Here's a pic of the 01 Lightning:



This pic was taken during Tom Scarpello's presentation at the Mid-America Ford Performance Meet in Tulsa, OK last Saturday night.

Note the new side marker lights and different wheels.

Looks like the Fog lights may be different bulbs and or lenses.

 

Looks like the rain gutter thingy is color matched also.

 

It looks like the headlight lenses may be clear. Looks like an inner circle to the lense inside like maybe, the new Explorers.

 

It looks like they are making white!!!!Tell you the truth from what I can see,Other than the head light lense with the (chrome) back reflector,I like ours better.I do not like the corner lenses.I certainly dont like the fog lamps.I really cant tell what the wheels look like.Ours do seem, alot more (beeeefy) Those kinda look like big explorer wheels.So far the 2000s look best.I think the rain gutter thing is still black,Hard to say at the angle.If you look closly the OH ***** handle is gone on the drivers side.This looks like a 99 that was fitted with 2001 parts,Kinda like all of the lightning brochures for 2000 (paint shop).I dont think they would show a 2001 lightning in white if they wernt gonna make um! I could have waite a year for a new one.By the looks Im kinda glad I didnt!

 

the lights actually look like the SCuba F150 lights. just an opservation

 

Someone please ask the gentleman with his hand over his mouth to duck, blocking my view!

 

Hey STEVE FULLER send some more pics please, good reconisons work tho.

 

I asked the SVT guys about white and they said they would indeed be making them in white.

This was the only picture they showed us, and they didn't give us any additional info.

Do i see a power anntena?

 

No power antenna as its hidden in the shadow.

If you want one you can buy the Expedition antenna, which is what ford would have done if they did put it on the Lightning.

 

If ya look real close you can see the 4:10 gears, SHM MAF unit, K&N Filter, some kind of "Flip Chip", and even a hint of IC cooler fans. WOW! Only thing missing are the factory Long tube headers, and NOS control switches for retro fit kits from Ford.

Sorry I just couldn't help myself!

Alan or Steve could you possible describe the wheels on the 01 models?

Ok guys Youll remeber this one
Are thoose grills BLACK or GRAY?

 

Sorry, what you see in the pic is basically all we saw. The wheels were really hard to make out, but they are obviously different from the current ones.

Too bad they didn't show any more slides.
