thanks ivory i just saw them and liked them when i saw the mounting and levels for them aiming them should be a piece of cake i wasnt worried about pullung off the retrofit i was just worried about me dicking up the aiming points or cut off line from too much bass

i spent today wacking on my grille and head lights i forgot my sd card in the computer today so sorry no pics but i did get the "j30" lenses and things mated to my remaining jdm 2pc left side head.

i made inserts for te grille out of some other grille that was laying around just to have something in there. my G does look crazy to say the least.but come november 13 i will have her all shined up and lower than ever lol

i had been saying that my car looked way to agressive and i wanted to change it up a little. i think the lincoln front end changed the way she looks all together she is about 2 inches shallower than stock. the lincoln was about a half inch shorter than the galants so that was a challenge

I like it, not being sarcastic or anything like that.
if you get it to work this would be on par like that red 8g w/ beemer front end in south america.

hey man if i hustle HARD i MAYYY be able to make it with fresh paint buffed and cut and all four rims. back on. but my projector 2pc jdm heads? and air ride? i dont think they will make it in time lol

im going to have to redoe the whole front suspension i hope my axles can take the new strain but im tired of people hollering about i need more negative camber in front.... thats all im going to say....i have something for yawl that will debut @ import face-off

ok everyone the grille is just zip tied in rite now as i work on all pats of the car @ the same time and the headlights are just setting there . so the front end is just there and not fine tuned lol

If you can't find the chrome strip, you might need to get it from a lincoln dealership. Might be less than you think.
10-09-2011, 11:10 AM

I'd fill in those spots, the strips don't look quite right IMO

THIS.

Lincoln LS's are very common, a Ford dealer is bound to easily get a set for you.

Also, those facelift fogs, I'd integrate them with the LS bumper, the courtesy lights in those would work well, IMO, since the signal courtesy lights is a very Lincoln trademark. Would work well with the luxury theme.

i seriously thinking about the turn signals but they are from a different bumper than i have pluss the fitment TO ME is a lil bit off to me maybe version 2 will look better and i may add them in

I like how the bumper is flowing, not feeling the fins in the grille though. The JDM 2-piece heads and old style optional grille would flow perfect on here.
Is the bumper sitting higher on the Passenger side than the driver side?
I have to disagree with you Skyforger about the fogs. I think it'll look good enough with the OEM fogs. The facelift fogs dont look like they'll flow well.
10-09-2011, 03:25 PM
Skyforger

I'd still include courtesy lights, for the sake of using a Lincoln bumper. Plus, they're extremely useful at night.

i havnt really tightened anything down yet in its place so i still have plenty of space to adjust off of
butmore about this grille i started cutting on it with the plan of putting two horizontal = lines in it and have it recromed but then i saw that it wasnt as easy as i thought it would be and i would be blowing more money buying bumpers and things only to cut up but if i could afford a CAD machine oh man i would be set for life

lol its all good man lol

its my thread what they gone do delete it because i type to much :icon_lol:
but no i wasnt going to make them chrome i was going to color match them but they would still have their own grove to set in and they also bring out the depth in the bumper so i have to have them now

Floor mats are sick, but I would definitely have to save them for sunny days and car show meets only lol. The thought have them getting wet and dirty is like nails on chalk board...cringe lol. Like how things are turning out with the bumper...keep it up.
