Well, I do not own a Mark but I would love to meet some fellow Texas Lincoln lovers! http://mylincoln.smokeys.org/smokey2.jpg http://mylincoln.smokeys.org/index.html 1998 Continental Lufkin, TX

RE: SSHS3, anyone going to help us fellow Lincoln owner Too bad they do not allow FWD cars. I think the Conti meets all the other requirements. Maybe their afraid of us? http://mylincoln.smokeys.org/smokey2.jpg http://mylincoln.smokeys.org/index.html 1998 Continental Lufkin, TX

Finally received my new dash kit. Looks awesome! I'll post some pics as soon as I can. The people at Joshua Tree really worked with me on this one. I do regret my earlier hasty conclusions. http://mylincoln.smokeys.org/smokey2.jpg http://mylincoln.smokeys.org/index.html 1998 Continental Lufkin, TX

Yes, I checked all the others. Joshua was one of only 2 that even listed the Conti and the only one that showed a panel for the rear doors. That was my reason I went with them. http://mylincoln.smokeys.org/index.html 1998 Continental Lufkin, TX

I have discovered through my 51 years that a lot of smaller comapnies are operated by people who are very knowledgeable about the product/service they provide but are very lacking in basic customer relation skills. I have learned in dealing with the public that a steady flow of cummunication and...

Check the bottom of their site. http://www.woodtrim.com/ It shows "them" to be 5 people or at least that's the impression their website gives. Also, I discovered that the kits are actually produced by http://www.flautotrim.com which I have also been in contact with on this little "adventure". :)...

Got my sample from them on Saturday. It may not be a perfect match but it's so close I am going to take it. I'll send my kit back Monday and see what happens. So far they have been very cooperative. Makes me feel bad about having ill tendacies toward them. Though I will admit, a little more...

Script Hmmm ..

Sounds good. Let me recover from the other recent purchases and I'll get with you about a chip then. Thanks a lot! http://mylincoln.smokeys.org/smokey2.jpg http://mylincoln.smokeys.org/index.html 1998 Continental Lufkin, TX

Well, I just got a set of tires so new tires are not an option. :( http://mylincoln.smokeys.org/smokey2.jpg http://mylincoln.smokeys.org/index.html 1998 Continental Lufkin, TX

Next question, where is the control module located on a '98 Conti? The one on my TC was just to the left of the steering column under the dash. I located what I think is the outside connector on the passenger side of the firewall. Also, will it affect the reliability of the FWD tranny? Mine...

Very nice, but you gotta wonder. What would you have if you spent HALF that price tag modding a nice Mark. http://mylincoln.smokeys.org/smokey2.jpg http://mylincoln.smokeys.org/index.html 1998 Continental Lufkin, TX

Good news. I finally got a response from Joshua Tree. They are issuing me a return tag to ship my kit back. They are also sending me a sample to check against my Conti to verify matching before making another kit. This will teach me to be more patient, something I desperately need to to do. :)...

I guess what makes me so mad at myself was I decided to get the dash kit instead of a chip. It was the same amount of money and I felt pretty safe with ordering the dash kit since it was advertised as an "OEM Factory Match". My other option is to just keep the kit and when I get a newer Conti...

Well, I have sent 4 emails,. the first one with pictures of my Conti's wood trim and a piece of their's taped under it so they could see it is not even close to matching. Today, I called their support number and all I got was a recording telling me to email them. I was hoping for at least an...
