Hi gang,
I am looking to outfit the SVT with a new head unit and have always bought Alpine for the last 6 years or so. I am really interested in the 7998 model with the flip up face and din-1/8 display. Problem is that I am a new Ford owner and for the life of me don't know why they put the horrible plastic lips above all the stock radio locations.
I have done some searches and read that some forum members had installed these units but had to do a little bit of install modifying to get the face to flip up without rubbing or catching the lip. So before I buy this unit I was curious if someone could post/show pics of how much trouble this install is or if I should steer clear of this head unit on the Contour.
Thanks,
Bob
