Ive always been a fan of the Steeda / Roush / Saleen / Shelby modified Fords.
Too bad none of these will do a SHO ... sigh
But , check this out ...

Kinda Cool ! !
Steeda should never be grouped with the others--they are nothing compared to Shelby and Roush.
I wouldn't buy their crap -- rather just build my car the way I want it then pay overprice for their stuff. They got a lot of flak on Focus forum when they came out with parts for the new generation Focus (prior to ST being released).
I really dig it. I had some Steeda on my old Fusion. It would be nice if they offered some sway bars at least. I do wonder about their reference to a "cold air kit". I would bet it is more of a short ram.
Damn , geswek .... kinda ruff on em.
The point is that at least there are a few EB vehicles that the OEM modifiers are doing .
It has NEVER been about " bang for the buck " with any of these Brands.
It is about eye-candy and curb apeal.
I for one appreciate that , and that is why they SELL....
Because they stand out from the crowd.
Steeda also has a Focus ST and Fiesta in there line up.

I agree with you geswek. I get what SW says as describing the market and appreciate that each has their own tastes. I also acknowledge that some are sweet (excluding Stage I and II of Rousch). I believe the most important thing about them is showing me the potential that exists in a given ride...
For me the fun of it all is researching a mod, sourcing what you need, making the mod, and having pride in what you have accomplished personalizing your vehicle.... I personally mod purely for my enjoyment, not conspicuous consumption. Just my thoughts
Hope to see reviews of their stuff for the 13+ Fusion. Particularly in the suspension/handling department.
I like the idea. Every peformance part I had on my fusion SPORT was Steeda. I cant imagine the price upgrade from a already $35,000 car though. I know a lot of people dont like STEEDA but I never had any issues. I would like to see the price difference if you just bought the parts and did it yourself.
With the wheels and body kit, reminds me of a CLA.
The only Steeda parts I bought for my gen 1 ST were some billet interior items.
After the 3rd lighter insert they sent fell apart I was done with them.
