Well from the looks of it you already have the rigt highth.

1. Black Wheels..... 2k+
2. Body Kit, "side skirts, lightning front valance".....600+
3. Black Grill .....200+
4. Cowl Hood.....600+
5. The bumper you could have powdercoated..... 300+
5A. You could also do a rolled rear pan... instead of a full bumper and paint it white... 600+ w/paint
6. bed cover...250+
7. Supercharger....PRICELESS... wont add this into the finally price.

Anything you see on here that you dont want or need just subtract it.

These arent exact prices but should be in the ball park!

$4500... give or take a little.

Ok i do have the cash to get these things, lets start with

1. Body Kit, i want the side skirts and lightning valance, i do have a question on the valance, i thought the lightning bumper was one piece? i havent seen one in real life just in person/ also powdercoat my bumper, i can do that??? even though it has chrome?

2. Black grille, both top and bottom?
3. Where can i find that exact hood, i have seen several hoods and did not find that one, i have the Cobra R hood but i will sell it if i find that exact hood
4. the rear bumper/ roll pan, i dont mind as long as i find a cheap one, i have seen roll pan from cervinis and it looks nice
5. the bed cover, i want this one http://photobucket.com/image/ford%20...htning.jpg?o=3
6. Supercharger - Ur Right Priceless, not going to get one,

Post a picture of your truck side view and front view and rear view if you can.

1. The grille should have a black center, the surround should stay white.
2. If you have a Cobra R then id keep that one, and have the slots in the center painted plack and the pieces that angle up black also... kinda hard to explain i know.
3. Id just paint the stock bumper black it would be pretty cheap, and you dont need the scratch resistance of powdercoat.
4. The hard bed covers are nice but also more expensive
5. The Lightning bumper has a plastic cover on it, just snaps over the original bumper, heres one on ebay...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...3756.m20.l1116
6. If you decide to go with this then make sure you put a grille in the center hole and have it painted black!

I have such a good view of the hood painted all up its just hard to explain!

Go to https://cervinis.com/search.aspx?yea...50%20Lightning and look at the ram air hood and louvered hood. Both of these I debated between and would look insane on yours. I went with the Ram Air and got unnumerable comments on how it looked.

Low_e_Red - i already looked at those hoods as well, i was going to get the Ram Air hood but someone in town has it, than so i decided i would get the Louvered hood, after much thought i came to the conclusion that i would get the one i posted earlier on this thread, it is by far my 2nd favorite, thanks for the opinions, look at the pics of my truck i posted up and let me know what ya think so far

4.2trimble - Starting off with the side skirts, do u think there is any problem with getting the side skirts/ roll pan from ebay, alot of people here say that ebay sucks for car parts and they items are cheap, when i first started looking, ebay is where i found the things i wanted for my truck, but i started reading so much negative feedback on this site about ebay, i dont care where i buy my stuff from for my truck as long as it fits and looks nice, that hood u posted up, i like that hood, looks great i had to post my side view of my truck from photobucket because the site doesnt let me post any pics,

1. Cobra R hood - slots should be painted black, i think i know what u mean but am not 100% sure
2. i must be dumb, but the front bumper is still not clicking in my head, lets say i go with the bumper u posted up, i would take my chrome bumper/valance off?
3. The cover, ima get it, even though it is expensive, i think it looks sick!!!! so here is what i know for a fact that i am going to get

a. Side Skirts
b. Roll Pan/ bumper
c. Bed Cover
d. Wheels - Look though my album and u should see the ones i want, they are maya wheels but are freaking expensive - 800.00 p5.4 er wheel
e. Black Grille
I also made a quick video off of my phone so that u could see what it looks like as well, kinda bad video because it was my phone

About my truck, i dont know much, but its a V-8 5.4 litre, all stock

Ive never bought auto parts off ebay, the hood is the first thing that i have ever bought and its not on the truck so who knows how it will fit? Also you dont have to buy off ebay just find what you want on ebay and search around from there what you want after you know what to look for. I just dont know where to look for street stuff.

Try truckaddons.com or stylingtrucks.com

Ok on the front bumper From what i can understand it just covers the chrome and everything, ive never bought one so im not 100% sure.

The hard cover will be much nicer than a soft one IMHO...

And if i was you id start thinking performance upgrades as soon as you are done with this stuff!

I am thinking about performance as well, just want to go ahead and do this and than start thinking about performance, i still have to do my interior as well, but anyways, hard cover would look nicer to u? ya if u find anything that i have mentioned on any site that ur may just happend to come across to, just post it up or send it or send it to me, the thing im scared of is buying something off of ebay than it doesnt fit like i want to, than thats just money down the drain, i think to negative

ok, it been a while, i have pretty busy, well first of all, i found someone that can paint the parts i am going to buy and put it on my truck for a pretty cheap price, i just want everything together so that he can just add everything at the same time(except wheels)

4.2trimble - I had a question about the roll pan, do u think it would look better with this roll pan
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...3756.m20.l1116

or would it look better with the lightning stock rear bumper? the reason i ask is because i am going to get this Tonneau Cover?
http://photobucket.com/image/ford%20...htning.jpg?o=3

Also i love how the side skirts look, but will they fit my truck? I am porbably moving out of this town pretty soon and i want to get my truck fixed up before i move so if anyone can help, please do, on there opions and if this will fit my truck
