CJ PONY PARTS | FOCUS ST

Story and Photos By James Stanley

(COBB TUNING | HARRISBURG, PA | WWW.CJPONYCARS.COM )

It’s the orange that Ford should have used from the beginning. It’s very similar to the orange used by Bojix two years ago on their SEMA Focus ST. It’s more vibrant, it’s loud, and unashamed to be orange. With the bright lights fixed on it from the ceiling, it almost looked like it was glowing from a distance. At first look, it seems to be just another, tint/wheels/drop build, but when you actually get to know the car, you realize that this car is show and go. It plays well into my philosophy of design where those from outside the circle have to ask what came stock, and what didn’t. This car has that kind of quality in its modifications. I’m most excited to see that they let the car’s lines speak for itself without stripes, without two tone anything, and no graphics to be seen anywhere on the hot orange.

It’s like the hot chick that is confident she looks good and doesn’t have a massive gallery of duckface selfies in a dirty bathroom, and at the same time, can run circles around you at gym.

Full disclosure, some of the most visual parts are the same brands I chose for my own personal car, like the fifteen52 wheels, and the wilwood brakes. Heck, the brakes on the car were design off of the P5ST! (Your Welcome CJPONYPARTS). With that out of the way, the car has been upgraded throughout. It’s show and go, it looks good and can hold its own without losing its streetability. A first of hopefully many quality Focus builds done quite well by CJPONYPARTS.
