If that was an MTX, it would have been mine. Even though mine is an ATX. I concur, CD4E FTL

That is SUCH a kick-ass color of blue. Someone a few houses down from me has a really nice Jetta that color. Slightly lowered, wheels, body kit. Looks sweet!

To be honest, the final price was one I probably could have reached by parting it out. The guy tried to lowball us and I said "for that Ill keep it and sell it piece by piece for more than that!" Thats my used car warranty. If it breaks, part it out and come out ahead

Yes. My brother actually has a early 98 Contour GL that is that exact same color. It was built in 97 and some how managed to get the 95-97 Moonlight blue color. Previous owner went to Ford to get a touch up paint and they had a hell of a time finding the color until they realize that it was a 97 paint code. It's amazing looking. He was looking for SVT bumpers and side skirts but couldn't find a good deal. He ended up buying that body kit that you can find on eBay. Then after getting it, painting it and fitting it up he didn't like it and sold the body kit. He is now back to the plaine GL trim. It also has an MTX, but I guess he's looking to sell it now that he has a silver frost 98 CSVT.

I would seriously consider that color if I was to do a full color change paintjob. Too much work though, cause I dont like half arse color changes. If I ever re-paint mine it would be Black metalic, so at least the door sills, engine bay, etc. would match, minus the metallic. I would go with something OEM so that it would be easy to colormatch if the need should ever arise.
In any case, a CSVT in that color would rock. That paint has a lot of sparkle, and would stop you dead in your tracks with a solid detail. As is, that car just had regular washes and some NXT every now and then. The pics above were after a fresh application. Some higher quality wax and a good polish/claybar would have made that thing drop dead.
