I have a Lincoln ls 03 and im wanting to get the sports bumper added, which i thought would fit , but when i went to a local ford parts department. he ran my VIN number in the system and said it would not fit without a gap because
my ls was made a month before some of the later 2003 models. Can anyone please confirm that thx...

As long as you have 2003+ headlight assemblies (which you do) there will be no gap.

Yeah, that's bull. There would be a gap in you were interchanging gen 1 and 2 bumpers but never LSE/06 bumpers within generation. I too was looking at doing this mod and happened across a pretty cheap seller but I'm wondering if anyone has purchased from them before?

and these fog lights should fit but I'm not sure about the quality:

Thanks for the feedback Manoli. One last question if you dont mind since I know you did this mod fairly recently as well. What's a primered bumper run to get sprayed? I know it varies by shop and I havent called around yet but I'm ballparking 2-300?

I would say 250-300 sounds fair anything less than that would be probably a half assed job.

Check Tasca. I believe I paid ~$35 apiece + shipping.

Shred, I bought those lights when I did my conversion, They do not fit. I guess I shoudl say they don't directly bolt in,, I'm sure someone could make them work. I still have them in the box if you want me to take some pics with mneasurements. They do look good but I ended up with stockers and then ended up going with after market HID's

Oh cool. That'll save me some trouble I'm looking for a direct fit so I guess I'll look into Tasca.
 
While we're on a roll of asking questions that answers have already been given to, will the REAR bumper interchange between generations?
 
Thanks, guys. Yeah, I figured the trunk would have to change, too, especially since the lights are different and what not. I just think the genII rear end looks better. And by "with work" are we talking some serious fabbing or what?
