Hey Ken..is LSKONCEPTS..

[lseguy]

beginning to phase out LS parts/accessories?
I was browsing the site last night, and noticed the all of the LSE body kits are long gone, and the various colored LS emblems you used to have, no longer are offered? Im fine parts wise now, but just wondering in case I need a replacement emblem later on or something like that.

Ron,

We will continue to have Lincoln LS parts as long as there is a demand for them. I don't have any intention to ever stop selling Lincoln LS parts. As for the LSE body kits, the 2000-2002 LSE body kit is no longer available from Autolign Manufacturing. They went out of business in April of this year. It is damn near impossible to find any 2002 LSE replacement parts through Ford. So, basically those are going to be very rare parts to find soon.

We still have the colored aftermarket emblems available. You can find them here:

We will be redesigning the website soon to offer a more up to date look as well as more Luxury Sedan parts for Lexus, BMW and so on. We will expand the site to add a chat line. There is another surprise in store for LS Koncepts that I'm not going to go into but it will be a nice addition to the site.

We are working hard to add more new products and have unique items as well. We are not going anywhere!

They are getting harder to find. I did talk with the sales manager at Razzi though. We discussed some options on the LSE kit but nothing definite. We talked at great lengths about no available body kits for the 03+ LS's. We might be able to get something going with these guys if there is enough interest. Making molds for those are expensive and we are trying to figure out a way to pay for the molds and still sell the kits at a decent price.

Also, Magnaflow came down HARD on anyone selling their systems this week. We got a nice email from them today stating we did not meet their minimum advertised price (MAP). So, we had to adjust our advertised prices. However, we can sell the kits at any price we want but they can not be advertised below the internet MAP. I guess it levels the playing field for everyone. So, if you need a Magnaflow kit from us they are the same price as before. However, we just adjusted the shipping costs. Here is there lovely email they sent out to all Magnaflow dealers selling below MAP's:

Hmmmm..... Couldn't you get around this policy by simply not advertising a price. Instead of advertising a price, just put "Call for Price".

That is what most do. We will be doing the same thing by manipulating the cart software on our website. However, until we get the code fixed I have just adjusted the price to reflect MAP policies.

We do ship to Canada on a case by case basis. If you need something email me and we can discuss.
