Yes, I know it's a fairly cheesy title, and you're probably going to think it's a fairly cheesy mod. Also, I'm not really the first one to do it, but maybe to do it to this extent.

My goal was to try and make my baby look unique and/or special, but in a way that someone might think it came from the factory that way - like a special edition of the LS. I don't know if it came out looking that way, but I really like it. It will look much better when I get the Eibachs on (they came today), tinting, and some better wheels.

Anyway, here's pics of what I did. Feel free to tell me it looks stupid or lame if you think it does - although I'm pretty happy that it turned out the way I hoped it would.

If you want to get "bitten," send OneBadMk8 (Geno) a PM and he can get you some venom.

that looks pretty good man. the only reason i dont like it is because im not one for badging on my cars but the custom work looks nice.
 
doesnt look bad, i think putting them in diffrent places would be better and probably take the one off the back, there is already a lincoln sign back there, no need for another one IMO. i was thinking maybe if you relocate the ones on the sides to the space between the rear windshield and the back windows.
but i dont know.

btw, you got a beautiful car, i love a white LS
 
now make it real, a nice 4.6 dohc motor to go with the emblems seems like the next logical mod:D car looks sharp btw
 
Badges look good, but I would move them above the trim strip. Great looking car! I have a black version!!
 
why do you guys think he's the first to put the cobrastar on an LS? I'd like to see all other cobrastar LS's raise your hands right now. Hell evem mine has them (did it after detailing my car) on the fenders and if you do'nt believe I bought them just ask ONEBADMK8 :P I'm trying to get him to make LVC shirts you can look good in to the bars,clubs, or meets.....
 
whether or not hes the first doesnt :q:q:q:qing matter he wanted to know what we thought of it on his car... he and no one else said wow thats a cool mod ive never seen....
 
I'm just puzzled why he thought he was the first. It is nice but I would also remove the LINCOLN and LS off the rear and keep the cobrastar. Look nice on the fenders too. I'm just stating an error in his judgement...
 
i dont think the car looks aggressive enough in stock form so it doesnt work for me. especially with all the other emblems on it still. now mod the car, get aggresive, put a nitrous purge coming out of the cobra mouth and then it will be cool
 
The car itself is a beauty, but i personally don't like emblems on there. As long as you like it, thats all that matters.
 
...I like emblems, I just don't understand why LS guys are interested in putting the Cobra-stars on their car. The MarkVIIIs have the engine association, I can understand that. But the 3.9V8?

Maybe someone could sketch out a Jaguar-Star or something?

I dont get it either. I guess you can say it more represents LMS than anything but Geno still dont have much for the LS if anything. I think just mufflers that will fit like universals.

Its just the same with the Jag, nothing but myths. It dont have THAT much in common with it either.

And now I learned that at some point even the chassis which shared the most in common was still switched up a bit before the 2nd Gen LS was made.

I dunno, x2 - most of the people I see driving Diamantes / Galants are pretty old... :p

I was behind a LS the other day and my fathers exact words "I really like those Mitsubishis. How much can I get a Galant like that for?" :lol:
I told him it was a Lincoln and he refused to believe me. He still wants one though. :D
 
yur dad must drive a Mutsubishi town car right? I mean only our headlights look like Mitsubishi

There's no accounting for taste...
otherwise you wouldn't have bought that Lincoln diamante.... I mean gallant.. I mean 3 series.. I mean LS.

But's it's always funny when guys who drive a four door sedan that was predominantly sold with a six cylinder engine, and later only had a 3.9 liter V8, say that forward thinking, 2 door luxury sports coupe, with better identifiable styling, more horsepower and better performance, is for "old guys."

Our cars look nothing like a f*cking Mitsubishi man!


I honestly dont see any resemblance and I previously owned a Galant!
