I've been bored and lookin' at other LS pics and noticed that I don't have this on my car. It seems to be a cover of the bumper reinforcement. Does everyone have this on their LS? What's it called? Anyone with a part # and/or a price? I know it doesn't serve a purpose, but I feel like my LS isn't complete without it. Thanks.

ya its just like a cover... you gotta take it off to get into your headlights, every LS should have it... i dunno a part # or anything tho

Mine has it too, I agree all should have it.

Thought so. Now I have to find out how to get one. Thanks for the replies.

just go to a junk yard. pick one off

why don't you just go to the local linc dealer?

yea, get it from the dealer, I dont think that it's gonna be expensive..

Guess I'm goin' to the dealer on Friday. Thanks everyone.

its a tough car to find in the junkyard

Talk to Maxx at five star ford. Hes on the LVC Sponsors links on the right...

If you don't have the cover piece, what is holding the temperature sensor (that's the bullet-like thing to the left of the hood latch in your photo)?

The sensor snaps into a hole in the piece you're missing.

Did you try Team Ford Parts:

Drill down in collision parts to:

Front bumper , Bumper and components ,Cover molding

It might be that?

I checked teamfordparts and nothing looked like the correct piece. And as for my temp sensor, the dealer who I bought the car from has it rigged on the actual metal bumper that should be underneath the cover. I have had my car less than a year and didn't think there was anything missing until yesterday.

I covered mine with the carbon fiber material from LSKoncepts I think it looks good.

Well that's a Mickey Mouse set-up if ever I heard one! Get the right part and install the temp sensor the way it is shown in the photo you posted.

has it been wrecked?

Not according to my carfax report. It did come with a newer headlight on the one side, so I'm thinking they took it off and didn't replace it or broke it and didn't want to put a new one on it. I am gonna head to the dealer tomorrow to get one if the price is reasonable.

Went to the dealer yesterday. They had a lot of trouble finding the part on their schematics, but after about 4 hours they called me and said they found it. It should be in on Tuesday. It ran about $12. I just wanted to say thanks for all the help and responses.

$12, wow.
