Any tips on getting the emblem off without mangleing it or the grille? I tried a small trim puller thing but wasn't very successful.

I made a video on how to remove the emblem from the grille without damaging either. But I can’t post here with my iPad. Are you on Facebook? If so, are you a member of any of the Lincoln LS Facebook pages?

Hey Rollin! On your torque convertor, did you replace with a stock unit or a higher stall?

Awesome, thanks. The tape is a key thing I wouldn't have thought about.

Stock. I wanted a higher stall. They said they could get one for the LS.

Got the wood grain painted Silver Birch. Swapped out the rear headrest with front headrest.

Installed Gen 1 LSE side skirts on my 2003. They are Silver Frost. Need to be painted. Wanted to get them on the car.

RollinLS you have one of the most beautiful LS's I have ever seen. You did a hell of a job making it look perfect.
