Beautiful truck, I have wanted a lightning since I was like 12. I like the rims and the stripes will look better once you get a darker color, good job man

Love the truck Sly! Looks great just the way it is. Lowering it will be killer! Those pictures look like Texas. When you all coming home?

Should be home a week from Monday. I tell you what it drives noticeably different down here. Took my brother for a ride and hammered it from a stop. It spun through all 4 gears and didn't stop until I let up!!! It never did that in Asheville lol.

I like it. Needs BIGGER wheels. The wheels on the "Scandalous Racing" lightning ones would look awesome on yours.

Lower it, get a power antenna or shorter billet antenna, and drop the stripes (they don't look right, color or theme.) Love the wheels, love the color. Once you lower it and lose the fender gap the 20's will def. look like 20's. I probably would have gone with black billet grilles too. Gotta stick with one color cheme. Black spokes = black grilles.
