Just wanted to drop in and say hi. I just picked up a '98.5 Contour SVT Saturday morning . She's black on black, has 18" Dynamic wheels, Pirelli P7000 rubber, a spoiler (that I am not sure of whether it is staying or going), and it certainly seems like it has a set of different springs on it. So far I'm loving every minute of it; I've already put close to 200 miles on it. Did I mention it only has 45k on it ? Anyway, here's some pics:

Hello and welcome to the boards. I think the look of the wing is in good taste, it kind of flows with the car.

Yeah, it's not too bad...I don't know. I've definately seen worse, so maybe I'll just leave it. We'll see

Very nice car but the wing has got to go. I'll give you $10 for it and take it off your hands for you.

I don't think it flows at all. Nice sweeping curves, then a small, but clunky wing. Its not as bad as most out there, but you can get a more tasteful arching one with a built in brake light, that would look much more natural on the car. The aftermarket one I saw had no center support to get in the way and some room to wax & buff under it.

You got a sweet car though. Low mileage SVT - I hate you!! (j/k)

Welcome to CEG anyway!


Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

6+ car garage

(I'm assuming that's your residence, as it would make no sense having all three of your cars at a car dealer at the same time)

I wish. I live in a condo; our garage is in the middle with the Taurus parked in front of it.
