These don't really fit on the 2006 LS Sport (3.9L V8).
The right side fits OK and I could kind-of, sort-of get the left side fastened on where it would stay (the fastener hole on the cover doesn't quite match up with the hole in the engine well), but the hood won't close. Probably the reason Lincoln didn't put them on the car. The hood has a thick layer of sound-deadening foam and just doesn't leave enough clearance where the boxy part of the LH cover is.
It's a shame, cause they look great in there and I was really tickled until I tried to close the hood. :) I think what I really need are 2 RH covers, cause I think the RH one would fit on the LH side.
I'm trying to decide if I want to try to shave some plastic off the cover and foam off the hood to make room for it, or just post the covers for sale.
