I hope you find a reputable painter. They are hard to find in some areas. There is a member on LLSOC that has figured out how to retrofit the 2003 and up headlights to the 2000-2002 LS's. It's a $150 mounting bracket that Lincoln sells. You have to remove the front bumper, cut out the old mounting bracket and bolt in the new one. After that the 2003 and up headlights will work. This is good news if you want to add the OEM HID headlight kit. I'm currently working the Angel Eye Kit for the 2003 headlights. I may not have those completed until late winter. I have other things going on at my REAL job.
The supplier I get the emblems from is working on the center cap emblems. He's been slow to go on those but I'll buzz him up this week and see where he's at with those.
