Mods to my "stock" Lightning

Well I was supposed to keep this thing stock Getting married and having a house built right now is sort of making me cautious about spending money on the new L but for the life of me I cant help it Im a mod junkie its like crack for me.

I have not made the first payment yet and already spent 2k in mods!!!!! I have some serious issues I guess but it really enjoy tinkering and modding the truck so I guess if it makes me happy its worth it. Hell I dont work 60 hours a week for my good looks.

Anyways mods since purchase on 2/20/2004..

FRPP lowering kit
Clunk washers
01 leafs
Alignment
12" filter kit
Breather cap
PCV mod with the dime and EV98B
Defi boost gauge
Defi - FP and WT with lotec pod (not yet installed)
Autometer colummn pod

Billet idler kit and one extra idler (pics below)
6lb lower metco interchangeble pulley kit (not installed)
Custom Tuned predator from RWTD (on order need for pulley install)
Magnaflow catback (on order)

Next up long tubes and a ported blower.

Vinnie,

I think the exhaust looks better when it is sitting on your own floor just before being installed

yeah, one of these days I'll come up with something you don't have.

And then I'll put flames on it.

And then you'll you'll be calling me!

It definitely looks awesome like that!

I bought mine in bits and pieces as i could afford it so I didnt get to pose it all for one big "bling" picture.

Wake up the sleepless neighbors? It's pretty quiet all by itself at cruise and idle, only gets loud when you stomp on it.

Although I did catch crap from one cop when I had just the catback on. I wonder what he would say now!
