We have been working on this Ford Focus ST project car since January. Â From day 1, we wanted to create something with an aggressive stance, improved styling, and some giddy-up power. Â After blowing off all the dust from its long stint as a R&D mule in the shop, we gave her a bath and shine to take some initial photos of the Ford Focus ST. Â Now first we have to say that we have kept the carbon parts raw so people can see that they are “made from carbon”. Â The add on fender flares we built to accomondate our 19×10 +15mm Niche wheels with 265/35/19 Falken tires and our soon to be shot, Work Wheels Meister 18×10 +15mm wheels with Toyo 265/35/18 tires. Â Even with the KW coilover suspension, the Focus ST needed “more low” to get that tucked look. Â So we modified the rear springs and to avoid any rubbing (which there would have been), we trimmed the rear fender arches. Â The front was able to be lowered with no issues and we did not need to trim the wheel wells.

The rear features are carbon fiber strake diffuser and undertray. Â This rear component starts from the rear suspension arms and covers the entire bottom to where the fins fit on the back of the bumper lip. Â Because of how this product is made and not integrated into the lip, we would consider this a race part. Â The undertray with bracket supports fit nicely on the bottom of the car keeping airflow laminar and protecting that new exhaust system.

Up front we have a complete replacement front grill. Â The factory honeycomb style front grill is actually non pourus in several spots blocking much needed airflow to the cars radiator and intercooler. Â The factory grill pops out from the back of the bumper when removed revealing an entire opening as a canvas. Â Instead of a steel mesh type insert like Grill Craft or other grill companies, we chose to make a front fit grill that gives the Focus ST a Steven Tyler mouth! Â The full carbon fiber grill features an outside beveled edge that can be siliconed or 3m taped in place using its molded edges. Â The grill is divided into 2 sections to still keep the front bumper beam hidden. Â The top features 3 rows of quarter size holes with a black mesh backing where the bottom has 4 rectangle openings to give more airflow to the Focus powerplant. Â In addition to the grill, we have created a small addon center lip to keep the front more rounded. Â This piece slides into place and uses the factory push clips to secure it on.

Currently we are working on a rear waist spoiler and front bumper side splitters to complement the rest of the aero accessories. Â We do have a couple other of these first article items available for cars to spread the love. Â If interested, contact dan at vividracing.com and send a photo of your Focus ST in. Â So right now the big question is, the wheels…
