I am glad to see some young pups on here....I will be turning 27 in April. I just picked up my CSVT back in October. Backstory for those that do not know, my aunt bought the car new in the summer of 97 with under 100 miles. Used it as a daily driver with a little zip. Fast forward 9 1/2 years and 174,000 miles she buys a 2006 Mazda Tribute and the dealer wanted to give her 300 bucks for the SVT in trade (mileage and SEVERE hail damage). She promptly declined the trade-in offer and offered to sell the 'Tour to me. I paid her 800 dollars cash. The CSVT is by far the best car I have ever owned. In order it has been 1) 1976 Buick Skylark, 2) 1986 Chevy Celebrity, 3) 1994 Chevy Cavalier, 5) 1987 Chevy Camaro RS, 6) 1994 Ford Ranger, 7) 1994 Ford Tempo, 8) 1998 Ford Contour SVT. Point of my long-winded thread is as follows: Work hard and have patience and you will get what you want in the end. Side note: Did you say that was GutterGuard on your SVT, shizapoo? In general question...how does one go about attaching aftermarket mesh and best way to paint it and keep it from fading/tarnishing?
