Just installed LSE bumper w/Mclaren grill

[Rodewaryer]

So, this is a pretty common ho/hum mod to most on this forum but it's been in work a while for this kid. I just got this back from the body shop yesterday and it turned out FANTASTIC!!! The shop got the color matched better than the factory did on the stock parts and while I knew the bumper would look brilliant, I was surprised at how good the grill looks too.....

Before, the standard '05 LS front end (I never liked that bumper):

The LSE bumper and Mclaren grill:

Many thanks are due to Kevin at Autocolor and Steve at Tousley Ford for the best deal around on the bumper kit (!), and of course last but not least to LSKoncepts for the grill and emblem.

Huge difference when its a change like that, looks sick !

This is how every LS should look like.

dramatic change looks great

Looks really good. Now get the sides and rear done so it doesn't look low in the front.

Like a totally differnet car. Nice!

looks great

Wow! What a change. Looks awesome. Why does the color look so much whiter on your new pictures? Just lighting? I have the same color I think, and it's never looked that white.

That looks a hell alot better. How much did you pay for the bumber?

That is awesome. I love the LSE bumpers with McLaren grilles on white LSes and the fact that its a second gen,... those headlights just set things off!!


PM me if you want to part with the stocker grille and fogs.

You can tell the car is Cashmere in the first pic which was taken early in the morning on a fairly clear day, the shots with the new bumper were late afternoon and a huge storm was coming in. I wanted some pics straight away after picking the car up so I just dealt with the strange effect the lighting had. I'll have to get some better ones, can't have it looking white.....

Steve at Tousley Ford (1-800-328-9552) got me a kit price that ended up about $75 under a deal that was announced on a thread in this forum, then he shipped by bus for around half of what everyone on the same thread was quoting from other sources. I don't have the figures in front of me but I think Cathman can confirm it was a pretty good deal.
