I didn't see the actual baffle kit until it was on the pan, so I don't really know what it looks like in pieces. There are 2 baffles, one forward and one left of the pickup location in the pan/tray. They are hinged and open towards the center. All the sheet material is spring steel. There is also a piece over to the shallow end of the oil pan, with a slot in it for drainage back into the pan.
Vadim told me that he contracted with a "racing company" (any SoCal guys wanna clue me in on that one) to develop. He assured me that they had experience running Contours. They originally wanted four hinged baffles, but decided that only the two that come into play during braking and hard right turns were necessary. I am told that the installation is very easy once the oil pan comes off. It bolts right in to the tray inside the pan. They obviously did significant development because the sell sheet I have says May 2001 for the kit, but it wasn't for sale until recently.
I'm going to try to put the pic here:

In this pic you see:
[*] The front hinged baffel (the left one is not shown)
[*] The tray on top of the gap between the OEM tray and the right side of the pan
[*] Four bolt/nut sets (far left, top, and two on the right)
Sorry about the contrast, but I wanted to get the lower baffle clearly.
SHO Shop sells for $129.
