"it's a great nob, its the fifth one I've tried and it's my favorite by far"
Jamie Knight he is the first 4 😂
Only 5.. he must have had a slow week!
Am I the only one impressed for the guy remembering all the exact prices for everything?
You can see the list in the reflections bud
I have good memory like that as well, so. List or not, I’d only be a little bit impressed. Car guys usually know a lot about their cars.
Owning a car and buying the bits and pieces that you want for it is great. Getting pleasure and enjoyment out of your vehicle it is what its all about. Ignore the haters, just jealous kids.
Well said sir.
Too much going on for my personal taste, but if you’re a FiST owner, you know like 5 of his 30 cosmetic mods actually made sense and appealed to you. This is just like a list of every possible cosmetic mod someone could conceivably put into the same car lol. I have the mudflaps and all-weather mats.
That dead-pedal, shift knob, and padded arm rest would all add great comfort and function to the interior.
Those are my 5. The rest is fluff to me, but at least the video gave me a few things to look into next.
Yeah much of this is foo foo. Some of this stuff is really useful though like you mentioned - the dead pedal you notice every day. The padded armrest is one of the favorite mods I've done to this car period, makes such a difference on every drive. There are statistics on the 3rd brake flashers keeping accidents from happening, and people stay way off my bumper since I installed. The LEDs make a huge difference at night. And on and on. Some of it really makes a difference despite all the haters.
gray25xt yeah I don’t agree with all the negativity. But Car ppl are just like everyone else - they love being negative and trash talking others rather than focusing on the positive (which is what car culture is supposed to be about).
Well said well said.
Sounds like you are a FiST owner....I'd encourage you that actually 12 not 5 of these are useful...
FLASHER - I already talked about this...
LEDs - the brightness at night is so much more, for $7 it's a no brainer...
HOMELINK - is quite convenient, again, for $6 it's a very useful inexpensive mod...
HOOD STRUTS - for someone like me who's under the hood all the time, it's nice to work without the prop rod in the way...
BOOMBA PLATE - reduces shift throw, you feel it every time you shift, quite nice...
REAR MOTOR MOUNT - again, felt on every shift...imagine running with loose shoelaces versus tightening them up and then running...that's the best way I can describe the difference this mod makes...
TINT - my black partial leather interior is way cooler in the 105 degree summers where I live because of my window tint...
Yes the other 18 were just fun, pennies, experiments, personalization, art. There are much worse ways a person could spend their money.
Thanks for chiming in Ross!
Do I own a Fiesta ST? No
Will I Ever own a Fiesta ST? No
Did I enjoy every second of this video? Yes
Thanks man you're a kind soul I appreciate the good word there.
Bro this car is so fun
It's not too expensive you can get a good used one for around 10 - 15k and they are quick. 2016 is a good model.
i used to own a ford focus mk1 but these new ford fiesta ST and such look so good, its like they ripe like wine and only come out nicer each year.
Im driving a fiesta. I dont know whys the hate comments. You did a fine job on your car. It looks really neat.
Thanks Max!!!
Who cares what people think? It may not be to my taste, but that's the point of customization isn't it? You make it YOURS.
On a side note, X47 badges imply you're hybrid turbo, but running stock hotside pipe?
@@cmazari x47 is a stockframe turbo so you can run a stock hotside.
@@01010001000a Oh I'm aware, simply curious since the stock pipe is so restrictive...why spend so much money on a turbo and neuter it with a 80$ pipe
it looks like the god of cheap ebay parts, jizzed on your car !!!
Yeah I might have gone a bit overboard....I've considered removing some of the blingy stuff and making it a bit more subdued, maybe the interior trim and a badge or two, I dunno....cheap fun mods, there are far worse ways to spend one's money!
Cheap eBay mods and doing it yourself is better than spending 10x more and getting someone else to do it for you. #BuiltNotBought
Right on Jay! I installed everything (all this easy stuff and the turbo FMIC etc.) in my garage or in my buddy's garage, 100% home grown modding here. Lots of satisfaction doing it yourself and also I am sure it's done RIGHT because I did it. Built not bought, right on.
