contour cougar

Well I think the Cougar fender will work just fine over the wheel and along part of the door. I think it'd need to be cut where it curves into the A-pillar. Then there would have to be modifications to the front. I mean, you could just use a Cougar hood, bumper, grille, etc, but I do LOVE the Mystique hoods!
 
its been done before. search the old forums,i can remember the pic very clearly,it was a dark green tour,not a svt,w/cougar headlights,fenders bumper,hood. bottom line,it looke like shizzle
 
im talking about the other way though. contour FRONT on a cougar BODY but im curious to see the cougar front on a contour

you guys make it sound like its alot of work and that the cars are radically different. seriously I'm pretty sure its just plug and play

im gonna have to go with you on this one. engine bays are identical. im sure the mounting holes for the fenders are the same. as far as the front bumper, headlights, and grille, i assume thats different and will need some modification (drilling holes in the core support and such)
 
nope,mounting holes are off,same as using post98 fenders on a pre98 body. the link on the old forums is dead,it went to blue oval news.
 
You are starting to sound a lot like your signature friend.

Worst photoshop ever...but here is my rendition.

Please reference the above for reasons why it is a bad idea to ever try the aforementioned modification.

IDK:shrug: not totally repulsive. Not saying I just love it, but I think it would grow on me.. I'm sure not gonna go pull the front end of my SVT and put a Cougar front on....
 
Isn't the Cougar wider than the Contour?

EDIT: Also, what's up with the sideskirts on that contour in the photoshop? They look like 2X4s.
