Don't know if it makes a difference though but it looks nice. 2000 Contour Zetec ATX Hector Mods...I got em' "Contour grills, Contour bills, check out the oil my Contour spills." 2.SLO = 17.6 at 80mph My profile

Some people say to not use the Yellow top because it is bad for starting. I live in WI and have had my Yellow top in my Honda for three years, and it starts just fine. Oh yeah, does anyone know where I can get a good looking battry hold-down? My old one was corodded(sp?) from a bad Die Hard. 96 Contour GL (2.0L Zetec, ATX) Sony CDX-C780 HU, Sony CDX-805 10 disc Changer, Sony XDP-210EQ, RF Punch 100.2 Amp, RF Punch 240.4 Amp, Dual 12'' Punch subs, Four Infinity Kappa 693.3i 6x9's, Optima Yellow Top CTA Intake, Hood Struts, EL Ford Logo, Hi Beam/Low Beam Mod, Blue LEDs in door handles and footwells
