How can I tell a REAL lightning from a.....

Poser?? I saw a black ford the other day, it had the lightning badges on the side and the SVT emblem on the left rear bottom of the tailgate, but something was missing. I just don't know what.It was filthy dirty, had a cheap looking tonneau cover with a million snaps all around it, and the 2 tailpipes out the right side were all rusty. The mufflers were extremely quiet, as was the engine, ( no supercharger whine). Is there anything special I should look for if I see it again?....Just curious, thanks.

Lets see if I can get it all. A Lightning will have a bumper than goes from grill down with two fog lights. Tail pipes will come out the passenger side infront of the rear wheels. Will have a body kit, and 18 inch rims (unless they upgrade). Lets see, must be standard cab, and the tires will always be smoking

should be lowered, step side, regular cab, front end bumper, ground effects, 18 in alloys, exhaust in front of rear tire, uhhhh painted rear bumper, tags, seats. thats about all thats visible.

Maybe you saw a flareside?

Oh and altezza rear lights for 01-02 and the special 3rd brake light.
