SteveB_TX Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Me like. Of course, I am biased when it comes to white. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizner17 Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 i like your front end a little better then mine SteveB_TX, and that front end blacked out would look really good.......post some pics when its done haha. the only thing ive been thinking about adding to my car is the lower factory grayish/blackish fog lamp bezel and lower grill on the bumper now might need to be painted gloss black like the main grill to really make it pop. and the chrome strip that runs down the side of my car on the bottom part of the windows might need to be matte black vinyl wrapped like the rest of the OEM boarders around the windows, i havent decided yet.

robertlane Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 You really cannot go wrong with a white car that's blacked out and the Lincoln MKZ is no exception to that rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FedFire37 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 That looks awesome. I had considered using DupliColor's metalcast paint to do all of the chrome on my silver MKZ giving it the black chrome or smoked look. I think it would look badass on yours as well. robertlane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ishansharma2 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Are those 18's or 17's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizner17 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 the guys who did my tint also offered to match the chrome between the bottom of the side windows and the top of the door with a matching matte black wrap. they said it would match the top of the door exactly because thats whats on the trim on the top of the door from the factory, a wrap. i know that to be true because my thule mountain bike rack slipped a little and wrinkled the factory wrap a little bit. the black rims are the same exact size as the oem ones that came with the car so that if i ever sold it the new owner could go back to original rims by just swapping the tires. the size that came on my car are 17" although i think an 18" would look a little better in my opinion. i know myself and i usually dont keep a car for too long until i want a new toy, and the new owner doesnt have to do a ton of work to take it back to all original. im currently looking around on ebay for an original chrome grill because mine is painted, and then that will come with the sale of the car also.

oldhead Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Did U paint the grill on or off the car. looks great thinking about doing my silver MKZ 2011 like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizner17 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 the grill was painted off the car. it wasnt too bad to take off the car and send it to a shop. there is a ton of labor for masking though, i think it ended up being around $250-$300 to get it painted.

ishansharma2 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I want to do my grille like that, plastidip black the whole grille including the chrome border and throw a coat or two of glossifier. Almost the same look for about $40 cost ;) Life of a college student. juanc212 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
