I had this set from a few years back and finally put them on.


It gives your OLD crappy Contour a "new-ish" feel to the interior. Most new cars come with some kind of silver/chrome ring around the gauges.


Looks nice on the contour gauges:

That reminds me, I need to get to installing the set I picked up for the SVT years ago now. I have had a set on the SeVT-T for years. Its a great suttle mod to do.
 
These look great! Are they just the rings you get on eBay or were these an OEM part on the Mondeo or something?
 
Same one the company sells on ebay. I don't think mondeos have any from the factory on our generation.
 
They aren't that bad to put in. A little finessing and they will seat pretty well.

One tip, put a dab of glue under them. I had mine in and after driving on some rough road, the tach ring fell out.
 
Oh yah, I see Brian. Yours are a full ring and go across the bottom of the gauge.

Not sure which style I like better, but either is an upgrade :cool:.


Looks like mine stick up above the black bezel and yours sit flush with the face of the bezel.
 
Nice! It's about time. :cool:

I have the same ones as Brian. They were a pain in the ass to install though. Centering them and keeping the glue hidden was the problem. Everytime I thought it was good, I'd install them and see glue peeking out from the sides.

I wish I had the ones Joe has. They came out after and at that point I was too pissed to change them out. :laugh:
 
Unreal the little touches you guys have added that make your cars so outstanding
