First pics of the 99 Green SVT

[1999contour]

Finally, I own a SVT. It's been a long wait and I couldn't be more pleased. Just got back home about an hour ago and washed her up and took some pics. There is a little bit of work to do, some scrapes on the front bumper and rear passenger door. Also the headlights will need to be wet sanded and buffed. Other than that I am pretty happy, put on about 500 flawless miles since saturday morning.

As for future mods, I plan on leaving it mostly stock besides the trubenz magnaflow without res and a CAI.

Here are the pics:

Hmm, want to trade for my 1995 Zetec? It is a manual, it is green, and it only has 69,000 miles, so you will be coming out ahead by 1,000 miles... C'mon, say yes :laugh:

Very clean car you have there BTW

Well, I think I will pass on that one.

I forgot to mention the other mod that wil be coming... a oem spoiler.

Thanks for all the compliments!

yuck.
car looks great as-is, don't add a a spoiler.

seriously, buy new headlights from the dealer. 180$ for both of them. I couldn't be more happier.

agreed, its amazing what they can do

take the money you were going to waste on the wing and buy new headlights.
i want a green one

Very Clean. I agree with buying headlights instead of a spoiler.

Nice car. the green SVT's are gorgeous.

I agree with the general consensus. An OEM spoiler will spoil the clean looks of your car. Don't do it.

 

[1999contour]

New headlights will probly be in the plans... but can't afford them right now.

As far as the spoiler goes... I have always really liked the svt's with the stock spoiler.... but we shall see how i adjust to the spoilerless car.

Car looks very clean. What are your plans for it in any?

Give a ring up to Steve at Tousley Ford at 800-328-9552 for any Ford parts you may need. He can get you a great deal on the headlights, and I'd ask about the spoiler as well. The spoiler completes the look on these cars -- takes the plain jane element away.

Read his first and third post! :blackeye:

Wait why does he need new headlights? He didnt mention a crack or anything damaged.

 

[1999contour]

The headlights are "foggy/Faded" so for now I am going to wetsand/buff and see where that takes me then if I am not happy with the results I will buy new ones.

Here is basically what I would do... this is from the grand am forums that I also browse:

you wont be happy w/the results. maybe for about a week. i've done more sets of headlights than i care to remember. they'll all eventually fade over again.
