BTW, the checkered flag running down the side is way too much.

I think it's whats on the hood we should be concerned about. Those lighted windshield washers add over 50hp! (depending on color of course)

I got the idea from Johnny Lightning who runs the same hood scoop on his 9.88 sec. Lightning.
I drive down the street and don't get many light to light takers.

I don't feel the need to expand on some of the rice comments cuz like was said to each his own.
2004 come to the FFW & NMRA races and check us out this year we would be happy to let you take a look.
I work for Ford Romeo where the GT super car is made! I have been blessed with being able to walk in and talk to the people who make and test the engine. I will admit that I have picked their brain a time or two!

Who cares, it's not your truck. You don't hear us calling your truck rice do you?

From everything I've seen on here Suavy is a stand up guy, but that doesn't mean I have to share the same tastes he does does it?? Yeah, he could have worded it nicer, but oh well.
As for Johnny's truck, the paint is nice, but it's overdone. Too much going on. Nice theme, but too much of it for me, and again, hate the scoop. BTW, why does he have diablo on the side of his truck and send me christian messages with my CAI?? Am I missing something??
As far as tuner trucks go, I think I like JJ's the best. I don't care for the JLP sticker on the side, I think it's too much, but otherwise I like it.
Hell, who am I though, I think I'm the only one on here who liked Vinnie's truck better before the flames. I guess I just like simplicity, or ghost flames like DL's.

Wave blaster, I agree with your statement that is why initially I left it just one solid color. However, I plan on competing and winning some races this year. With that in mind when you pick up a Muscle Mustang and Fast Ford magazine you don't see very many plain truck.
My whole mission was to create a totally unique lightning. I didn't use any body's total shelf performance mods or any ones shelf chip. In doing so it did cause me some growing pains and cost me 2 seasons bring it all together.
I did not want to have a typical cookie cutter Lightning I wanted to do stuff that people would say, "How did he do that?"
I have been blessed to have sponsors and support from people like, Magnum Powers, Factory Tech Racing, Johnny Lightning Performance, JDM Engineering, Power Sport Performance, Razors Edge Motor Sport, and last but not least! Billet Speed Performance! Also the members of all the boards who helped me out with wisdom and $$$
If I have left any one out please forgive me!
Suavy
