Ok some of you may think this is awful, but I did put an aluminum "racing" wing on my 95 tour. My car is a light blue (If anyone actually knows the name to the color please tell me) and the aluminum actually goes well with the blue I think. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion. Thats fine with me. I won't take your anti rice comments too hard. LOL!! Clicky clicky on the link to see the photos.

I will test to make sure this link works. If not there will be another post with the correct link made!

at least you're not like alot of people who claim to have a cool mod and then you click it and it shows a box of uncle ben and they wanna dispute whether its rice or not...you know its ricey..and I can't hate you for it.

That said, I hate it. It looks so dumb almost like an after thought. The contour is a subtle car with subtle curves, you can't just put a park bench on it and call it cool. It doesn't flow at all. If it were a Civic(with more square corners) then it would be ok (for a civic) but on a contour its hideous.

On a that note (Civics) whats with the Tuner scene...I would figure tuning your vehicle means making it stronger and faster...not brighter and more flashy. With the Contour all the subtle things add up. This car has a wonderful body, and nice curves...if you debadge, clear corners, add mesh, and paint rear reflector and headlights the car will look 10 times better than throwing a park bench on it...plus You'll be saving money (since you're obviously being a thrifty tuner) for the more important things like suspension and stuff thats actually important(like making the car fast)

You said you wouldn't take this too hard so I figure I could shoot you up like 50 cent...no hard feelings though...

BTW if you're going full blown rice you need a few more stickers of items you don't currently have(5 HP per sticker) and you also have to get the spinner hubcaps..

Not my thing, but then again not every tour should look the same. I still prefer the stock lip spoiler for the pre 98 trunk lids.

WOW, that thing is huge

Is it just me, or is that wing backwards?

Well I think it is very ugly. You need a bodykit to balance it off. The light blue color I also do not like. And the steelies have got to go. At least get some hub caps. I'm not against rice but for the car to look good: chrome rims, lowered, bodykit (nemisis), ect. Most people on here would still hate it but I would like it.

No he's on the right track. It's a lightened wing and the steelies are reducing weight for the strip of course, and that IS a free flow exhaust = megaman HP.

All he needs is some NAWZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and about 20 decals and you can star in the next FF movie.

But hey, if that's what makes you proud to drive a contour so be it
