My mom had a 96 taurus before she got her civic. It was alright and pretty comparable with the contour. The contour weighs less so I'm guessing it would actually perform better. My mom's taurus had some problems though she got the civic so she wouldn't have to worry about having any problems for a long long time. I personally would rather have a contour, but you really might want to do your mom a favor. As far as I know, there are no body kits for 2nd or 3rd gen tauruses, just 1st gen, and even then options would be limited.
