My 94 T-Bird had the b-pillars done in a flat black which is why I even noticed the lack of black on the contour. What are your states regulations on window tint? This might just have to be on my to do list!! 2000 SVT Contour - Silver # 1675/2150 svt1675@comcast.net This Shine brought to you by the letter "Z" for Zaino

I suggest using the same method I did for the b-pillars. Use Flat Black Vinyl. It just sticks on and it is removable. It doesn't peel, or crack or fly off in the car wash. I have had the same kind of vinyl on my headlights and visor for over 2 years and the only thing wrong with them is I should have waxed them. They don't take 2 years of UV rays very well. They are starting to look brown. If you keep your car in the garage most of the time, then it wouldn't matter. I will be reapplying them very soon. ------------------ Chris Hightower http://crush7.dyndns.org/ -Chris Hightower- -Hightower Performance Products, LLC (Oo.�xx�.oO) o xxxxxxxxx o
