Looks great sickboy!

Hey you guys notice that the factory left out the tint that goes on the top of the windshield to block glare? Noticed that all the outher Lightnings have them maybe those are dealer installed?

Not a specific kit...it was a pieced together setup

I used 3 inch drop springs, Hotchkis rear leafs, revalved shocks, 2inch shackle.. ES bump stops and end links. And a decent set of cam bolts...My buddy KINGPIN advised of this combo...he was running it on his 03 Sonic blue with 20 inch Smoothie two's..check his gallery out..it was a dope truck Thanx for the kind words guys...
