Bah for me not reading your original post ...

Props that it's functional, but it just looks like said above ... a phone book or tissue box, basically a box glued to the hood. It might look fine with a Subaru or boxy car, but the Contour has too many aerodynamic curves that make this stand out awkwardly.

One example of a hood with a scoop that (IMHO, of course) flow better with the Contour: link (Mondy)

Okay .. I couldn't find any that are actually on a Contour .. but there you go

Of course .. you get what you pay for too, custom fab hoods are expensive ...
