way to big, go with something smaller that blends with the lines of the car, doesn't need to stick out to look good

As above, to each his own. If you like it, great. But it adds little to nothing (and possibly negative impact) performace-wise.
My preference is to leave wings up to the original designers of the cars or those cars that can actually hit 160mph for sustained periods. Anything else just looks poseurish...Like trying to get V8 sounds from 4 or 6 cylinders. Puh-lease..
Personally, if I see a wing on most cars, I usually LOL and think "high school kid" with more money than brains and/or a very bad taste in auto styling. Again...to each his own.
I love my Contour to death, but my 'vette is still my #1 baby.
There's money to be made in racing. I should know. I put a lot of it there.
You can make a small fortune in racing. Start with a large one.
How fast do you want to go...how much money do you have?
You can fix a lot of things, but you can't fix stupid!

it doesnt seem to match the contours (pardon my pun) of your car - its a very "industrial right angle"-y wing, and our cars are very smooth and curvy on the back end. just my two cents.

yea.
i like *some* of the wings you guys pick out for your 'tours. pictures are kind of hard to tell.
there is a red svt and a purple se (?) on here that have aluminum spoilers that are GORGEOUS! Anyone know who I am referring to? In context, Xtremecontours' looks good too

A big "Hell no" on the wings...
The only spoiler I really like is the 95-97 lip spoiler.
The larger ones after that are passable (and I even have one)
