Yeah, those half-dozen people with SVT Bumpers/Exhaust on pre-98s are 'so tiring' to look at.

And, newsflash, aluminum wings on the 'Tour are far from 'new'; someone posts one every couple months are so and is subsequently bashed.



I've been here plenty long enough to know that aluminum wings are nothing new on Contours. That's no newsflash to me. I'm saying that if everybody continues with SVT mods to non-SVT cars, then yes it WILL get tiring to look at, pre-98 or otherwise. If every couple months, a newbie shows up with an aluminum wing, then it's at least that often that somebody else shows up with their new SVT bumpers and exhaust.

I'm sure you knew this already though.

I appreciate his wanting to improve the looks of his car, but this is the crap you see on every car out there, I don't think you can really call it something new. SVT kits and exhaust may be what everyone does, but that's because it works with the car and sounds good. Slapping the same monster wing and ridiculously unnecessary exhaust that's on every other 'import tuner' just looks bad. Unless the statement you're trying to make is that you know how to jump on the bandwagon as good as the next guy.



I understand that. I too like that he's going for better than stock, but when people tell him that he HAS to do this or he MUST do that, it's a little overboard like you said. I'm not standing up for his wing, I'm standing up for his right to do what he wants with his vehicle without being cast away as an outsider because he's not doing what WE want him to.

And I resent the high school kid remark. I just graduated and I don't have an aluminum wing or coffee can on my car.
