I've been wanting to do this for a long time. I got them from Ken last week. Here's some before and after pics.




 
Mucho better! I like the mesh you have behind the upper and lower grilles.
 
wow! I fv<king love that. how did you do the grill?
 
how did u do the mesh grill?

how did u do the chrome on the bottom grill? they look like stick ons but i want to know
 
Thanks guys.

I did the grill with some aluminum mesh I bought off ebay. I took the grill off and cut it to fit. The bottom chrome is some adhesive chrome trim. It was real hard finding the thin chrome strips, but I got em.

This is my car with the retrofit and the retrofited Mach-1 Chin Spoiler
 
Thanks It required a 2 day work i cant remember since i did it with my best friend
 
that mesh behind the grill looks hott, im gonna have to try that cause i see the little lift latch behind my grill and its annoying..
 
Venom-Linc: Do the 03+ fogs give you more room for the lower grill? Basically, are they a little less wide than the 00-02 ones? The reason I ask is this, I have a two-piece chrome grill set shown here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-05-LINCOLN-LS-2-PIECE-VERTICAL-Z-GRILLE-GRILL_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33645QQitemZ8052525142QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW#ebayphotohosting. The bottom grill is VERY tight. So tight that it forces one of my fogs to pop out a little bit. I can remedy this simply by bending the grill a little bit but if the 03+ fogs are smaller it will save me some work cuz I'm buying the 03+ fogs soon anyways. Thanks in advance.

aserrano: What kind of suspension/springs you got on that thing? Looks like the rear is quite a bit higher than the front. Looks slick.

The housing is supposedly the same but I think the new ones are a little smaller. When I was test fitting them, there was a certain way I could mount them that left a slight gap between the bumper and light. It seems to me it could help you a lot if you mess around with the way you mount it. It definately won't be tighter.
 
I have Eibach I dont know why the car looks that way compared to others but i like it that way
