New From Hampton Roads

[Catbone]

Hello! I'm Michael from Virginia Beach. I picked up my 2017 platinum white FiST (with black wheels) a few days ago & I couldn't be happier. I did a lot of research & lurking on forums before I made my choice. I'd like to say thank you for making my decision easier. I'm coming from an 89 325i so you could say this is quite an upgrade. I plan on making some modifications down the line but I'm gonna start with something modest like a COBB rmm & some mudflaps.

Congrats & welcome to the forum!

Welcome fellow VA FiST'er.

I have had my 2017 just shy of two weeks now and after 800 miles, I am not disappointed at all. I have installed a Damond OCC and a Garageline pedal spacer (I tried the No-Pistons spacer first but the 3/8" was not enough for me personally). Also Ford rubber mats. It goes in next week for a full clear bra including full hood, and my RA mudflaps are on the way. Soon the performance upgrades will start. Being a new owner and personalizing your car will be great fun.

Thanks a lot gentlemen.

I'm very interested to see how your car comes along! Yes owning a new car & doing my own modifications is completely new to me. I was naive back in 2014 & bought a 87 fc3s with a lot of work done to it by the owner. I drove it for a week before realizing an apex seal was broken & found out that the streetport done to it was all jacked. It's still sitting in my garage unfortunately. But its been a few days owning the FiST & I'm stoked to say the least.

Welcome fellow Hampton Roads member! I'm in Chesapeake and can lend a hand with installation of stuff if you need it.

Also, there is a facebook group for Hampton Roads Fiesta and Focus owners.
