Doesn't Amarv have this in his ride?

Didn't look so bad then. I can't say it looks awful LancasterSVT. Suit to your tastes. I found that anything different doesn't look right..when I have the time, I have a special plan for my interior trim/speaker grilles that'll look subtle enough to look stock.

Ya, i've got those in my Mystique.

My current mystique is a 98 and i have the matching shifter handle. My old 99 stique had the 'wood' trim pieces, but the shifter handle was black leather. Both vehicles have ATXs. The 99 had the tan interior, didn't look bad at all. Here's some pics of mine:






As far as plastic wood goes, these actually aren't so bad. They really have depth in the 'grain,' however they made it, it's not a bad imitation of real wood veneer.

I don't think those pieces will work in a Contour anyway. They look to be out of a pre-99 Mystique, which had a completely different dashboard design. For a Contour, you'll ones like these:

since wood on every other car now days looks cheap as hell

Aluminum trim!! ehhh...maybe not


i had a chrysler cirrus before my csvt and it had that fake wood stuff. it looked ok but i always thought that the real wood look should include real wood.
