We have been working with Vivid Racing on their Ford Focus ST project car since the beginning of this year. The upgrades we’ve designed for the ST have all come from the idea that we want this car to look fierce and give it a major power and style upgrade. After blowing off all the dust from her long stint as a R&D mule, we shined her up to take some initial photos. A lot of people on our social media networks wonder why we’ve done the carbon upgrades the way we have. We kept the carbon parts raw, so people can see that they are “made from carbon”. The add on fender flares are something we’ve gotten a lot of comments about, we built to accommodate the 19×10 +15mm Niche wheels with 265/35/19 Falken tires Vivid was preparing to put on her. Vivid wanted to show some wheel options so  we will shoot pictures of the Focus with Work Wheels Meister 18×10 +15mm wheels with Toyo 265/35/18 tires soon. Stay tuned for those!

The rear features are carbon fiber strake diffuser and undertray. 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. Because of how this product is made, and not integrated into the lip, we would consider this a race part. 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. The factory honeycomb style front grill is actually non-porous, blocking much needed airflow to the cars radiator and intercooler. The factory grill pops out from the back of the bumper when removed. When we popped that thing off it revealed an entire blank canvas. Instead of a steel mesh type insert like Grillcraft, or other grill companies. We chose to make a front fit grill that gives the Focus ST a Steven Tyler mouth! The full carbon fiber grill features an outside beveled edge that can be siliconed or 3m taped in place using its molded edges. The grill is divided into two sections to still keep the front bumper beam hidden. The top features, three rows of quarter size holes with a black mesh backing. Where the bottom, has four rectangle openings to give more airflow to the Focus power plant. In addition to the grill, we have created a small add-on center lip to keep the front more rounded. 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 compliment the rest of the aero accessories. When Vivid chose the teal wheels, they wanted the shock effect. Their photographer then photoshopped them black and sent them to Vivid. Vivid posted the question TEAL or BLACK Niche wheels?
