Snakebite Mod

[TDUB]

I'm now glad I didn't get the Cobrastars, the only thing I'd want Mark related in my LS is the engine. Actually I don't mind Marks. The older ones don't really do much for me but the 96 & 98 LSC and the Collector's Editions are good looking cars. Don't read this the wrong way but I kind of see the Mark as an old man's Mustang. It's a 2 door RWD V8 coupe but with all the amenities of a luxury car.

hey tru, i have a suggestion.
if you really want to make it look like you somehow got an upgraded LS, here's the route i think you should take.
First, imo, the way you positioned your side emblems under the side barrier(lol i have no idea what it is called), just looks way off. if i drove right beside you, i could immediately tell that you did that yourself.
*Take a look at the LSOTM and see the way Pektel And Lincoln Luebbe put theirs on Above the barrier. It sits well with both cars. And im pretty sure most cars do it this way. Like the fox body(99-04) Mustangs. The Pony or GT badge sits around the same area. Try it Tru!

I think the back of the LS looks all jumbled up on the right side. What you could try to do is on the left side, possibly put a decal or maybe an LVC emblem(If there is one) above LINCOLN. it would definitely look proportional after that. Or if that's not your taste, please do this for the next two suggestions. Go out and buy Red Lincoln Emblems! They will compliment the Red Cobrastars very well. You would put on the front grille and the back rear surround.

*what i think would be a cool mod is if you incorporated the rear cobrastar into the rear surround somehow. that would be a nice project! heck lol order another cobrastar and see if you can put it on the front side of the grille! but yeah try to move the sides tho! its bugging me a little!

The 93-96 look alike.
And the 97-98 have the baleen whale grill.
Unless you're only interested in the monochromatic trim..

Faboling, thanks for the reply and I like your suggestions. I actually did think about putting the fender emblems above the trim pieces like Pek's V8 emblems. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it might stick out too much in regard to someone looking at the car. However, I'm not dead-set on leaving them where they are. They still may end up where you suggested.

On the trunk, I'm going to pull the Lincoln and LS V8 emblems, and then move the cobrastar down a little bit more on the right side. That should clean things up a bit more.

I do have one more cobrastar emblem to play with. The original idea was to put it on the far right side of the trim piece above the glove box, but the trim piece isn't wide enough. Plan B was going to put it on the lower fascia grill, but the wife thought it might be emblem overkill (heck, almost everyone here agrees that one emblem is overkill).

I'm liking the idea of red lincoln emblems - any idea of where I can track those down? Would that be LSKoncepts?

Thanks again for the feedback and suggestions - MUCH APPRECIATED!

TRU
