Oh man what a bummer, there was a Paint Code JP V6 in the U-Pull-it yard nearest to me couple weeks ago.
when I went to go get some fresh door handles for my wife's Alero, I was also send there by M4rk to grab some pieces off of it and it was gone.
Asking about it, they said they only keep them for 2mths then get rid of them.
Of course I tried to explain that it was a Lincoln LS and there were still plenty of parts on it but they didn't seem to care.
Too bad, as I was still trying to get more off of it, don't recall seeing if the mirrors were folding type.

There is a V6 at this place with folding mirrors, but they will not send me pics

RollinLS has one he is saving for me but I accidentally purchased the same side. I think its the drivers side. Finding a set in silver birch is going to be difficult, trust me. Mine is silver birch too and I looked everywhere, nothing. You will prob have to paint them. You can buy the one from RollinLS and then find the other on ebay. I got one for $40 and one for $55 on ebay.
I've found them on ebay but they want like $125 a piece (min)... not sure it's worth that to me. But I'm pretty obsessive/compulsive when It comes to that kind of stuff. Once I have my mind made up on something I want, I'll probably pay just about anything :shifty::shifty:

RollinLS would probly let the one he has go for close to half that. Then you are half way there!

I PM'd him... Thanks
As an '03 it must be silver birch.
I tried calling, but no answer
Always hard to tell with some pictures, but almost looks Light Tundra Clearcoat Metallic
Or pewter......
I might be interested in those although it also doesn't look to be birch.
FYI - He wants $250 for both and he doesn't know the color code at this time

says paint code "JP"
I got this one for a "good" deal. Its your if it matches and you want it. Its silver. Not sure if it is silver birch or silver frost. Nothing to compare it to. Its in EXCELLENT condition.
BTW Ingore the date. I had just swapped out the batteries and didn't mess with setting the date.

It would have to be silver birch as it was a new-for-'03 color.
Bare with me then. Its a gen 2 mirror. So its '03-'06. Silver Birch was used in those years. Not Silver Frost? I am understanding you currectly?
Could also be a 2003 Light Tundra as that was a light grey.
04-06 Light Tundra was more of a green color I believe
Here's what I was looking at - http://www.autobytel.com/lincoln/ls/2003/color/
(Can change all the years and check color options)
Affirmative. I have both and the birch seems to have a little more gold and black than the frost.

Am I confused or are you saying silver birch was not used untill 03? If so that is not accurate because my 02 is silver birch.
REALLY???? I understood it was a 2003+ color. So was 2002 the colour change?
