Default Pics of my 03 Lightning...

The blue stripe is not the color I want, it's supposed to be a dark metallic blue so that needs to be changed. Anyway here they are...

They're not for everyone but I like em. On the other hand it's hard finding a black wheel that fits this vehicle.

I like the black wheels alot on that truck...but just not those particular wheels. They still look good though. It's just that a quality set of wheels would really kick *** on it.

Not trying to bust your ***** here. I think it looks really good. Just throwing out some constructive criticism.

What does she run?

I dont know on this one, in my opinion (which really doesnt matter) I think its borderline RICE, do you know which class that races uses those stripes? And The Black Wheels/Altezza's.......I dunno, maybe I'm just getting old.

I belive the altezzas come stock on that year. Could be wrong though. Also as tim99 said, drop it. Would look sick.

Rice? You must be out of your mind. "Altezzas" are NOT OEM tail lights.

Looks cool, I like the Grand Sport influence in the stripes... How do you like your power retractable tonneau?

Drop that bitch ASAP.

Thanks for the compliments guys. For those that don't like it that much or think it's rice that's totally cool too, like I said not everyone will like it. The tailights and headlights came stock on the 01+ Lightnings. I do plan to lower it eventually, I haven't had it long and still have to sell the WS6. Once that car's gone the truck will be getting cams and a plethora of other goodies. For now on street tires it ran an 8.4 @83mph in the 1/8th. I think it'll do 8.1-8.2 on a good day with some slicks. I've tried running it on the ET-Streets I had on my car (26x11.5x16) but it just blows them off at the line no matter how hot you get them, so I need to pick up some 28's. Anyway thanks for the nice words.
