So I bought this 2003 LS V8 Premium Sport from the dealer a few months ago. The dealer told me that the wheels and bodykit were part of a special "LSC" package from Lincoln, only offered in the 2003 model year. After doing some research, I realized that this was BS.

From what I can tell, I have:

Aftermarket Tint
Bodykit with spoiler
Platinum Ultra 18" wheels
HID
Clear Corners (?)

For you LS experts, does anything else look out of place about this car? I'm trying to figure out exactly what the previous owner did to it.

Ive never seen a gold LS like that or is that the sun. You have some sort of kit looks like the wings west kit with aftermarket wheels.
 
It's not gold. I was just screwing around with the lighting in photoshop.

The spoiler doesn't quite match the paint color of the car. It's a little lighter. I wonder how much it would cost to color-match or if I should just pull the thing off.

Don't take it off!! The wing west spoiler is cool. Maybe take it off to color match it.....but by all means press on, they are not all that common and look good.....
 
Take it off to get painted. will save you $$, i personally hate the WW kits on the LS UNLESS its lowered on a black car.

Also i think your taillights were swapped. I dont think they went two toned till 05 i could be wrong.

The only other thing i can see is your trim appears to have been painted unless it comes that way.
 
Yea, I have seen few 03s with those kits on. The lower body work doesn't look bad at all, but I would get that spoiler the hell out of that car. The rest looks good to me.

that spoiler looks nice when the cars is dumped to the ground...and black.
 
I've never liked the WW spoiler just because it hangs over the side of the car. It would look pretty cool if it didn't do that. I like the front bumper. It looks like it has a lip or something. Very nice.

The taillights went two-tone in '03. Of the 2nd Gen LSes, only the '04-'05 LSEs have all-red taillights.

The body kit is covering the parts of the trim that should be black.
 
looks like the molding around the side windows is blacked out, don't waste your money repainting that spoiler just let it collect dust in the garage. your car looks good too regardless of the spoiler
 
Car looks great, the 03+ Silver is VERY hard to match. There are 4 variations of it from the factory. Your best bet is to get the parts repainted by a Ford body shop. Even if you look at a brand new 06 LS on the showroom floor, the lower moldings do not 100% match the upper half of the car.

Looks great thought, lower it now and your pretty much set.
 
Looking at the pics again they did an HORRIBLE job on the colormatching. Repaint the entire kit.

The color difference isn't noticeable except on the spoiler. It just looks that way on the first picture because I was screwing around with the contrast and colors in photoshop.

So the consensus is that I should get it lowered, and I'm getting mixed reviews on the spoiler. I might try to swap the wheels as well, they're just not my style.
 
Good idea about the wheels too man.

i have an 03 premium sport, its loaded and i mean loaded since it was bought for the owner of the dealership but some woman snagged it before he took delivery i got it used, your car looks exactly like mine except i think mine has the tri color, that off white color, your car looks exactly like mine in every way
 
I want that spoiler, would buy it today if I knew where. You guys said Wings West? I going to search it right now. Been looking for one. Anyone have one for sale? Car looks very nice in my opinion. Nice, clean and sporty. Lower it and change the wheels. Go with a sport wheel. Silver Lss look great with silver wheels.
 
I'm pretty sure I've seen it on LSKoncepts... shoot Ken a PM... I think he carrys it
 
ww spoiler is the ONLY way to go! ditch those wheels and get some newer stock 17s and that baby will look bad!
