I dont get it!
I really dont like it at all,too much crap going on,wheels to big spoiler WAY to big,exhaust way to long......
tone it down a bit,it screams crap every where you look.

I like the wing, it just needs to be on lower mounts. I like the dark wheels too, keep them black or maybe go dark gray. I don't think bronze would look right...

Sorta looks like an SMA 3" exhaust peaking out from under there... Is it?

The wing really neds to go.
Are those 30 or 45 series tires?
(Anything smaller than 45 performs horrible on concrete/cement/asphault)
Rims are fine don't do anything to them.
Body kit a must.
Exhaust a little on the "ify" side.

Here's my opinions, as if they are important.

1. Since you already have it and I cant force your hand on the potential riceyness of a highboy spoiler on an FWD, let's look at it this way. I think your wing may work nice with an SVT body kit, but how about this for a spin on originality? Do like bnoon suggested and put the wing on 2 or three inch pedestals instead of 8" or whatever it is now....also, paint the WING body color, but powdercoat the PEDESTALS/MOUNTS the same color as your wheels, whatever you end up going with.

2. SVT body kit with mirko splitter is about as agressive a body treatment as is available...would definitely balance out the car.

3. Exhaust looks fine, but having an SVT rear valence back there would let you see all you want to see but hide what you want to hide...accentuate the exhaust without overstating it...right now the arse end looks sorta nekkid.

4. Consider painting the chrome trim ring body color. Also, consider changing your decal color to match your wheel color.

5. I, for one, love gold/bronze wheels. I think a dark gold wheel would look smooth, but only if you carry that same color to other trim elements (wing pedestals, decals). Too bad they dont make Volk Racing TE-37's for our cars...that dark color gold and spoke pattern would be the **** with your midnight blue color.

That is all. You'll probably get a thousand different responses.

Thanks for all the replies.
HWCM-those kinda of harsh words are not that welcome.. You just could have said you didnt like and thats it.

At least some distinguished members on this forum like my car.. Thank BNOON for the comments and i am looking into the pre98 trunk and getting a drag wing which has smaller stands.. And about the exhaust it is a custom job from the local muffler shop. I have no main cat with a 2.5" pipe from the flex to a borla 1 in 1 out muffler where the resonator used to be and then it is stock svt piping all the way to the y split where it turns in to 3" piping and then goes out to 4" stainless steel tips... It sounds great I love the rumble my car has it has a nice deep throaty sound.

99SVTGUY- thanks for the comments I am going with hella's front bumper, and the SVT rear(if i can get a decent price on a used one) and the wing is also in the works.. The rims I am not to sure about yet either black gloss or maybe a dark bronze if possible.. And i am also going to do the hightower headlights and paint the ring hopefully before Nationals..

Sounds like a solid exhaust setup to me! Way to be original...I once had my CSVT straight piped with nothing more than a glasspack...sounded awesome @ WOT (like a race car) but got the police after me.

What kind of wheels are you running and what size. whole package looks sweeeeeet!

Is this what you were thinking for the bronze powder coating?



I think that's bronze...

Oh the horror... the wing!!!

Leave it alone! Dammit man it looks perfect, leave the wing on it insane mount! Brad is right about it being too high, but that is what is so great about it, it screams "LOOK AT ME I'M A CONTOUR WITH HUGE ASS BLACK WHEELS AND A MASSIVE WING THAT MIGHT HAVE FALLEN OFF GOD'S CAR AND I FOUND IT AND STUCK IT ON A CONTOUR!"

Now go get Hightower to paint your damn lights, get that bodykit, then drive around and count how many people DON'T turn rubber necked when you drive by (If you count the people who do you will quickly lose count and in the confusion crash into a tree killing a family of squirrels. How could you?

So as you can see, losing the wing or painting the wheels bronze will result in death. Obviously your only choice is to leave them the way they are
