Hey Fellas - I'm a pretty new CEG member and I wanted to get some general information about a few things. I recently got my black '98 Ford Contour SE-V6 with a manual about a month ago. I love the car a great deal but it didn't have some options that I thought an SE would have. For example it doesn't have a spoiler or fogs, and I have wheel covers instead of rims. What I wanted to know was, how easy and expensive is it to obtain and install fogs and a spoiler for a 98 Contour? Could anyone suggest a business or web site that could sell these things for a cheap price? Also I've heard that those European side turn signal lamps (like on the Mondeo, and all European cars really) are pretty easy to install. Does anyone have any info on where I could get these from or how to install them?
In addition to this I need some advice on rims. I would love to have a set of 17", but (if I have to be realistic) I'd settle for 16". No matter what it's better than the 195/60R14s that are on them now. If I settled for 16", I'd really like SVT style rims, but anything with a nice five spoke design would do. Do you guys happen to know if you switch out these rims for a larger size, would it screw up the speedometer? Or if I was to switch them out for the SVT sized 215/5016s would this be done without screwing up the speedo? Does anyone who has switched out rims know?
Also I've noticed that either the '99 or '00 Contour SE and Sports seem to have body spoiler extensions on the sides of the car. Anyone know where I could get these, how much they would cost (or where I could get them cheap) and what kind of work is involved in installing them?
Well Fellas, that's a lot of stuff. I'd appreciate any advice, recommendations or feedback you'd all be willing to offer a new CEGer like myself. Thanks!
