One center cap came to me with broken clips. Of course the person I bought them from decided not to tell me until I emailed them when I got them. I just used some Goop adhesive on it. Nothing crazy, but they will not come off for sure. I used them on the last caps I had, and even though they were the wrong ones and didn't fit correctly, they never budged.
Yeah, the car looks just like mine did. I've gone through a bunch of changes recently though. Haven't had time to do a photoshoot of it this year though. Soon though.
Anyways, enough of that. Lets keep the thread on topic for ya.

thanks tony, ok back on topic, im going to paint the strips for sure this weekend. i just need ideas about the color. black blue. im thinking black is easier becuase i dont have to paint jambs, engine compartment, trunk all that stuff. i just hate how black shows all the bad stuff, just like white paint and dirt showing. i like the black besides that so ill probably keep it black but anything else i can paint? morrors and strips are all i could think of.

Hi Im new heere, and I was wondering what type of mods you all do to your Contours? Maybe someone can put together a small list?
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

i painted my mirrors all one color. For the sake of everything holy take them off the car to paint. because otherwise your power window will go out and then you realize that you have to remove the mirror to get into the door and then you realize the paint covers the joint between the two and then you have to fix where the paint chipped a little and then.... lol but anyways. i tought having black in there would look crappy.

Body colored mirror bases only looks on black - ties with the sail panels. IF people would use a sealant on the black peices adjacent to the windshield, they would not fade. 5+ years and mine still looked brand new when I sold it.
