Have you ever had a CF hood on your car? Have you ever installed one?
Check Ryan's sig.

I know, he has the cowl hood - which from the 4 that I have seen in person - require modifications. The OEM CF hood require mods that differ than the cowl hood.
I've installed 2 different types of OEM CF hoods and both required different mods to the latches - different from each other and different than the cowl hood. Getting the hoods to line up perfectly front-back and side-side was not easy either.
Maybe it's me, but I've never heard anyone claim that it's easy to swap hoods.

A moderator hijacking a forumn... that's like Jesus Christ using God's name in vaine! 
Just messin, had to drop that one on ya Pete.
As far as Your hood Ryan, in your pics, there seems to be a bit of a larger gap on the drivers side comapred to the passenger side, is there not? This is what adjusting takes care of.. hours of tinkering from what I have read.

Is it just me, or does it look like the line on the Contours side (Runs from quarter panel to rear quarter panel, kinda creats a little flat shelf on the doors right under the windows) is missing on the Mondeo? Sorry if this has been asked before, and maybe my eyes are deceiving(sp?) me, but it looks like that, is that why body parts from the Mondeo don't match up with the Contour?

Amongst MANY other things, yes. I hear that the overhead console and the rear tailight bulbs are about the only compatible parts.
