Official LS Picture Thread

I've looked at the kits before and I'm curious how "Titanium Burl Wood" would look in my interior... Hmmmmm
(I don't have much for wood trim anyway)

Supplier link ?

 

[T-Money]

Hinzy I think you can pull it off. I used to want that color also, but since my sterling wheel and shifter are also wood I think it'd look stupid to have 2 different color wood trims, but since your LSE had leather shifter and steering wheel you could go sure pull it off.

Sometimes I look at it and like the wood, sometimes I want something different like this

I brought the kit off ebay $109.99

Thanks, I was checking out the carbon fiber look. Seems a bit thick with the 3M tape and all.


More leaning towards this wrap stuff, apply heat to contour edges:

I had a dash kit, took it off cause it looked cheap. You will always see what's beneath.

Vinyl wrap is the way to go.

Vinyl wrap is definitely good if you have the patience and time. However the kit that I brought isn't bulky at all and looks like it could have been factory installed.

I plan to order the brushed black aluminum vinyl wrap

I don't think carbon fiber belongs anywhere in a lincoln

Be sure to post a pic. Very interested in seeing it.
It's not on the top of the list for me but eventually I'll get to it.

This is the material on a friend's CTS-V

 

[RigsLS]

Oh yeah, the brushed black look. That does look good.

Decent photoshoot next month, weather permitting. In the meantime, cloudy days make my LS look like a ninja.

Drizz, have you ever considered lightly tinting your headlights? They just look light compared to all the blackness your car has. I'm tinting my headlights so in about a month you can get a feel for how it looks.

 

[Andrizzle]

Yes I have, and I have experimented with different vinyls/films and they all end up looking like trash once you project light through them.

I may be using the wrong film, but I was using a high quality Oracal vinyl and it just never looked right.


I wanted to achieve a light smoke just to tone them down a bit, but it looks like the only way to do may be painting with a spray - and that is too risky IMO. So unless I come across a different vinyl, I just rock them clear.

In this photo they stand out more, due to the clouds, the vinyl has a full matte look with no sun - and has a satin look with sunlight. Thus the headlights being a reflective surface stand out way more on a cloudy day.

I like em clear... (hate the spoiler gloss).. but love the headlights... LOL since you asked me

Looks like your degas bottle is leaking...lol

You know how to make a guy laugh hahah. That was a good one

 

[Andrizzle]

HAHA yes! That is actually just a result of me getting excited while looking back at my LS when I walk away. And I don't mean urine.


G-Rell, I understand your feelings on the spoiler. I question it all the time. Sometimes it just looks really damn good giving it contrast - especially since all my windows are black it matches well from different angles.

 

[G-RELL]

I get it, and i dont HATE the look, just love to see it match... But hey, what the hell do i know . still an amazing LS!!!

 

[hinzy]

I just received my HID's back from getting angel eyes and clear markers installed....

I don't know how the hell am I supposed to hold out installing them until it gets nice out??

Try this. I think the Pros use this in sports car racing.

You pay someone to install them also?, who'd you go with. Last time install cost me 199+ shipping.

Yeah, I paid someone to do mine.... someone on here who said they were retired from doing it

Yea I have thought about ordering a couple sheets from them. Gotta find out the headlight dimensions so I can order sheets instead of those pre cut things. Those are way too expensive to avoid some easy cutting.
