Im a newb and need help!!!!

[hristianJS]

well, the last thread a posted is gone so ill do cliff notes:

im new
my girlfriend wrecked my LS
it looks like it needs a new grill bumper and headlights(s)
any suggestions for any of this in aftermarket?
2004 LSE, 61k miles V-8


picture is before the wreck, but even after i was ver impressed with the car. It is perfectly drivable, the SUV she hit, needed to be towed

 

[1LoudLS]

not really a whole lot of aftermarket parts are available for this car, welcome and sorry your start here has to be with such bad luck

 

[hristianJS]

Also, my user name should be "ChristianJS", not "hristianJS" if someone could fix that.

Also i have noticed there is not a lot of aftermarket for these cars but i still want it to look good.
like the grill, i want to get a black one, plan on powder coating the stock rims black, tint of course.

any suggestions?

what about this chip? http://www.gforcechips.com/lincolnls.aspx

anyone heard of it?

thats why ya never let the women drive the ls

 

[1LoudLS]

why not just let the insurance take care of it

I'm selling some headlights!

 

[bearsfan39]

well most people upgrade to the bumper and grille you have

 

[n8bachelor]

OMG you CAN'T paint your factory gen2 LSE wheels! They are rare and too beautiful to paint.

Your car may have had the best of what's available for the LS: LSE grill, LSE bumper... did you have factory HID's? If not, get them and just replace what you have.

That is one nice looking LSE. (except for the stripe)

 

[LeaSr77]

Go to www.tascaparts.com. You can get the bumper and components for a little over $500 dollars. Check around on ebay for the bumper too. But check Tasca for parts. They are cheaper than any other online dealer that I've seen.

 

[bearsfan39]

i called tasca and the guy in parts didn't have any idea what i was talking about, put me on hold for like 5 minutes and then hung up on me

 

[n8bachelor]

Let's see a shot of the damage.... please.

I hope you don't need fenders too.

 

[Alax7]

That chip doesn't work. Get an SCT tuner device and a custom tune or dyno tune that will get you real results and not damage your car.

I think the wheels would look great powder coated, I have the HIDs,

Thats what i was thinking.

She T-boned a small SUV, Hit it hard enough to make to where they couldnt drive it away, had to be towed.

 

[bearsfan39]

so what exactly is wrong with the headlights?

 

[M4rk]

Good luck. Might as well pay a visit to your dealer.

Also, those don't look like OEM HIDs.

 

[FASTLLS]

If you had full insurance on it, I would just let the body shop deal with it.

Hopefully that dodge has the Hemi in it..

they are scratched with the other cars paint, Ins will want a new one

They may not be, but they look good so my fiance (whos car it is) doesnt care about the HIDs, truthfully, not a real big fan of spending that much money on lights.

Of course, sonofab!tch is pretty fast for a 1/2 ton truck. Its faster than the LS ;-)

 

[FASTLLS]

My friend has a 2004 Dodge 2wd SLT with the HEMI. Dual exhaust and use to have 22s then he bent one.. I think he has 20s now.. Lowered and all black with chrome wheels.. It friken moves..

If its faster than the LS, it cant be by much. A few basic things on the LS and it would move damn fast. Just my .02 but we never raced so I don't know what the outcome would have been..

 

[Alax7]

Why do you need new headlights over a few scratches? Wetsand to like new condition, unless you really want to drop a pretty penny for new ones

 

[dNyce LS]

can i get the old parts after it gets fixed lol.

What this guy said... Your car looks pretty good already - just restore it.

And yes, I hope that wreck whipped that awful pinstripe off.




Also, where is "Bryan"?

 

[Bullschmidt]

I have a suggestion. You give that chrome bumper trim piece to andrizzle. He could use a new one
