Some people may not like this but I got bored and had some paint...

I think it looks sharp.

wow...that picture uploaded crappy...it looks better than that in real life...I swear

What's the saying? Idle hands are the Devil's Playground? Ironic, red. Haha, Well you have red brake calipers, so at a show it would probably look good with the hood open. Not bad, is the real color a little deeper than how it looks?

Steve i think it looks good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the exact same color as the brake calipers. I don't know why it downloaded so poopy :(

It probably looks good then. Like someone else mentioned in another thread concerning a painted interior, try some clearcoat to give it a little more depth.

Looks good. Don't stop there. Go ahead with the hoses too. :wrench

That might be a little too much red IMHO. If I had a choice of the paint color it woulda been factory match white.

I wasn't going to clearcoat it until I was sure I wanted it to stay red. Once I make that decision I will do that though.

I actually thought about doing the coil-over covers...

The red gives it a good contrast!!!!

Go crazy and go with some marble vinyl.

Yeah, and then put the Lincoln emblem on them! Also, you need to get a KKM induction kit for that thing!!

I know Ken...I know...

I need the whole CAI/KKM/Magnaflow system.

looking good steve! very nice touch!

Thanks Joey

Here's mine I did a while back.

That looks real nice.

Freefaller, you sure that didn't happen when you were leaning on it for that LVC HOTTIE pic? Thanks hun! ;)

I wish. Woulda been alot easier :)

I dont get it.... Is it to impress the tow truck driver? Who really sees under the hood?

This could get me banned but here goes.

Have you actually contributed 1 single positive post to this board.

I went back and read the last dozen or so of your posts and came up with one single conclusion. You are nothing more than an opinionated [fellow] that feels the need to belittle everyone here unless they share your opinion on something.

Get a life bro! There are far better things to do than come to a car board to beat up on everything you don't like.

Funny how you bash on those who actually take the time and effort to work on their cars and make them something special while at the same time you can be quoted as saying "I have had my LS for 6 months and have only lifted the hood once".

Seems to me you are venting your frustrations on everyone here for your own shortcomings and lack of creativity.

I hate being called "Bro." lol

BTW Freefaller I didnt mean my post to be an insult. I think it looks damn good. Very nice job.

I just did mine too....I also noticed that when you load pictures here they dont look as good as they do in person I take pictures all day with my digital camera and when I post them they dont usally look as good

Didn't take it as one. Your free to express your opinion. As I stated in the first post... there are people who won't like it. The only thing that matters is that I like it and that I don't get laughed at regularly at intersections :biggrin:

Tyler, thanks for stickin up. Some LS owners would prefer to leave their cars as FLM designed them. Others like to mod them to fit their own personal style. What may be seen as "cool as hell" to one individual may be percieved as "rice" to another. But as long as there have been people willing to change their vehicles there have been others opposed to it...and I don't see that rivalry ending anytime soon.

With the white contrast from your paint you could paint it whatever color you want. If you REALLY want to go crazy, like I stated before, get some vinyl covering and get a nice dark gray marble pattern or brushed aluminum, I think it would look awesome.

I think it looks good. I was thinking that the engine compartment needed some contrast, as well. My LS is black on black. EVERYTHING is black!! What paint is it that you used? Is there enough "flex" in the paint? Did you do anything special to prep the surface?

I would paint the middle section white like surjax (his portion that is black) did, then go over it with a few clear coats.

Just a thought...

I used duplicolor adhesion promoter, about 3 coats, then laid the color, and finally some clear. With the promoter, you can use any higher heat paint.

Looks nice.

I would prefer to have a stainless look myself (like the stainless fuse and strut covers that Ken offers).
