How do you make a Tred SE look better then a black SVT

[imurdaddytoo sport]

you tell me, for some reason i cant get over this shot of my old SE, looks much better then my svt IMO

so to do some justice for the svt

Both look pretty nice-- Clean up that engine bay on the Tred and it would be extremely nice

SVT needs a drop and a good detailing....
You buy the supplies and I'll give you a hand detailing it at the car wash close to my place.

Nice rims, now I hate you...

T-red is inherently better than black on a Contour. :shrug: Don't get me wrong, I love both colors, but T-red just makes your eyes pop.

I love that SE ... apart from the mesh, fogs and side skirts, it looks exactly like my old Contour.

needs more jack point cover!

Your black SVT needs a detailing bad! I have to agree with the comment on the T-Red though. Something about T-Red that just makes your eyes pop. I've seen well taken care of black cars before and they are eye catching because the paint looks miles and miles deep :drool: A good detailing should help you out a bunch. Clean that engine bay too!:help:

1) Knauberize SVT
2) Remove Front Plate Holder
3) Jack Point Cover
4) Maybe Tint? I still haven't decided if I like tinting on black cars...

ha yea the svt hasnt been detailed in about two months, its about time, and really im just afraid to knauberize the svt, whereas the se was not my car (my parents) so i didnt really care how it came out. btw i have the jackpoint cover, just need to paint it....

Black CSVT>TRed SE

jack point cover

Well, you could paint it T-red. :idea:

 

[rkneeshaw]

its just the lighting IMO, in a different light that black would pop and look awesome but in that pic you can't really see any of hte reflection.

 

[Dr. Cross]

It's all in the background....the garage doors are down in the T-red pic and up in the SVT pic :laugh:

Black looks good but well cared for toreador red can't be beat on a contour. I was drooling over a few of the t-red svt's at SZ.

 

[elraido]

I have a t-red and would rather have black

 

[Bugzuki]

In my opinion the SVT looks way better then the SE. It is just that the SVT picture is darker then the SE picture, no sun shining on it. SVT's look much stronger and sleeker. SE's look like cars to get you from point A to point B. In my opinion.

Personally, I really like the clean lines you've maintained on your SVT. As someone else suggested, if you dropped the body a bit, it would look awesome. I'm a minimalist, and I think you have done a great job. Love the rims- simple is better!

To answer tersely; You don't. You buy a black SVT. However, Marla (My T-Red SE) wouldn't much like to hear that... I hope my baby knows I love her most.
