Default How the Focus should have been designed.

Height of overall car should have been decreased.
Notice distance from foggies to headlights (wheel archout is cut into) and from side windows to side skirt.

Side skirts and front bumper/lip made bigger.

Car suspension lowered. As it stands stock it looks more suited for a jeep.

From this to this:

Yeh.. i was bored.. :P

ride height should be lowered. but that's about it.
once you start lowering overall height you stop people over 6' being able to drive them.
