  • Cosmetic ideas and suggestions

    I'm just going through some of my pictures of my festiva and I was wondering, what cosmetic details and upgrades have you done to your festys. I'm looking for ideas to use on mine. Any idea is welcomed! I'll add a picture of what I've done so far. Mainly just fog lights, auxiliary driving lights, black grill, and i might plasti dip my roof since the clear coat is none exist. Feel free to tell me anything, I'm open to any ideas!

    A couple of things I did on mine were tinting the back windows and painting the door handles body color.

        Painted bumpers

        Painted my rear bumper (front bumper soon to follow). It had been a dingy dark gray color.

        I used Rustoleum epoxy primer and then Rustoleum paint. Pretty easy to do, has a nice finish too it.

          Add a dark green stripe to the bumper and side door guards.
          Shave the fuel filler door.

                Dark green? That seems like an odd color to add to the red coloring.

                    Ive always liked the way your car looks, I was thinking about the black bumpers and the s10 lip.

                        That does look pretty good, I think it would be cool with a led fog light in each hole

                          That car belongs to Parrainx, (You should give em credit Ryan ) their build thread is here: https://fordfestiva.com/forums/showt...un-daily-build

                          And thank you for the kind words. Another thing I would add to the list: Paint your wheels. Not black necessarily, but a nice silver, bronze, etc can really brighten up the steelies.

                            I think a nice white would make the wheels pop and go along with the car nicely

                              White on red looks nice for sure, I have a picture of a Festiva in red with white steelies on my PC somewhere, I will find it.
