I agree, the grass looks good. I'd change the shutters to a medium blue...brown is too dark with the yellow. Need to brighten it up a little.
Oh and the muffler...it's way too big and out of position. As the only mod on a stock non-SVT Contour, it just looks out of place. Throws the whole car into the rice category...not being mean, just being honest. Stick with it though...work it out and get it to look right.
Just a rough draft...right?

I just don't understand why people get so upset when honest opinions are asked for, and not everyone likes it?
Stazi, I completely forgot about the caliper! I told you I would! I won't be able to make D&B on sat (softball game, shutup sweet1) but I'll see if I can get someone to take it up there for me.
It's all about balance.

Rule of thumb: don't install a muffler with a tip that's wider than yer tires.

Throw a body kit on there and get some wider wheels + tires and I think it could look OK. It looks out of place the way you have it now.

people get upset at the monnor in which negative comments are said, not at the negative comments... try "the muffler is too big and out of proportion for my taste, but to each his own"... instead of saying "holy lyrical lyrics andre, that muffler is just plain ugly"...no one really said this but you get my point... if he wants to hear critisism he came to the right board thats for sure... do whatever you want my man, its your tour...i think it sticks out alittle too far, thats all... good luck with other mods in the future!

My point is that he asked for opinions; criticism if you will. I don't criticism means making fun or talking sh*t about his car. If you don't like it say you don't like. Don't start making fun of it. When someone asks for your opinions I don't they meant free shots at my ride. :rolleyes:
