out, toss in some strut ties and get that thing glued to the earth.

    And when you said you'd bought a Thing, I thought you'd bought a VW Thing, not a GTI :jester:

    I probably would...if I lived in the lower 48. I think you underestimate the crappyness of our roads. :jester: That would look good though.

    This car will likely stay mostly stock.

    I have LED backup lights and turn signals ordered, as well as some Phillips Extreme D1S HIDs to replace the tired OEM bulbs. Will get LED fogs and all LED interior lights ordered this week as well. Then smoke the taillights and reflectors when I get home. After that I'll save up for some audio improvements and then likely leave the car alone for a while.
