look at this...
Before....


and after.


guy did an amazing job. he wrecked the truck, and ended up buying a real L.


Fairy tale story, right?

 

rims, lower body kit and lowered, cant imagine that more than $2k was spent

i guess we all have a different description of an amazing.
i actually liked it better in his reply #71, not try trying to pretend to be anyhting other than a nice looking truck.

 

thats like kissing your sister, it doesnt count and shouldnt be done, i hope he atleast added a sc or turbo

 

This is the Lightning your buddy in the stock Civic was talking about.

 

yeah it sucks it was still a v6 but it made the guy happy. and he ended up getting the real deal.


he was planning on an engine swap i beleive, but then he wrecked it. thats a nice truck though, looks very legit. he did a good job.

 

Its a nice looking truck now, no need to bash him, he didnt use lightning emblems.

 

I don't think anybody's really bashing him. I equate that truck with a woman that looks really nice... with her clothes on. When she comes out of them you find that, without her stuffed wonder-bra, her girdle, and the pantyhose that were keeping her *** from falling down the back of her legs, she's not what you thought you were getting. Big disappointment. Same thing with that truck. It looks good; but, it's disappointing that it's not the real deal.

 

Let the cvc's think they can beat one. Thats how ya make money!

 

Yeah. I know it doesn't really fit here; but, I love that picture.

 

He isn't trying to make it look like the real deal either, he just has the body kit and headlights (which were in the first picture too)

If I ever loose a headlight to a deer strike I am getting the Lightning style ones because I think they are the best looking ones out there, and I hope people don't think I am trying to make my truck look like a Lightning.

With no Lightning badges (he even has NBS badges) I would say he just mixed and matched parts he liked for his truck, just like the rest of us do. I would call imposter if he was trying to make it down to the nose a clone but with a V-6, but he obviously isn't, it is just a lowered V-6 truck with a bodykit, headlights, and rims.

 

Last week I saw a green fleet side around 77-04 body style. He had the side exhaust, some kind of lincon navigator hood and grill, a lightning style valance and....svt badges on the tailgate.

It was on the highway so the wheels 20-22 inch it had been lowered.

Looked not bad, but the svt badges kind of put me off.

 

the guy didnt want svt emblems, which is good. he would have gotten ragged for it big time
