Happy you know what!.....

Spotted in the lot of a local discount store. The Sparco terror wheels really work well with the grille fangs.
Looks like he has the led mirror signal strobes as well! This is maybe the third orange spice FiST i have ever seen in the wild. It must be the rarest of all colors sold in North America.

Looks like he's got the Euro-spec headlights, too, and different fogs. Clean.

Reminds me to get some Pumpkin Spice Creamer for this holiday!

It actually looks better off the lot when it's not mixed in with all those other bright colors of the other models...

It's a rare color, but the rarer colors for the ST are Kona blue, which was only offered in '16, and green, which was only available in '14, I believe. Maybe '15.

I also thought that Kona blue was rare. Then I spotted another one in the lot of the business incubator i frequently visit. Then i saw a titanium hatchback in KB in the next office cul-de-sac. And i know of two other unique KB ST Fiesta in the Ann Arbor area. I know that they are distinct from each other by the roof bars on one and the RPF-1 wheels on the other one.
I hope to touch base with as many of them as i can soon. If only to see if they have the same issues that I do. If they aren't aware of it, im probably not going to be thought well of.

The paint on mine has held up pretty well. It's not flaking off like some people have experienced.

It seems to start with base coat flaking off in the hatch lid hinge area. That was well before I noticed that the paint was bubbling out of the seams.

QC out of Mexico can be hit and miss. Guess I just got lucky. On the ST forum, it seems pretty common mostly on the '16s. I'm getting some bubbles around the antenna, though. That will have to be addressed eventually.
Cheap car = cheap paint.

Mine is flaky around the antenna.

I'd like to know the Part number or where to get a ground effect kit like this?

The quality of the 3D Carbon kits is stellar. They do require some fitting and then paint to match. I am not sure if we can get just a rocker sill kit and a front chin spoiler as separate kits or if its all or nothing.
They also offered a rear spoiler and a rear diffuser. Those pieces didn't look like they would enhance my lifestyle enough to make them worth the expense. But, they were separate items from the sills.

What I was curious about is to add on a trim like this Rocker panel

​

From what I understand this trim piece fits both ST / SE - pretty much any Fiesta from 2012/2013 on up - both sides and their respective hardware support brackets and such are going to run about $700 + per side from the OEM you can order one side or you can get you get both sides together runs about $1,400 USD.

I just need to know if this is the correct part...

 

[scotman]

A complete 3D carbon kit would be well under that cost! Then just add on color matching.
The cost of O. E. Trim parts is simply insane. I can buy a whole wrecked fiesta with the needed parts for half what i would have to shell out to purchase a rear bumper cover, crash beam, two tail lights and a hatch lid. Ford has jacked up the prices of almost every crash part of the Fiesta to the point of making them too expensive to repair