Wtf is your problem Josh? Looks awesome imo
Thanks man! Yeah lots of mean comments here. I think folks don't even know what a Fiesta ST is, and the hate starts there. Many have questioned why I'd "rice up" such a crappy car. They don't realize that the Fiesta ST is one of the most highly-regarded cars of the last 5 years. Beside that, some don't like my taste and/or just to go youtube to criticize, the comments tend to thrive on that.
Anyhow I appreciate the kind word Canonical!!!
I got a 2016 I’m leasing and decided to purchase,...I’ve been watching a lot of video on RUclips on how to modify your fiesta st, and I’m pretty much parallel with your philosophy on said modifications,....like you I wanna keep the fuel economy but have the performance in handling, speed/torque and comfort as to how cool it looks,...enjoy you channel,...keep up the good work.
All the ST badges yet you don’t have one at the back
And your point is..... lol
How much horsepower do the Wal-Mart cutting board diffusers add?
Feels like about 22, but if I did before and after on the dyno I'm betting it would be more like 98.
HAAHhahaha haahahah ah legit has me laughing so hard
It adds an airflow effect it's to scientific to explain
Thanks for the ideas. More than i will do personally, but i am goin to grab a couple ideas. Cars are about having fun, especially Fiestas, as the name suggests.
Just ordered the dark ice designs hood struts! Thanks for the video!
Looks great! Subtle and not over the top but definitely good talking points about the car you mostly created and installed all yourself. Nice work.
Thanks Kevin, what a kind word! Merry Christmas!!! Check out my newer videos, the car has changed a good bit since this one.
Thanks for the links to all the parts much appreciated. Great video.
Yes sir! Glad to help! Curious which ones you might add to your ride???
just bought a fiesta - great video :) thank you!
Best part of this video is at 4:05 where he comments about the brake light I feel you. Great video
Thanks!
Such a cool mods n beautiful car my guy👌🏾
All of these modifications are actually tasteful. Your FiST is eye candy 😍
Just bought a 2016 in Gray! Looking forward to seeing what mods are there and making a plan.
I watched this four years ago when I picked up a 2012 se. I stumbled across it again today when I'm planning to go pick up a 2019 st.
Many comment complaining about "too much" of everything. Well, i agree for a certain level, but this is actually look nice. I mean, nothing is over do and out of place. No raibow color there. Black and red, with some grey.
My thoughts as well, it may be a bit too much but it's certainly not extreme imho.
Thanks rullyanto!
No it all makes sense and is clean IMO the car has its own unique look. Nothing wrong with adding them here and there one at a time. It’s a work in progress. But definitely I sense some OCD here (just like me!) lol
Hey thanks Jeremy! Yeah I'm OCD it's all true.
In the last few weeks I've done a bunch of new mods - a new intake, some motor mount inserts, solid tranny mount bushings, a 6-point brace, a few other things. In conjunction with that I removed my hood racing stripes and a few other blingy things, made it a bit more low key.
Great ideas dude, thanks!
You sound like the official Ford sales voice over 😂 Great job by the way, and great work. Thanks for taking the time to show everyone.
Thanks!
I thought the rule of modding was if you’ve got the high end model then de-badge it and if you’ve got the base model cover it in badges, Halfords would love you in the uk
Adam Guest lol I stuck ST badges on my 13 sedan just for shits and giggles
Ford performance sun strip, 5% limo rear windows and boot tint, black pained alloys with red painted breaks, green side lights (can change to any colour), de-badged and footwell lighting (can change colour too) ....all on a mk6 fiesta style 😂😂😂😂 looks like it would go 200mph....can barely touch 100 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Max power generation?
Love it thanks for some cool ideas
You are very welcome.
Looking good. I'm not a fan of putting many things on my car that don't really do much, but that's all down to personal preference I suppose. One thing I will be getting for my FiST will be the Cobb RMM as I plan on eventually doing all the Cobb Stage packages. (only had my car a couple of months). I just recently bought new steel rims and winter tires as I live in BC. Canada... so it's kinda needed, but that ate in to my "fun parts" fund. RMM and Rally Armor mud flaps are a must I think :P After driving a few days in the snow here over the last week I've decided the mud flaps need to be bought sooner than later.
