i think my emblems are weird

Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives

ok, i just noticed that i havent seen another csvt that has both contour and svt emblems on the trunklid. mine has contour on the left and svt on the right side. anyone know why this is? nothing has been changed since the car was bought new

it isnt an svt lid. svts are on the left.

i learn something new every time i come to this site.

true, but IIRC daveandrews had his svt emblem on the wrong side and he bought the car new off the lot.

Could have just been someone moved it. is the poster the original owner?

no i'm not, the guy who had it before me was a 65 year old man who never changed a thing on it

Mighta been wrecked and the body shop put it on the wrong side after repainting the lid. I've seen pics on here someone took of some Chrysler with a misspelled name.

I agree. The body shop probally bought a trunklid that was already the same color as his car... and then just slapped the SVT badge on the other side. The probally figured a 65 year old man had poor eye sight and a bad memory!

Although it is possible that it came from a dealer like that... what is your cars build number!?!

Just a little bit of info too about the trunk lid......

98 trunk lid had plastic trim behind the reflector. Kinda dressed up the back of the trunk lid and it had little access openings for light bulb replacement.

98.5+ decontented that.

Is the inside of the trunk lid bare or does it have plastic on it?

I don't doubt it. People make mistakes, yes even Ford employees. Things like that could be overlooked. The mistake could have been noticed down the line, but they just left it anyways.

I also don't doubt that is was in an accident and the body shop slapped the SVT on the other side of a trunklid from a Non-SVT contour.

Just my 2 cents...

the car was in an accident once, but the only thing damaged was the drivers side front fender. nothing has ever happened to the rear. i'd go out and check the trunklid but its 3am and i cant see a thing outside

i do have the plastic on the trunklid
