Is the ZTS combo dome lamp/map light the same size as the regular dome light we have in our zx3? Or would you have to cut a bigger hole? If it's the same size, all you gotta do is plug in the wires and pop it in. easy. I just like the color blue and it's dimmer. I hate when i first close the door and the light stays lit for a while and it lights up everything. |

I actually like the idea that the light stays lit for a few seconds. I usually fumble with my keys and unlocking the steering wheel lock. Ditto for when I get ready to leave for the night, relocking the wheel lock and taking the radio push button stick. It would be nice if you could program how long it takes to dim for different tastes. |

Blue dome lights? Programable dome lights? Boy, you folks are spoiled  If you don't like it shining after the door is shut, just reach up and switch it off. I think it's nice to be able to have those 20 seconds of light to insert the key, install the radio button panel, and select a CD - it's just enough time to get this stuff done.

| There really are folks who take that radio panel off? I just figured that was one of the gimmicks nobody used. Personally I wouldn't know what to do with the panel after removing it. | |

Yes, believe it or not, junkies will still try to steal your radio these days. I know they can't steal the car but I still put the Club on to visually convince them it's not worth the trouble. The more flashing red lights the better. I also leave the glove box door open and empty. I don't want to give them any excuse. I had three windows broken on my old 232 and hopefully learned a lesson. Sads but true. |

Drebe 73 and Alf3, Do you think we should tell the Canadian Journalists, or should we just be graceful and not say anything about being put in the Sports Car Coupe Class. Seems the Focus can be anything one wants it to be. Alf3, keep us posted on the dome light. Pat PS: Carlady, I'm still using the spellcheck, but it doesn't correct my mistakes; got to look them up, and I'm a lousy speller in the first place. |

I'm just saying for me...when i'm walking away from my car, i don't like the dome light keeping the inside of my car lit up. That's not being spoiled, it's just my preference. Can't a guy ask a simple question without negative comments? P.S. I can't reach up and switch off the light after I have left the car. |

Hey man, relax  I think you should have any kind of dome light you want -- blue, purple, remote control, you name it. Having owned more than my share of cars that didn't have ANY kind of interior light (and sometimes, not even working exterior lights!), I think the dome light thread is kind of silly -- silly, but fun. Make your car what you want it to be.

Somebody on www.fastfoci.com claims to have had leather seats factory installed in their recently acquired ZX3.. Anybody know anything about this? (My ZX3 is scheduled for delivery in 2 wks., and now maybe I can get leather?!?) Aargh! Gabe |

| Well i got ours today. Mostly blue with black accent. It's a pretty cool looking watch! I really didn't expect it at all. Was never mentioned to me by any sales people etc. Not a baby watch ... really pretty neat looking...pleasantly SHOCKED! Razzi kit scheduled for Monday or Tuesday of next week. Will try like hell to get photos of each step but right now my work schedule gives me enough time to eat and sleep and ...yes...work. | |
