Added WW Spoiler today

There are shades of the same stock colors!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe thats what happened with my side skirts, they came out more yellow than my car's paint. The bumper valence came out perfectly matched, which was the first paint I bought, the skirts were a paint I bought weeks later.

How do you know your shade of paint?
 
How about for black??

I think the shop did a good match on my bumpers but you can tell they were refinished.

I have no idea. My painter uses Sherwin Williams paint and when they painted it the first time it was so light I thought it was Silver Frost! He brought out a color card like any paint store has and we matched it from there. They had 5 variations of Silver Frost; all with different degrees of "darkness". Fortunately for me there is a Sherwin Williams (auto) paint store near me. That's from where my painter purchased the paint.

When I get the time I'll do a whole car shot.
 
As promised......

Looking nice, the WW spoiler is slowly growing on me..
You're car looks pewter where is can be gold/silver depending on the lighting. My s10 was pewter, I think it's an awesome color.. :cool:
 
Wow that looks great! How do you feel about the security of it with just the tape?


Also a drop will complete your LS!

Oh, yeah I get what you mean, I think that's more of just colors, not lincoln ls colors. It's like cadillac's white pearl vs lexus white pearl vs lincoln white pearl. I thought you meant each ls color had different shades of it.
 
Car looks great!

+1 on the drop, why aren't you lowered yet? You went from having sprints on your gen1 to stock springs on your 06?

It's actually Silver Birch. The color "shift" was the angle of the sun @ sunset.

I actually bolted down the main part as well as used the tape. It appeared the old tape was quite old, so I removed all the old tape and installed new. The new tape is so strong there is no way the side pieces are coming off!

That is what I meant. S-W has 5 shades of Lincoln/Ford Silver Birch.

I keep vacillating between lowering and not. I had such a hard time avoiding dragging over speed bumps and steep driveways that I'm not sure I want to do it. When my daughter was learning how to drive I knew my lowered LS (our oldest car) was going to be a problem. The ~2" drop was a little much for my uses anyway.

THANKS guys!

Yeah, the silver birch LS is a little weird that way. It's quite a sight though when the lighting is juuuust right and it looks silver with lots of metallic sparkles :cool:
