A big thank you goes out to GTOPete for helping me get these parts together and getting me a good deal

yes I already had the Elky Mesh ... just waiting on a few new parts to arrive and I will install everything next weekend

I would be installing them on the car right now but it is up in Enfield and I am home in Monroe at the moment ...

How did you get the bumpers? Your parents' Windstar, or ingenuity with the Mystique?

Are you keeping the Contour the same color?

Can't wait to see the finished product!

Matt I used the windstar to drive down to Maryland to pick up the bumnpers, it was the best way to do it. I don't think that I did to bad, I started with 1/4 tank in the van and filled it twice, total $104 in gas, used about 1 and 3/4 tanks of gas. Honestly the bumpers are larger then you think, I folded the seats in the van and the bumpers reached over both sets of rear seats

The contour will remain Medium Steel Blue Metallic, and this will be the second contour, that I know of or that has been on the site with that color and SVT body parts.

Like I said, installing everything next weekend then I need to find a place to hav ethe car painted.

Too bad you're not looking for a high-mileage one.

You wanna see obsessed? Ask my family what I do every single day after work.

My mom got tired of asking what I was doing with the cars all the time.

She just said to me, so do you just take apart parts of your car just to see if you can put it back together again?

I don't know at this time, I really do love how it looks, maybe alittle down the road since I need to get the car painted first and I am sure that will cost a bit.
