It was looking good until I put clear coat on and it messed up so I need to redo it now =/ As for the tails I just followed the reflector part inside the lens and painted/clear coated it. Thanks for the input though guys, good or bad. As for the pre-98 trunk it looks good I just don't have the money and I kinda like the rear reflector painted. Just my opinion, everyone has different tastes. 98.5 Silver Contour SVT 4931/6535 - March 8th, 1998.

You covered up the rear red reflectors that are required on the back sides of all cars. 98.5 Black SVT with 34k miles Build #5683 Born on 4\15\1998 WR Headers GMK CAI Blaupunkt system fiberglass tweeter pods L.E.D. tail lights in the works

I agree with Scotster regarding the sail panels (though I have no clue what "daylight opening" means). That's just how automotive designers refer to glass on the car. I guess I just picked that one up at school. Actually the industry norm for window graphics is "DLO" for day light opening. Dashboards are IP's, for Instrument panels, etc. Everyone loves to have abbreviations.

And yes its not the exact Silver Frost but matches well enough for me 98.5 Silver Contour SVT 4931/6535 - March 8th, 1998.

I beg to differ. Painted looks like an Oldsmobile, as shown in the picture. I need to stop posting before 6am evidently. Matthew 2000 Nissan Maxima SE Sold: 98.5 Contour SE V6 ATX
