Yea this was when I first was putting it on...the lip is actually not for a lincoln so fitment was a hassle...

I like how it looks. It's got an aggressive appearance. Odd place for a picture tho. Almost as if you were symbolizing the production and aftermarket of the LS, Dead

Thanks ...and yea the graveyard is right around the block from my house so I figured why not..lol Just think about it this way, the ls symbolizes a beautiful vehicle and the graveyard symbolizes the other cars on the road who dont compare to the luxury of a Lincoln, so therefore their dead!

Posted by: 01LSVT

That looks great! What vehicle did that front lip come off of?

Mark

Posted by: JWerner2

I have been waiting for him to tell us that.

Do you plan on cleaning up the fitment a bit? IE. filling in the seam between it and the bumper maybe so it looks more natural.

Looks good but for some reason I would rather see that lip on a car thats alot lower.

Great work with the headlights!!!

Posted by: BlueLS

Info please, kind sir.

What lip?
What springs?

Posted by: Z'sLS

put some side pics up

Posted by: EmpireSix

secrets don't make friends

Posted by: Z'sLS

I think its the lip to the body kit that no one on here has. There are pics of it on here. In the pics the kit looks like its not on right.

Posted by: pektel

You mean this one?

Posted by: Z'sLS

yea thats the one. I think i might be wrong that one looks a lil biger

Posted by: rickztahone

Posted by: exceptionaLS

Posted by: jcharb

I'm pretty sure that front lip is the Spoon Sports style front lip off a civic,

Spooning leads to forking.

Posted by: jcharb

i'm only stating what is quite possibly the truth..... but it does look good though lol

Posted by: JWerner2

I doubt it is. It almost seems as if it is a bit big on the LS. Maybe a Honda sedan but not a Civic.

Posted by: wi812

Lmao this thread is nuts thanks for the love everyone... I will put more pics up tommorow

Posted by: cpgoodman

So your not going to spill the beans about the lip?

Posted by: pektel

Why put a Honda part on your lincoln?

Posted by: NYC LS8

Cause the ones made for a Lincoln suck?

Just guessing.

Posted by: pektel

I know. I was trying to heckle him a little so he'd say "it's not a honda part, its -------". I don't see why he's being greedy with the info.

Posted by: NYC LS8

We need pictures of the art of heckling.

Posted by: JWerner2

LMFAO!!!^^^

I honestly don't think he is holding out. I just think hes a bit slow.

Posted by: jcharb

So did anyone ever spill the beans about what kind of car this lip came from? I would still like to know

Posted by: jumpman6235

why? its not even that nice.. the gap in the middle kills it.... the Mach1 lip is better

Posted by: LEOV5

With a little work that would look real good. Now about that being a Honda part. It's only a Honda part when it's on a Honda. lol!!!

Posted by: JWerner2

That Mach 1 lip is not better.

I still dont think its a Honda lip. I am sure its that JT Evo lip.

Posted by: getyourgwapup

nope its not.. that car belongs to by best friend.. its from a 99-00 Honda civic si front lip buddy's.. have fun.

Posted by: lincoln00

holy

I thought he was trying to sell it... no luck, huh?

Anyways, here's a guy who actually installed that lip properly:

Oh, and in the linked thread, he says which lip it is.

http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=44046

Posted by: JWerner2

I asked L.LS about his, he said it was a Civic lip also but he later said it was made by him.

On the witch one is better topic. It is a visual preference but I would still like something more beefy than just a think black piece of vinyl that does not fit properly.

Posted by: lincoln00

where is it not fitting properly... I must be missing something?

Posted by: pektel

I don't think he completely made it from scratch. He had to modify the lip to fit the front of the LS. And he molded it to remove the seam. He did a great job on the lip, I think he just needs some side skirts and a rear lip so it all matches.

I agree, regardless it looks good but in a completely different thread than that one he said he made it himself.

Take a good look at them. I found two so far that looked good,.. NHLSV8 and someone else I don't remember. If you look they wave or bend all in different ways or they just don't line up,..etc,..etc.

I give credit to those that are trying them anyway!

Posted by: lincoln00

so its already the proper length, its just figuring out a way to mount it?

it doesn't have to be molded in my opinion...

Posted by: JWerner2

Have you been referring to the Mach 1 lip or this one?

Posted by: lincoln00

no the civic SI... the first picture in this thread

My mistake.

FYI, I have seen the JT Evo lip which is a more direct fit that the Civic one on sale. They might cost more but the shipping is less and adds up evenly. They are making a killing on shipping for that Civic Lip.

I forget what the site was but I can track it down and PM you the link.

I also wouldn't just leave it bare. They are two different materials and the lip will eventually get destroyed by weathering.

Posted by: lincoln00

yea if you can pm that would be great.... on the lip i might paint it body color or just a semi or flat black

Posted by: JWerner2

Dont some spray on truck bed lining have the same texture?

I'll get on that link soon,.... I'll book mark it once I find it so I can make sure to get it to you.

this one

Posted by: JWerner2

No sorry. The company is called JT Auto something and they have a kit for the LS called the EVO kit. The poster car is disgusting and does not flatter the kit at all what so ever but I have seen the actual kit before and it really looks good! The entire kit looks very nice IMO especially the rear end.

Posted by: pektel

Here's the link:

Posted by: jcharb

IMO when done right, this lip would look alot better than the mach 1 lip any day and i'm sure you can get it at some vendor at any car show that sells this stuff which might save on shipping.

Posted by: lincoln00

I really dont like that JT auto kit. that lip looks out of place

Posted by: JWerner2

The lip looks the exact same.
