    Very nice. Very, very nice.

    Just a thought on the headlights, perhaps using those lights with the three-pronged thing in them (kind of like the Mercedes emblem) might be a nice custom deviation from stock without deviating much? Anyone know the lights I'm talking about??? Perhaps they wouldn't look good, you'd have to decide that (or the owner, I guess), I'm just tossing the idea out there.

    Very nice. Did I already mention that?

    OH, please, pleasee PLEASE don't do away with the stock headlight buckets!(I do like the tribar headlight idea though) When people do away with those headlights, those lincolns just look like "Big ole' mercs" I feel that the head lights are a very intregal part of their "iden***y"
