Need some help with Ford Lighting

i have no clue what custom stuff to do to this kit....i've been staring at it but no ideas......maybe becayse im tired....:confused: :apoke:

all ideas will be considered

it was me i would lower it paint it either white or red put some speakers in it and some custom racing seats or maybe you could do this its the new Boss 5.4 it is the basic frame of a lightning and probably very easy to recreate ????????

Try lookin through those custom trucking magazines. I'll admit, the trucks do look nice (even though I would'nt drive'em ;) ). They have plenty of advertisments of custom parts, body kits, engine stuff etc...
I don't remember the names of the magazines but there are some really good ones.

the lightning im building is slammed and has some 20's, and im custom making a working tonneau cover and maybe a bed rug and interior carpet, and possibly some flames

some good magazines are truckin, street trucks, sport truck, mini trucks, tailgate... or check out www.sportruck.com
this is kind of what im doing except a little smaller rims

to lower it, all u have to do is glue the wheels to the top of the wheel wale, i garentee it will be at least 4 mm lower ;)

I just tried that with 20" chrome rims......and when i did it the chassie scraped so no i think ill leave it the origonal ride high but add the bigger rims....and what color would be good i like the black with the chrome rims....but what do you guys suggest.

oh yeah :D i have more ford truck models than anything at the moment

My neighbor owns a lightning, he has a fiberglass bed topper on it not one of those ugly things but like a bed cover get it ? but it makes it too SO much better, I f I were you I would make an opening be cover with either speakers in the back or nitrous. And of course a wild paint job!

As of now i have about had it with red on lightnings it looks ok but still everyone has it that color god it is so annoying

Consider that 1999 lightnings only came in black and red. 2000-2002 came in red,black,white,silver. 2003 has lightning electric blue.

The older, pre-97 lightnings were also very popular in red.

Red is almost the trademark color of the lightning. :flipa:

I think the red is extremely UGLY:apuke:
:monkeypis RED!

they also came in white!!, but the 2003's have the new gunmetal gray that would be sweet to do that, or that telephonica blue is really nice!!

they did or didnt ok listen red is old thats all im saying no matter what you can get it painted

Ah, thanks for the correction Thor :)

Never seen a 99 in white, but I bet its sure pretty :)