Thanks for the comment...yeah, to each his own. I'd recommend doing some research before spending all the money on the Cobb, or watch my power mods video...unless you swap the turbo for an upgrade you only need a panel filter and FMIC to get the power out of the stock turbo, it's been proven over and over that the rest doesn't add much and is pretty expensive.
Good luck and enjoy the car.
I think you've got some cool mods on there. It's nice you have added a personal touch. Don't listen to the haters, do what makes you happy.
Thanks!
I hope you still have this beautiful car I love and enjoy every second behind the wheel of mine. Loved your video don’t have all the money for every mod yet bud very insightful
Thanks Jordan for the kind words. Yes I still have the Fiesta, I plan to hold onto this one forever. The car is quite different now from when I shot this video, check out some of my newer content for updates.
You’re most welcome brother will be looking at your other videos much Respect ✊
all of this in 1 take is impressive I won't lie
What a great video! I'm not a huge fan of the racing stripes but the side stripes were pretty tasteful!
I removed the hood stripes shortly after this video, but the side ones remain. Thanks for the good word.
@@gray25xt I'm glad you kept the side stripes!
7:45 I'M A' FIRIN' MAH LAZER! I had to! hahahaha But good mods man!
thanks for all the links!
You bet!
I don't even have st fiesta but still going to try some mods :D
Awesome mods mate..
Carlos Oraison thanks Carlos!!
Hey nice Fiesta man
You’ve really made it yours.
(Jeeper here 🤣 I’m looking at mods for my girl’s normal Fiesta)
Awesome video. Thanks
You bet!
If I ever posted a video that got views I would never read the comments. Its your car. You like what you did to it. Its definitely yours. And youre just showing some people who might get some good ideas for their cars. Some look pretty cool
Ethan Crisp very good advice thanks. Being new at RUclips or at least having a video that’s gotten some views now I was quick to reply early on but I’m getting to the point where I realize it’s not possible not profitable to reply to everyone especially the negativity.
Some of these are a little too loud for me, but well made video and props for you making your fiesta your own, thanks for the ideas, good luck!
Thanks Rob! Yeah a few are too loud for me too, I've removed some of this stuff since I made the video. Mostly just experimenting. Most of it you can remove easily if you don't like.
Thanks for watching!
nice mods man.
Thank you sir. Check out my other vids, they talk about my power and suspension etc. mods, it's not all just bling on this car!!!
Great video! I'm about to buy a 2017 this week! 38.5k miles, for $13,000. I'm wanting to redo the paint job from that cream white to a red base with black racing stripes, then put in your interior mods to contrast. Red and Black Exterior, Black and Red Interior.
The warning sticker is so cute, very fun
What would have been great is if you could list where you got the items. I have been looking for a ring around my engine start button for forever!!!!!
Prefer the look of the three door personally, but credit to you for your mods
Nice I like it
Thank you.
So many negative and just plain rude comments. If you don't like the video or what he did feel free to stop watching...simple as that. While I wouldn't do every mod he has done I appreciate all of the things he did as I did like a few for my ST and that's the point. Pick the ones you like and don't do the ones you don't. At least he gives you ideas. Well done! I enjoyed it and will be doing just a few to my FiST. Thanks for sharing.
Hey thanks for the video and ideas! I wanted to ask about the red door trim, I’m trying to apply it to the rear doors of my st and there’s not as much gap as the front doors to shove the rubber piece into...how’d you get around This? Glue? And if so what type?
Sure thing. I had the same issue, the front was fine but the rear has less gap. I ended up finding a similar product as the one I posted but it was more a "stick-on" (double sided tape) product rather than "shove-in" application. I found it on amazon. It was fine but kept peeling off, the adhesive wasn't the best quality, so I ended up just removing it. Nobody really ever sits back there anyway. The front ones remain though and look great.
I have non ST fiesta but half this is relevant to me
Does anybody know if you can put a ST bumper on the 2013 SE model?
