Does anybody know who did this MOD? They made this LS look like the front of a Pontiac G8. I would like to have it done to my Red LS. Thanks.

I think so. Love my LS but just want to give it a different look from the many LS around me.
 
Honestly, It doesn't look impossible to do. Someone has the skill to do it I'm sure. Anybody know of a body shop that can do this MOD?
 
Probably won't be your typical body shop. Someone who works exclusively with plastics. Unless you cut and fiberglass it in.
 
Photoshop or not it doesn't look all that hard to do. I test drove a G8 GXP back in 2009 and it was a fantastic car! The salesman was a pretty cool guy too, I wasn't trying to push it that hard, but he was like "common lay into her!" I did just that and wow that thing hauled ass! Another car I wish I bought, but I could just imagine how expensive it is to maintain one.

It wouldn't be nearly as expensive as the LS, since the drivetrain is a standard GM LS setup, and they use as many common parts to other platforms as they can. Car-specific stuff is going to be limited mostly to interior and body parts. Plus, GM uses plastics in their cooling system that can handle being part of the cooling system and uses a thermostat that is a complete self-contained metal piece instead of a thermostat that uses a plastic housing to hold spring pressure. If Ford were smart, they would design the next Lincoln LS to use the same driveline, suspension and basic body inner frame parts as the Mustang to keep costs down. So long as the body lines don't look identical to the Mustang, Joe Customer wouldn't know they were driving a Mustang with a Lincoln body on it.
 
I agree, lincoln needs to get back like they used to have the mustang, a thunderbird, and a lincoln version of a similar car! its a shame Ford/Lincoln removed the mustang drive line from the LS/thunderbird platform...


I dont care how many doors or on it, I would be totally down with a RWD coyote Lincoln even if it looked like a MKS!
 
Guys... I could build this bumper for anyone who is interested. ..I could graft a g8 lower onto an ls upper add some stainless mesh...As well as do the headlight mods..and build the painted with mesh grilles... or... basically any other bumper combination... I can put a price together with just a little info...do you have a usable ls bumper. ..what style bumper do you want added..do you want it finished and ready to paint...or painted to match your car...?... and keep in mind...shipping will run close to $ 150 each way
