Wow. I like the wheels, the tint, the mufflers, and the super clear headlights. Very nice ride. What kind of rims are those? And are those the Assassin mufflers?

The wheels are made by Ace Alloy Wheels and they are called Rage.

The mufflers are the LMS XpansionX I.

Just keeps getting better! Now I can't think of anything you have left to modify. Where"d you get the HID"s from? Does your car NOT have holes in the bumper where the front license plate bracket should be?

I got the HID's from a guy on another board. He had purchased them to put on his car but he wrecked it before he could install them. They were the Ford HID kit for the '96 LSC. Came with ballasts, housings and bulbs.

The bumper has the dimples for one but I guess the previous owneres never installed the bracket. Does Florida require front plates?

:L :wrench

Florida doesn't require front tags, but mine still had the plate bracket. I just took it off the other day, looks so much better without it. Nice job on finding a 'deal' on the HID's, although I'm sure they were still a pretty penny. You're in Alabama right? Planning a trip to Central Florida any time soon?

:eek: No, don't think so. That is quite a drive for me. I live in Montgomery, AL.

I agree that it would look better, but a new bumper and paint is not in the budget right now, and I don't think cutting notches in the bumper would look very good at all. Maybe later. Unless someone has a DK code '95 bumper they would swap with me. :biggrin: :biggrin:

I removed the silencer, drilled the airbox, K&N panel filter, removed the dangly bits from the intake tube, added Nology Hotwires.

The car looks great, I haven't seen too many Mark VIII's with that color. The tint really sets off the color and the rims of course.

They only had that color in '94 and '95.

It is very nice. When you are at highway speeds it is muted, but when you you stomp on it you can hear it.

cutting the cutouts on the bumper would not look bad...alot of the tbird guys have done it and a few mark's have it.....

Sorry, I thought I put that on there. I have the double XX-pipe and 2 1/2 pipe throughout with true duals. I took that picture of the QX4 system to the shop as a guide.

How do you fill in the hole so you can't see the bumper reinforcement up in there?

You will not see anyting at all. The 94.5-96's have it, you cannot see anything on them.

If you cut the bumper you will have a hole. The 94.5-96's have plastic in the cutout that is molded curved upward to fill the hole.

What do you consider a 94.5, cause mine was made in 6/94 and does not have the cut outs... :{

Cut the plastic too. Any body shop can perform this.

Typically 94.5 through 96 have the cutouts. My Uncle Ray's green 94 was also built in 6/94 ad has the cutouts. It was a mid year thing.

what size rims are those? Very nice Mark. The only other thing i could say for the exterior is paint the chrome trim.

Mine was built in august 1993 and I do not have the cut outs, is there any one here who can read VIN's and tell me what # mine is for the model year of 94?
