Ford at SEMA

 By Bryan Redeker

 

            News surfaced a few weeks ago that Ford will be the featured company at this year’s SEMA show. Quickly, my thoughts would tell me that the Fiesta may be getting its aftermarket debut before it is for sale. The Focus ZX3 was at SEMA prior to its release, and the pictures coming from the show in 1999 made me order my Focus before even seeing on in person. Actually, it was the Wings West Focus ZX3 that was shown in magazines in October that lead me to order my ZX3 at the end of the month. The car later showed up at SEMA, along with many more modified hatchbacks. Could the Fiesta be there this year? If so, who is working on them? I am hoping FSWerks has one at their shop and have started making parts. I use a number of their parts on my SVT Focus, and everything they make is top notch! Having a decent number of modified Fiesta’s at SEMA would gain magazine exposure thru the winter, when the Movement has ended, but the car is not out yet. Keeping people excited about the Fiesta from December to May is going to be hard, but a number of SEMA Fiesta’s would be on the right path. The next question is, if the Fiesta is going to be at SEMA, how do I get there? Hmmm, I need to work on this.
