Thanks man. I am not trying to copy anyone's look but damn, that look is too hott! I really like the simplicity of it. I am not one to have too much going on at once. Well here is the deal: I just got my car out of the shop. I wrecked it last month on the 17th. I live in South Carolina and we had some bad ice/sleet storms one week. Needless to say, even at 35 MPH in 5th, the ice doesn't play. I went off into a deep, steep ditch and ruined the front end. Out of this deal, I managed to get the entire car painted and now she is gorgeous. Not even a single scratch or ding on her. I just dropped $30 on car supplies in order to keep it looking this good. I have two rolls of film in pictures of my car. Before and after. I will post them as soon as I can get ahold of a scanner. I want the RS5 18's with the 2" drop by Sprint. I had a light kit and the whole nine (green lights in front grill etc.) but again, needless to say, that shidt is no more. The deductible kicked my ass and wiped me out for now. Gonna take some time to get her back the way I had it but I have a lot more to start with this time. I will post some pics ASAP for you all to see. I noticed the green ones are kinda rare in pictures and discussions on here in comparison to the other three colors. I adore that red though. Unggh. Well enough of me taking up space here. Just give me your opinions on the Sprint springs and how good of a ride you expect me to have. I am confident that it is what I am looking for. I have my heart set on Ground Control's but like I said, $$$ is all f'd up right now. That'll just be something for me to upgrade to here soon. Till then...

1FASTDAD... Your car is by far the lowest I have ever seen any tour... You need some 18 or 17 inch wheels on that thing with some rolled fenders!

Best mod ever to my tour: A Beautiful passenger seat filler, that is my girl!!

So like...you basically sit low enough to drive right under an 18 wheeler. Right? 
Get me a vid-clip of you doing that at 140 mph with your black Veilside body kit, coffee-can sized exhaust, and "green neon glow from under the chassis". It helps if you have two other Tours that look like that, and your trying to hijack a bunch of car parts from a big rig.
I'm only playin' man. Sweet Tour, and do yourself a favor and cash in on some big ol' dubs!

The only spring I know of that lowers the tours that much is the Intrax. I hear they ride like crap though. What am I talking about though. My suspension is solid as a rock.
Just got home from getting my inTrax springs installed @ my friends house and I can tell you they ride far from "crap", I'm VERY pleased. So

That's good to hear. I was just saying what I heard from past posts. I am not saying it's a crap spring. I am saying that the Intrax spring is an extremely stiff spring and I heard from others that the ride isn't pleasant, but handles much better. You have to make a sacrifice somewhere right..? Shoot I have no room to talk about stiff suspension the the Ground Control is as stiff as it comes. I am like you and don't mind the bouncy stiffness.
Thanks for the props guys.
Hope to see you all at SZ03.

That's funny but I also would like to say sorry for playing with your heart like that. I didn't have the heart to sell the car. I always try to sell it then when a single person offers me some cash I am like okay I don't want to sell it. I thought I wasn't going to be able to afford the new house, new Mustang GT, and Contour SVT but I can. Not bad for a 21 yr old.  So plan on having more desktop pics of OutlawdSVT and me. We are having a get together and taking group pics. But we all here have that sick little contour love.

Hey, I do have to say I love the drop on mine. I have the Intrax which handle really well...seein how there are wayyyyyy too many bumpy roads round here. I love it, not bad at all. I deliver pizza in mine, so I go over many speedbumps and regular driving. Its worth it to get them. I was worried about the problem of the speed bumps, but its not even a problem. http://hometown.aol.com/contourchic/myhomepage/chatprofile.htmlHere is a few pics of my 'tour, cant see all too well the drop, but its there. I also have a pic of it on concrete if ya wanna see that. Just email me here or at contourchic@aol.com. Enjoy whatcha got!!!
