I've owned a 2007 SE, 2014 SE and this time around I decided to get an ST after getting in an accident with my 14. Man am I happy with it! I didn't realize how much power the SE was lacking without a turbo! Picked this 2018 ST1 up this summer with 85,000 miles. And surprisingly my state let me do a custom plate that reads "STFucus"

I just finished up this full-mesh conversion for the 2013–14 Ford Focus ST.

The factory grille gets completely opened up, then the remaining frame is repaired, refinished, and fitted with a mesh insert. It’s definitely not a quick project, but I really like how much cleaner the front end looks when it’s finished.

Part of the reason I wanted to put this together was for Focus ST owners who liked the old Beeks grille but never got a chance to pick one up. This isn’t as deep as the Beeks grille, but it’s a pathway to get a similar look.

If anyone wants to see the complete process before doing it themselves, I also made a more in-depth step-by-step YouTube video:

Happy to answer any questions about the build or the process.

Installed the new fog housings, LasFit switchback bulbs and tint Lamin-X film this afternoon, everything looks so amazing..I think I fell in love with this thing all over again..ps..was fun messing with people switching my fog light colors at various points on my commute home lol..Hopefully enough before and after pics..sorry about not having halogen before pics..forgot the main connector wasnt connected for fogs..plus one of the housings was smashed anyways..also dirty hands and a rainy commute don't help for cleanliness sorry my bad lol

Hi there ST owners I am excited to say I’m going to be getting into a 2014 performance blue in a few weeks and was wondering what general ST tips you guys have for a new owner (I have done a lot of research). Just any tips regarding maintenance, driving, modification etc.

Cheers

Also today I learned how much of the foglight is covered by the trim 🤣 was going to install Lamin-x on the fog before installing..yea not gonna happen 😅 ..Last pic

Hey guys and gals. Just a quick one

My turbo sounds like its fluttering while its spooling up. Is there anything that could cause this or is my turbo just cooked?

I haven't noticed much of a power loss and there aren't any fault codes.

With the rear could I use any rear caliper carrier or does it have to be specific to that side as they look identical just flipped around
