Love the mods Ben I'm right up with u on changing the look who wants a car that just looks like every other car

Saving up for an ST and your videos keep me motivated. You have the nicest setup the whole car is so clean

Just ordered the first mod to my 2018 ST2 after 4.5 months/8,000 miles of pure fun driving, love your content and looking forward to more!

I've got a silver Focus ST myself. Compared to stock the look of my car has changed completely. I now have Sparco Assetto Garas in a gunmetal color along with 20% tint, a turbosmart BOV (which was my first mod) and an AWE Track exhaust. It'll be 3 years in July since I got it.

Another great video! Keep up the great work!

Congratulations man on gaining these subs!! Keep it up, awesome content!

Yo ben love the content you make! You guys kill it over at sxth. Keep cranking out the vids and i'll keep watching as an N owner, digging the vids where you have had nathan as well!

I love my tomei catback with CNT catless downpipe, the tone is amazing, and the whole system weighs probably 10-15 lbs if that.

You should look into doing a shaved grill. It’s free other than the time it takes, and makes the front look so much better.

I believe an exhaust with downpipe, blow off valve, high flow intake filter, larger intercooler and a tune are the best modifications.

That being said I really wish id bought a ST1 and used the extra cash to mod it the way I want. Sync 3, the headlights that move with your car as you turn, the full leather Recaros, all cool but there are better aftermarket alternatives out there that can be had for more or less the premium I paid for the ST3.

I'm always plugged into Android Auto. I'm not sure about pricing but for far less and 1k you can get a android auto compatible touch screen head unit that far surpasses what I have in terms of functionality and performance. The ST3 Recaros are petty awesome and I love them but there's some great aftermarket seats too. If you really want the ST3 Recaros I've seen them go for 600$ for the front and rears.

20% tint with 5% brow wuld be mintish

Exhaust: check, Scorpion 3" catback installed. Stock catback isn't that restrictive when you look at the flow, but the sounds is another story. Downpipe: check, Scorpion downpipe with sport cat installed. Local laws in the Netherlands make running Decat a big penalty risk. Intake: check, full revo intake installed. Did this as a first, I love the intake sounds more then a kid likes sugar. Suspension: non-check. I am kind of on the fence about this one. I am going to run splitters and skirts all around, first check how they hold up versus all the speedbumps we have in the Netherlands. Wheels: almost check. Am busy restoring a set of 19" Fifteen52 tarmac that have some curb rash. Window tint: obviously. Wondering why intercooler wasn't mentioned. Stock one is terrible, suffers from massive heat soak. It is actually the same that was used in the mk2, and in that car it was already hardly up to its task. Nice video as always, will definitely help people out. See you in the next video. #TrueOG

Fitment industries has your back for wheel and tire packages. Probably the best in the buisness. Here's a chart showing you different wheel sizes and offsets, and then showing you the fitment you can expect with then. 18x8.5 +40 is the most "ideal" as far as fitment goes. A little poke looks damn good too though.. Up to you. Comment back if you got any more questions bro
