Blacked out Exterior:
- Peeled off all side pinstripes.
- All side glass chrome trim covered with black electrical tape.
- Chrome strip inserts in lower molding and bumpers covered with 1 roll of blackout tape.
- Windows tinted.
- Trunklid chrome bar trim painted black.
- Side and rear badging painted black.
- Chrome surround of grill painted black.
- Narrow vertical bars in grill painted black (wide bars left chrome for a toothy look).
- Chrome trim around headlights, sidemarkers and taillights painted black.
- Lincoln logo in sidemarkers covered with chrome tape (I love this look!).
- Headlight, sidemarker and tail lights all opened up and all reflective surfaces except parabolas painted black.
- Lense of the license plate lights in rear bumper tinted black with spray paint (inner surfaces painted silver).

Suspension:
- new urethane stabar links
- Police Car Crown Vic Monroe Sensitrac shocks installed

Wheels & Tires:
- 25mm spacers on front (requires cutting ~5mm off wheel studs).
- 35mm spacers on rear.
- 17x8 1994 Cobra coupe wheels.
- new P235/55R17 Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S tires.

Exhaust:
- trimmed downturn on tailpipes and added 9� chrome tips
- installed longer rear exhaust hangers and cut holes in bumper bottom trim plastic to clear new tips.

Interior:
- covered all �wood� trim pieces on dash, door arm rests and steeringwheel with fake carbon fiber (yeah, fake carbon fiber is a little dorky but it matches the grey/black/chrome interior much better than the brown "wood", and I have a violent allergic reaction to fake wood trim). It looks similar to the same pieces found in Marauder.
- de-chromed the trim at the top of all door inner panels that faces the glass using rubbing compound (the plastic underneath is black).
- changed yellow LEDs in front door that shine on window controls with blue LEDs.
- masked some sections of the cluster under the cover with yellow & orange cellophane so instead of an entirely cyan-color cluster, it is now has green (fuel, temp, speedcontrol, O/D off, and info menu boxes), cyan (speed, odometer, and info numerical readout) and yellow (check air suspension, door ajar, trunk ajar).

Before: In case you were wondering what the car looked like when I got it, here is the original used-car dealer photo. It's the only one I've got of the car with no modifications. Pretty much your basic black 1996 Executive Town Car. Nice but not twisted. Didn't have a chance.
