No, sorry not the dearly departed black SVT. Moment of silence. It's a champagne colored SE. It's been sitting at a gas station for quite a while now, T-boned in the drivers side. Thought I'd beg for the wheels since it's been there for a long time. In return they can have Steph's lovely wheels and covers. Good trade, huh? Sorry to get your hopes up! Christine

What year was it? If it is a pre-98 ask how much for the trunk lid and lights!! We need a junkyard run. Anyone want to run to Harry's tomorrow with me? :p

Kress Auto Recyclers (same company, right next door I think) will have parts from newer wrecks pulled from stock. That happens to be where I got my new (to me) control arms. You can search their site for parts. http://www.WeGotUsed.com/recyclers/index.html

No, not a pre 98. Don't know if they'll let me buy the wheels or any other parts. Nothing has been removed from the car as of yet. Just sits there. I would think that the insurance would have settled up by now, it's been there for about 6 months or more. I'll try to get up there tomorrow and get some details. I'll let you know. I'd go with ya but I gotta wait for the pool installer to show (says he's coming). He was supposed to be here 2 months ago. I want my pool! Either of you know how to install a pool??? Well, if ya go and see any decent wheels let me know. Hate seeing "her" car with those crappy wheels and covers. Christine

Jason: How come no one ever has anything for our cars?!?! That's ok, only about 1/3 of what I was looking for came off of the CDW27 platform. The ohter 2/3 came off of the DSM and Taurii. Luca: I've been contemplating selling my 17" since the OZ Superleggerra 3-piece came out.

Told Steph that you may sell your 17's. She's working like crazy and saving her money. When I first suggested new wheels she said "I like my star wheel covers." She's such a girl!! :rolleyes: But now that she's seen all the Contour pictures she wants to get rid of the "star" covers. Chris
