I'm going to the dealer Friday, I've Decided that I want a Focus ST in either Performance Blue or Oxford White, I've already started planning detailing ideas. The theme is '911 tribute' to make the car something it logically isn't! Here's where you guys come in!

Which do you guys like and why? Here are my two ideas:

EDIT: Second plan, what if I just paint the spoiler Black?

For the white, I'll want the spoiler, front door handles and side skirts painted black:

For the blue, again, I'll have the front door handles and spoiler painted black, but the middle pillars will be painted silver, somewhat in essence similar to the new 991 Targa.

Edit 2: This is the idea for the blue with a crude concept.

Could anyone maybe photoshop or edit the ST pics to look like what I'm taking about? What do you guys think or like the most?

DON'T DO IT!!! At least I wouldn't do it. I would get a nice set of wheels, or an exhaust system!

What about just the front pillars? What if I just painted the front door handles and spoiler black? Which do you think would look best?

Curious as to why you want to paint the handles black? IMO it will look like a base model then.

I just don't like everything being the same color. I want the car to stand out. I wasn't planning on a matte black, more of a gloss or clear black.

It seems people hate your idea for some reason, I don't know, I love it.

I don't know... Maybe it seems too Ricer? I don't want to be a Ricer, just to change it up a bit.

I think the blue idea would look a little cleaner if done correctly. Actually I think both would look clean if done correctly. You need someone to photoshop it to be sure.

I think you should consider elements from Porsche past that might look just as good on your car. I vote (if you go with oxford) to do an RS style stripe. I don't know about going with color matched wheels though. But I say something along those lines. You could fuse the 997 GT3 RS as well, and do a color matched spoiler (black stripe + black wing). I say this because I see it being more tasteful, but also because the theme is a bit of a stretch since the Focus isn't VAG. But I'm someone who likes to see how someone's vision goes...

Do a driver's stripe

Hadn't considered that! Good Idea! I should have been more specific. I want to take the black spoiler and door handles from the classic 911s and 930 and the silver/chrome T-top from the classic and new Targa, but that's only for the Blue ST.

idk, making a tribute to another manufacture with a totally different car is weird. Just get performance blue. Then we can match.

Two guys that like Porsche, with a Focus ST of the same color? Perhaps Porsche fans have similar taste?

What If I just paint the car as is, but not call it a '911 tribute'?

I have a FiST, so I guess you could say I'm more 914 than 911. (not really)

why just the front handles? GO for the black spoiler, my gti has it and it looks great. The stripe is a good idea too!

The way I see it:

The FoST is to the 944 as the FiST is to the 924 :)

Any friendship or bond we were about to create was destroyed. Goodbye.

Wait what? What'd I do this time??

it's because of the 924/944 reference I made isn't it. When I say that I mean in terms of size. The 924 is in a way a subcompact like the fiesta is. The 944, being a compact, is similar to the 944. that was an extreme comparison but in terms of size class, not that far off.

would it be better if I said it like this?

944/924

FoST/FiST

In NO WAY are they similar in any aspects towards performance or looks.

944 is the 924 with a new engine and some updated body panels. 928 is FoST, 944 Fist. 928 is faster, larger engine, and better for everyday use, but 944 is regarded as the better driving car of the 2.

Actually, that makes more sense than my analogy. And I agree with exactly what your saying...

See, we're not so different after all :p