I know it's a long shot but has anyone has any success in the UK with fitting the door card trim? I recently bought one and can't get it to fit for the love of God
I hate my st and I'm not sure why I still watch videos like this... I am glad you are proud of your whip. Would you like to buy mine? It has like 20k on it since I bought it in 2015... hate it. Never drive it. Full of problems and failures. Trunk flies open while I drive, front right wheel is pointing to the opposite direction I'm driving, ac doesn't work, electronic steering decides to not work some days, everything squeaks, doors don't shut most of the time, radio is constantly crashing, vibrates incredibly as you drive highway speed. She's a beauty bud. Pick it up and you can take it home for a pack of smokes and a handshake lol
keegan hoculak bummer man mine has been pretty much trouble free. Sounds like you need to get some warranty work done. Good luck.
4:55 This is the Maxton Design Diffuser I guess? Does somebody know if it would fit on the Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost Black edition?
Nice little upgrades! What is the link for the sunvisor warning stickers from eBay? I can’t seem to find them :/
Where did you get the soft arm rest and the red accents?!?
Nevermind just the soft armrest lol
It's in the description.
Good job
COBB rear motor mount, hood struts, Velossa big mouth, and the third brake light flasher are pretty useful. The rest seemed more or less excessive. Good vid tho
Thank you sir!!!
Love it
Thanks much. Watch some of my newer vids if you have time the look of the car has evolved a good bit since this video.
Hi what do I type in on Amazon/eBay to find #11 ?
Love it how you totally brush off the haters, nice video man. As long as you like it, I don't see the problem at all. Looks good.
Appreciated my friend. I read some of these comments, I think most of the haters are hating because they think I'm taking a bargain basement Fiesta and jazzing it up, they have no idea what a special car a Fiesta ST is much less realize that I've upgraded it to 300whp. All that stuff is on my other videos but most folks haven't gotten past this one.
This video was "full bling" mode....since then I've swapped quite a bit, I'll do a new video update with the new look soon once I install my epic wheels...............
metalic st logo for steering wheel, one for the handbrake and short antenna and dynamic indicators all the mods u need. (shift knob is nice bot 80 for a shift nob no thanks haha i like the stock one enough for that)
I think the sun shade sticker is pretty sweet lol. Should’ve said ST instead of just Fiesta, but I’m sure that’s all the probably had!
Thanks!
Does that gear knob fit the mk8 fiesta st
Few nice parts but almost everywhere in the car now it says ST
Yes it's a bit much I agree. The car is starting to look like the Batmobile from the 60s.
Accept for the boot is that an St boot?
I do really like this maybe some bits are a bit far but it’s nice just shame it’s a 5 door would have looked real sweet in 3 door with all that stuff on it!
If you take some out, it actually looks pretty nice!
Thanks Roy!
Great video man. Ill try some of those on my car
Thanks!
By any chance, does any of these mods add a nice look to the car ?
Been reading the comments, dang people can be rude haha. Looks awesome and I got a lot of ideas for my FoST, I do have to ask what are some of the bigger things you’ve done for performance? I see you’ve got 300 hp to the wheels and I’m looking to increase in power a bit 😁✌️
Hey thanks. The car is a good bit different now than it was in this video, I've changed it up a good bit which can be seen on my other videos. As to your question, check out my other videos where I review all my power mods and more. In short, hybrid turbo, all the bolt ons, tune, just added a pulley which I'll be reviewing soon on a new video.
gray25xt thanks man. You earned yourself a sub 👍😁
Where did you get that front strut bar from? I can't seem to find it anywhere!
Check out my video on suspension mods I talk about it there. I painted mine red, the original color is grey.
Bloody hell your rolling in 💵💵💵
Its Always Jake Buy a Fiesta bro they’re cheap and then you have money for mods.
Buy a Fiesta bro, it’s cheap and then you have money for mods.
honestly, your car looks very cool bro! yeah someone said thats a ricer car, but for me your car looks so cool. maybe you can just use the original ford logo, and get rid some of useless parts inside your car and that would be great bro. nice video btw
Thank you. Look at my newer videos, the car is very different from what's shown here, this is 6 months ago it is in constant evolution.
Hey man, what color combo did you do for the arm rest, I for sure want to replace mine. But the website has a trillion options lol.
KJ Royale Charcoal is the darker color, light grey is the lighter, and white stitching. It matches well but not perfect but it looks great.
