    T/As are discontinued.. you can still find them some places though if they were overstock, but are no longer in production.

            Since you're doing some bodywork on it, how about losing the Mercury and Grand Marquis emblems? It's not their car anymore.

                It looks awesome with green paint.

                  get a lift kit and put 25s on it


                  no i kid, I think your car looks pretty elegant and nice the way it is. I can never think of much to do with late model panthers except for different wheels, in terms of looks.

                    +1 on the tinting the lenses. Otherwise she looks pretty sharp as is.

                      Lenses are going to be tinted soon. I'll post some pictures after bodywork and new tires, right now i have wheels off an interceptor with the centers on so it doesnt look great. I was thinking of blacking out the center of my grille but leaving the surrounding chrome but i'm not sure. I like my wheels too much to part with them actually. Im getting my fenders done as there starting to bubble.

                        Are you having the fenders touched up or replaced?
