Mark VII mirrors? Not sure on that. But they have Lincoln emblems on the front of them.

Any other vehicles have the chrome mirrors that will take the place of the stock ones?  And what year of the Lincoln's so I won't be going out there blind and spending the whole day out there just looking.

I'm pretty sure the only chrome mirrors that will fit and look like they belong are going to be off of another '87-'88 Cougar or Tbird.

I like it except for the chrome fender trim. I don't know why but it always looks cheesey to me. Kinda like chrome rockers :yuck:

I don't know for sure what all might fit, but you shouldn't have any problem getting them off of the 87-88 cougar though.

Honestly, I'd go for a paintjob aswell.  Purely going on looks...  The old man Baise colour isnt the best look, (My first 88 T-bird was that exact colour) but thats just my opinion.  If ur gonna go chrome on that thing i'd say go black or be radical and go Candy apple green (would give it that lowrider look)...  Mabey even get the trim painted to match or completley chrome it instead of just the pin-stripe...  Again, just my opinion...  U might like the old man baise, I know I didn't...

Ok so I am getting some chrome mirrors for the car, and probably a chrome grill, and other little chrome pieces so then I ask this question.  What is next for it? Although it will be awhile until I have the funding for it, but here ya go.  Either some 17" rims(Cobra R or Pony R's) or get it painted either black or dark metallic blue? What do you guys think, or what would be the best investment and for the paint what color would go good with the car?

Dark Blue or a Candy Red

Leave the paint alone and get rid of the wheel well trim. Why should you leave the paint alone? I'll give you two reasons: 1: it's an XR7 so it's kinda rare and 2: can you say sleeper?;)
