I want to do this mod, but have no idea how to go about it. i was thinking about a front mounted antenna similar to the mondeo/focus, but want to do the little one that does'nt stick up off of the car more than 3 or 4 inches. 2000 Contour Se Zetec 2.0L No go mods yet, but a couple of show mods -Pilot HyperWhite Fog lights -Blue courtesy/dome lights -Reverse Indiglo Gagues from www.procarparts.com -Headlight/Climate control knobs, vents, glove box handle, and "Contour" dash badge painted in Silver Frost to match exterior -Ventguards -20% tints -Aiwa CDC-X317 CD player 45 watt per channel piping through stock (ick) speakers -Knauberized. -coming soon: Amplifier/bazooka bass tube (too lazy to put them in), Arctic blue headlights.

It was a breeze Just drill a hole where you want the Antenna wire to run through and Make sure it's straight... It is a pretty easy process....
