Come on y'all, admit it, the 1998 and up SE with stock Ford wheels is a much cleaner, and overall better looking car than any of the early/late Contiques, and especially the over pimped SVT.
Why put all that skirting and fluff on a good looking vehicle.
I think the Black is the best.
This is just my observation, I know some will disagree.
What do you think?

I think the best looking models were 96-97 T-Red SE's with tan leather. I say 96-97 because I dont like the chrome strips on the bumper for 95.

I think the SVT's are definately the best looking Contique. Thet're a very clean looking car, not 'overpimped' at all. Second best would have to be the pre-98 SE with side skirts, factory rims, lip spoiler etc.

I'm buying one of these in a couple of days. But I still also like how my '95 LX looks with the BAT suspension and E1 rims...lean and clean.

I'm with both of you, i'm lucky enough to own both a SVT and a 97 SE  i love my SE, but the SVT looks sick in stock form... good luck with the SVT hunting Jeb!

I think both the SVT and SE are very nice cars. I ended up with an SVT, but started out looking for a 97 Moonlight blue SE with a 5 speed, and I would have been happy with that car too...
