LSE Chrome Grille Conversion (How To)

[KenRosier]

Help!

Do you know if the 2005 Lincoln LS chrome grille will fit on a 2000 Lincoln LS? How about the license plate holder. I'd like to get it painted so it can have the upgraded 2005 look. Please advise.

I'm a little confused on the grille compatibility issue. Will the 2003-2005 stock LS grills fit on my 2002 LS? Also, are the LSE grilles different then the LS grilles?

All Lincoln LS grilles will interchange with ALL years. The differences in the LS and LSE grille is that one has a chrome surround and black water fall and the other has a painted surround and chrome water fall.

Epoxy

What type of epoxy are you guys using on these and where can it be purchased? Do you recomend a two part epoxy? Thanks

Ken, what do you do with the remaining two pieces from the all-chrome conversion? You're left with a painted surround and the grey-ish insert? I gots an idea! If you have a black grille, I'd take it. Lemme know!

thats how the LSE's come stock isnt it? the painted surround with the greyish middle? i saw one at the dealership with that grill on it, it was an 02... i got a grill like that leftover from my conversion, if anybody wants it...

I have an '02 LSE grille and they are two pieces, but the upper painted portion just separates from the lower grey portion... it's not painted all around like a "D"... the one Ken pictured above.

Can you use the 05 LSE grill, when I check ford parts it is alot cheaper for some reason...
