It's the hottest and best looking car going today. I get stopped by people with HIGH end imports to low Ford Focus and they all love it.

Thanks everyone for the input. I have been waiting so long and hopes were hi. I will let it grow and see what my White one is going to look like when it comes in.

The front is very flimsy, at least the bumper anyway, i was pushing on one last night, beautiful car love all of it including the front end but that front bumber is very soft and moves alot when touched. Kinda surprised it can handel 100mph.

I was dissapointed with the black plastic over the lights too. On the concept it was carbon fiber. I tried to make a post a couple weeks ago asking for a carbon fiber decal that would fit over it but I couldn't post it.

Silly me, I thought the front clip was SUPPOSED to flex when you put any pressure on it - it is made out of URETHANE, isn't it? Isn't that what it's DESIGNED to do? Isn't that what urethane does? [sm=bangbang.gif]

Ok for starters dont start out a sentence with Silly me! It doesnt leave any room for discussion on that point! lol!! Your right, the front end is designed to flex with pressures. This helps the car aerodynamically at higher speed. With no flex built in you get more of the force of the air pressure against the body and therefore adding resistence. When the body flexes it conforms to the pressure wave and reduces friction against the skin.
