Answers:
1. Yes, easy
2. No
3. Not that I'm aware of...but I'm sure it could be done.
Internet address/links for aftermarket companies can be found in the FAQ or Mods sections from the main contour.org page. SPMotorsports is in the process of moving servers so you'll have to wait on them...but CTA and KKM are still up. Then of course...SHO Shop, Performance Fords, Redline, Dunnel, Crower, Esslinger, BNMotorsports, HPProducts. They all have parts and mods for our cars.

17" (inch) rims will fit with no problem, however they do not make 17' (foot) rims.
Sorry I just had to, couldnt resist.
