    Exhaust - What to get?

    I'm not running straight pipes per se, but had the 2 rear 'resonators' removed and replaced with straight pieces of pipe and then stock tips welded to them. Car is not super loud but has a good sound to it without being obnoxious. Even had a compliment from some guy at a gas station in a pick...

    98 base Chrome Plastic Grill

    Replating plastic chrome is nigh unto impossible due to process. I have had no luck even finding someone to remove plating on a plastic grille for my tbird. I wanted to paint it black and found out even soda blasting would damage it. I replaced my chrome grille on my black Mark 8 with a...

    need to restore the rims

    rims Just had my four factory (non chrome) 'snowflake' (lace) rims powdercoated gloss black. All had to be sandblasted due to clearcoat peeling which looked like major damage to surface. They came out looking like new and cost me $250 for all four plus center caps. Painting rims may last a...

    Help!! I'm freezing my tush off

    Hope it is just the lever and can be fixed. My heater quit blowing hot last month. Took it in & assumed it was the heater blend door but...NO! Seems the door on the heater box is broken. Got one from Carlos (racebronco2) and it will be installed after Thanksgiving as it won't make it here...

    Newbie looking for buying advice

    Rat, I recently bought a '98 (not LSC) with 70K miles, one owner, nice paint, good interior. Paid just under 5k. Put new tires, battery & compressor on it. It's black with ivory interior and I love it. I got a spare ballast for the taillights just in case. Found one under $100 on ebay...

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    Thank goodness breathing is automatic (so far) because I can't even do a photo gallery!! I have several pics posted on the LOD site and have pics of 'bird posted on TBN but sure can't get anything on here. I'll do a little research and see if I can't figure this out. Seems I need to downsize...

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    Got the back seat section of interior cleaned. Decided to wait until the rear window tint was done before I tackled this. Ivory interior is a pain but it came out really nice. Now it's on to the front seats/door panels. Wash day tomorrow and finish up the wax job. Already waxed the hood...

    Another newbie

    Hello, just found this site while searching for some decals. Just got my '98 Mark about a month ago and it's my first. Haven't put too many miles on it yet (am still waiting for a back order oem air suspension compressor due to arrive in a week or so--uh huh) but love it. It's black with...
