I’m a Ford-Lincoln tech with 10 years of experience and been working on cars since I was 14. I don’t have a Focus myself but I take care of my parents’ 2009 Focus. It’s a trim swapped SE cloned to an SES. It also has an interior color change.
I’ve always admired how versatile the Focus is for mods and upgrades. Funny enough, when I was saving up for a few upgrades on my own car, my flare account came in handy for budgeting and keeping everything on track. It’s great to see experienced techs like you sharing their expertise.
