Well PVC intake Eric, I said Ford motorsport wing. it's the part bat sales in their catalog. Mentioned above, The actual wing on a stock car is not the motorsport version. Thus ensuring the car would not look like a million others.

your car looks good. Be different and don't follow the heard of stock Contour's 90% of the people on CEG have. The SVT looks great stock but don't diss the guys that are enthusiasts and want to do something to make their cars personalized. I love touring car racing and that is the look I'm going with my girlfriends 99 'Tour. I went with an aluminum/carbon wing on her car and I love the way it looks. Why is it that everythime I come to these forums I see other members cutting the guys down that want to be different? Why else would you come to a Contour forum if you were not an enthusiast about the car? Everyone has different tastes and seeing what others do with their cars only helps the whole scene grow. here is a pic of the Contour I'm building soon to be on 19" Axis Se7en's when my new wheels come in.

Wow man, I never even noticed the wing on the other thread you started. Anyway, I think the problem with the giant touring wings, is that you won't ever go fast enough to need the down forces that a wing that large is supposed to provide. In other words, it's useless! IMO, your girlfriends car still looks great, but the wing doesn't add anything and would look just as good without it. I hope the new rims you are getting look sweet because the ones on there already really match well!

Hey guys, thanks for all the opinions! About the exhaust, it's actually stock...the only thing that's different about it are the larger chrome tips that were added by John (the previous owner). I like the look of them better than the stock tips. The only modifications other than the wing and exhaust tips are a KKM intake, Eibach Pro springs, and rear strut brace. I'm thinking of doing other mods but first I have to sell my Mystique! Any takers? I'm gonna put an ad in the classifieds now...check there for more info. I'm in the Toronto area!

Well i like it but i think the wing is a little bit 2 tall and those fins on either side of the wing a 2 big too. i made one with smaller wing the way i like it. The sad part is i did it in PAINT, the one that comes with windows. i couldnt find my paint shop pro cd. Heres the orginal  Here is the One i did in PAINT  The 2nd one looks 100 times better IMO (In My Opinion) Go here can click on SVT.jpg geocities wont let me post pics
