Hello all, I was wondering if anyone had any idea where to get body kits for a 96' Contour. I have seen -one- for the newer cars, and even those are kind of dull. I have searched high and low across the internet, and I can't find anything regarding the older Contours. No kits, not lights, no aftermarket anything. Oh, and another thing....has anyone noticed these days that people's headlights are WAY too bright? And it's not just the ricer cars, the worst ones are the BMW and Mercedes lights, you know the ones, bright blue and they sear your retinas even in broad daylight...Bleh. If anyone has any sites, or places that carry ANY aftermarket stuff for the older Contours, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

No mods, rollin on 14's with hubcaps, 116,000 miles, and still havent been beaten by a ricer.

Theres nothing RICE about HID headlamps! PERIOD! not only are they brighter but they are safer when driving at night. Everyone should have a set of HIDS!

I didn't say that all HID lights were rice. Apparently I am the only one who thinks it is dangerous, at best, whe you have to squint your eyes against someone's headlight glare when you are driving at night. I see a future of radioactive-isotope powered headlights in the future. I guess I failed to mention the 8,000,000 candlepower spotlights that a lot of the ricers employ as fog lights, they are much worse that the blue HIDs.
