My Name Is Joshua Troth. I am new to the CEG. I am a college student at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse. I am just now getting around to fixing up my contour and could use all the help I can get. I have a '98 Z-TECH contour and I would like to know where i can find after market parts for a decent price.

Like where to find:

Rims
Tail lights
Fog lamps

And that kind of stuff.
Thank you for your time.

Rims- check tirerack.com, wheelmax, or wheelznext
taillights- There are not aftermarket tails for our cars. Most peeps who want aftermarket looking ones make them. On the Pre 98's there is a clean lens under the red. They cut the red one off and put a red bulb in it.
Fog lights- Check the classifieds adds, people are always selling them in there.

Enjoy your stay at CEG

If you dont know where to get wheels, you've been living under a rock. Try discount tire... Or ebay. 4x108

I'll bet you are looking for altezzas, and they are not made for the contour, thank god!

Theres a couple selections here...
Most expensive are the PIAA's (not worth it)
Most popular are the hella optiluxs (about 50 bucks)
The cheapest are the proburners which can be picked up at walmart (I have these and they are fantastic, at a little over 20 bucks, you cant go wrong!)

Saweeet! I did not know that. I will have to go to the junk yard and pic some up just to try to make them.

Just my opinion. The stock fogs look like a waste of time AFA actual usefulness.

If you do a yard pick you'll need the headlight switch and dash indicator as well. There might even be another relay required.
