car prize: lincoln concepts

Ford may be the featured manufacturer for this year's SEMA show, but that doesn't mean it's forgotten about its other divisions. After seeing what customizers did with cars like the Chrysler 300 and Cadillac Escalade, Ford is offering up its own luxury cars from the Lincoln brand for the full SEMA treatment.
Headlining the group are the Lincoln MKS, MKZ, and MKT models. Can Lincoln be hip?
MKT Rickbottom Side
Rick Bottom Designs MKT Panache
Rick Bottom kept it simple and old-school with a ride height lowered by 2 inches, shaved door handles, minor body work and just enough chrome trim to accent the belt line without going overboard. Inside, two-tone leather, floating arm rests, and a custom audio system up the luxury factor.

Raceskinz MKS
rue to its name, Raceskinz re-skinned the MKS with more carbon-fiber trim inside and out than you can shake a stick at. That includes dash and door trim, a new roof, fog light bezels, mirror caps, a rear diffuser, a rear spoiler, side door moldings, antenna cover, license plate frames, and more done up in carbon fiber. Raceskinz promises that the carbon treatment is tasteful and not overdone, though the laundry list of add-ons worries us. A custom rear center console and high-powered LIIV entertainment system complete the package.
3D Carbon Front Three Quarters
MKZ by 3dCarbon
3dCarbon went nice and simple with its MKZ and added a new rear spoiler and rear roof spoiler, stainless steel door moldings and exhaust tips, and 20-in. TSW wheels wrapped in low-profile tires to the exterior. Jazzing up the engine is a Magnaflow exhaust that helps it breathe and sound better.
