Thank you Raptor. I personally do not like chrome one bit which made me want this truck so much. I don't like Chrome so I've done what I can't to get rid of it all. However I can't bring my self to paint or get new wheels I like these way too much for some reason.

I agree. I'm trying to locate a white rear bumper so I can swap out my chrome one. Then get some 18" L-repro wheels and get them painted gloss black

Those black lightening wheels will look really good.

Still need to lower the rear another inch or two to make it truly level.

The day I brought it home (Yeah, it already had the hood on it, BONUS!!):



I wanted to take my Mustang off the road:


Just before my last mod:


Currently:
Love the hood! Been looking at the cobra style for a while. I see there are a couple variations of it...with a cowl and without. Just curious if this is the one without a cowl hood? I want the cobra cowl hood. Just couldn't tell from the pic if this is it or if this the one considered with no cowl.

Thanks! Great looking truck

Thanks. I told myself no more mods. Shes about to turn 15 and cross 300K miles, not to mention she is a First Response vehicle for my Fire Dept, but I can't help but imagine a 3/5 drop with some blacked-out Lightning 18s on it.

Right on. That'll look good.