What colors did you opt for on the arm rest? I want to get one for mine as well. I see the light grey and white stitching. But is the dark main color Charcoal?
Yes I picked the charcoal and light grey. The charcoal a bit too light, the black might be a better match, but either probably looks good.
Do you happen to have a writeup or extra pictures of your RA mudflap install? I got the DIY kit as well and am debating on the best mounting method on my FiST
Here you are:
www.fiestastforum.com/threads/13799-REVIEW-INSTALL-Rally-Armor-universal-mudflaps/page2
Even though I only have the SE and not the ST I'm gonna do a few of these. I really love my SE because it's not some breakneck fast car but it sure as hell aint slow.
I agree bro, I got the SE version but I've been decking mine out. Put LEDs on it, HIDs, Black rims with dark tint, decals, just funs stuff. Fuck who doesn't like it
How do you fit the red trim on the door interiors? Will it fit on my slightly older model? (2011) looks really cool...
Look for it on amazon or elsewhere... you'll see in the picture, it has a little lip that fits in between the trim pieces to hold it in. Very easy.
The best mod you pulled off are the tail fins, nicely done. Also how did you know which build number your ST was, or did you make one up?
It's genuine, you have to have dealer inside info, a fella in Austria takes your VIN and obtains the number and then makes the plate. But you have to be tacky to get one.
what are your thoughts on the ebay wing risers? The boomba ones are like triple the price of the ebay ones and they look exactly the same. I can't imagine there being much of a difference between the two.
I tend to stick with known vendors...they did the R&D on this stuff and the eBay version copies it and then points you to the Boomba directions. Plus the build quality is likely very inferior. I say get the real thing!!!
I would like to see a little more info on the gas bonnet struts, the short shifter and the other gizmo to improve shifter feel
I have reviews of all of them on my channel, look at my other vids
gray25xt, ok thanks, I will have a look
Wow how does this American fiesta look so different to the uk verison, the 2015 model over here doesn’t have the big satnav monitor screen on the dash like yours, that is on the new 2019 models
What color is the padded armrest, lightgrey or normal grey? Let me know, i'd like to have one myself but i don't know which one matches the recaro seats.
Mine was two tone. Charcoal is the darker color, light grey is the lighter color. Near perfect match, looks OEM.
Thinking about what the Changes on the outside do to the fuel Economy 🤔 (Chance Spoiler angle, Front lip...)
I measure every tank, my commute MPG hasn't changed at all, I drive about 50%city and 50%hwy and get about 32 consistently. The only mod that changed my MPG was the +1 size tires which lowered it to about 31.
How come the US models have the aerial towards the back of the roof but the European models have them at the front? Ford boggles me sometimes
in the UK theyre at the back aswell?
BroGaming they are definitely not. I have a 3 door 2014 model and my aerial is at the front
My housemate had a 2014 and his was at the back... Maybe it just depends on spec
Plenty of images on Google search, even the 5 door models here have them at the front
Rob Nadin yeah mines a 5 door and it’s definitely at the front. The loom for them is configured for the aerial to be at the front, so it can’t ever be at the back.
the diffusers look great... care to let us know how you made and attaced them? also... what intake box is that?
Thanks. The intake is the CP-E though I have a different setup now which I show on some newer videos. The diffuser fin DIY is here:

How's that front lower suspension brace? Noticed a significant change in steering? + gray25xt
Hi Ryan. Check out my review on my suspension mods, I cover the brace there. Of all the braces on my car, the front lower brace made the most noticeable difference. It really reined in the torque steer and helped a bit with traction too. I was pretty surprised actually at how much it helped, I've done bracing in the past but never seen such a difference. Most of the bracing wouldn't be noticed unless you were on the track, but this one really makes a difference you'll notice immediately especially if you have power mods which increase torque steer and traction problems. If I were doing it again I'd have gotten the 4 or 6 point brace instead, as they would help even more.
does your sirius xm still work with the shark fin antenna?
Yes it's loud and clear. But different geography could affect your car differently than mine. If it doesn't work it's a 5 minute job to re-install the stock antenna.
Did you ever add the tinted sequential mirror indicators?
Cost in the uk is £20 off ebay and its a 10 min per mirror fit.
Yes I did a video on it.
