Why, Why, Why

I know its his money and all and he can do whatever he wants, but WHY

He calls it a L clone but it has NO L parts on it. Not even the bumper is right.

I figured youd like that with the flames and all Vin. You should bid on it, if you won you could always use it as a beater!

Actually what I really Liked is the NOS mats. Even though he does NOT have nitrous.
Maybe the mats are worth 10 H.P.

Again , His truck, His money.

Wonder what that window tint would look like on your truck? Couldnt be any worse on yours than it is on his. Hey, speaking of floor mats...did we ever get a finished pic of those mats that someone was trying to make (I think it might have been Tim but I cant remember)? Just curious and hoping that I didnt miss the bus!

Maybe he should have taken the $4000 (or so he says) he invested in that "paint job", bad@ss NOS floormats, flamed gauge cluster, and Lightning "Bagges" and used it, along with his original purchase price of the truck, to buy an actual Lightning?

Reminds me of the story my mechanic told me about that took place while he was working at a Ford dealership down in Monterey. A guy came into the dealership and bought a brand new automatic V6 mustang, and proceeded to spend about $10k on suspension, rims, exhaust, cobra-lookalike bodykit, "Cobra" steering wheel, "Cobra" brakes & brake rotors, etc., within a couple weeks of buying the car. Turns out if he would have spent another $2k in addition to the $10k he spent trying to make it look like a Cobra and original purchase price of the V6, he could have gotten a real Cobra. Instead, he ended up with a Cobra clone with an automatic transmission and a slow v6. Oh well, to each his own, I guess.

he lists his e-mail, we can all send him our thoughts

"WE HAVE PUT ALL THE LIGHTNING PARTS ON THIS TRUCK TO MAKE IT LOOK JUST LIKE ONE (17 INCH CHROME WHEELS, FRONT BUMMPER COVER, LIGHTNING BAGGES ON THE SIDES)."

Didn't know they made 17" Lightning replica's. That bumper cover looks like two huge zits about to blow. Bagges? What's a bagge? LOL

I'm sorry, but his bumper cover awful. Looks like with a paint job like that he would have at least bought the right bumper cover. He probably didn't wanna replace the whole front bumper with one from a 99 so the brackets would match up to allow you to add a lightning bumper cover..