Think you could do a video slightly more indepth on adding the Homelink to the visor?
Here's a thread where I have plenty of info:
www.fiestastforum.com/threads/7444-DIY-Homelink-6?highlight=homelink
Do you have a link for that trim you used inside and grill?
Its in the description or just find a similar product if no longer available.
Is there any advantage to mud flaps..... or are they purely cosmetic? I see they are a common WRX addon.
Rally cars use mud flaps to keep dirt off the car on the course. People like the rally look so they add them. They are functional too, they keep dirt and rocks coming from the tires (especially if spinning) from damaging the paint.
Hahaha the handbrake cover is made for right hand drive cars and it says “eco sport” 😂😂
Yeah I ordered one that only said "ST" but that's the one they sent me. 30 days from Taiwan, decided to just keep it.
it it not an ST then?
Yes this car is the ST which is a pretty great Fiesta, it won 22 awards in its debut year, read about it here if this will help:
media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2014/04/08/ford-fiesta-st-wins-22-awards-in-its-debut-season.html
Didn't you paint the shark's fin aerial? Also, not sure I'd raise the spoiler like that as they're designed with airstream and handling in mind.
No the shark fin came as is.
Hi, what s the item number 8? Min 1.56 i don't understand
Homelink. Sends a signal and opens garage doors or gates or really whatever you program it to do. They come standard in many cars but not the Fiesta. So I hacked one out of a junkyard for $6, wired it up, and my garage door opens now.
How do you actually attach the pin stripe? Forgive my ignorance.
I cut mine to fit for the sides, I'm a perfectionist so they came out good. But another way I've done it is use filament tape, and that's really the right and best way to do it. Do some searching, it's pretty easy. Apply the tape where you want the lines, then vinyl over it, then pull the tape which will cut the vinyl perfectly, done. That's how I got the hood stripes perfect. Ended up removing them but still it's the best way.
I'm 14 now but I am saving up for a car, do you recommend the Ford fiesta as a First car as an enthusiast because I am trying to decide between a Nissan 350z and the Fiesta ST
I would suggest the Fiesta ST is a great first car for an enthusiast. By the time you're 16 you should be able to find a good used one with around 100,000 miles for $8,000. Get one that is stock, unmodified. The Fiesta ST is very reliable, much more than a Nissan product. Also it is much more versatile than a 350z and will get you in less trouble. Also insurance will be cheaper and it is much more fuel efficient. It's just a more fun car too. Good choice.
Not sure if that rear 3rd brake light function is a safe idea or not. I like the idea of its 5 flashes before costant but it could confuse drivers also. Say fo example you have the same car behind you for a period of time,,, they wouldnt know if you were lightly taping the brake or hard pressing for a fast slow down. ........
Crash! lol great car btw
Thanks.
The 5 flashes only happens once every 15 seconds. It resets after that to flash again. So if I brake it flashes, but if I brake again before 15 second are up it lights solid. Once 15 seconds are up it flashes again, and on and on. They set it up this way to avoid the problem you're talking about.
It really is a great mod. People stay off my bumper now whereas before they would ride up on it. The car is so small, I think that lends to this happening more. People in big SUVs or trucks tend to ride my bumper more when I'm in my Fiesta than when I'm driving my Odyssey. Since I've installed the flasher people stay back especially at red lights, it like magic.
There are some studies on the PULSE website, it reduces accidents by increasing reaction time of the driver behind you, check it out, it's really a worthy mod. If you've ever been hit from behind someone looking at your cell phone you'll really appreciate this product.

So many horsepower you do not wanna mess with this guy
how hard was it to install the cobb mount and did you do it by yourself?
The mount is very easy to install and I did it myself. You simply remove a few bolts, replace the mount, and replace the bolts. There are how-tos on RUclips you can use as a guide. The only protip I'd offer is if things bind up and it's difficult to get things lined up, just put a jack here or there and lift slightly, it will remove the tension/weight and allow for easier install. That's a helpful tip when installing any mount. The engine/transmission will weigh on the mount and make install harder so just jack it up a few mm and you can work very easily.
I have a normal 2015 fiesta se… can I still use these mods?
Some yes some no you'll have to research.
