Pre-'05 4-door Lightning?

I've been away from the F150 scene for a bit now, but I didn't think they made a 4-door Lightning. I saw one yesterday (at least it was badged as a Lightning) on I75S (ATL) and I was blown away.
Tell me I'm crazy ... I thought Ford never created one (except the HD F150). Sorry for the quality of the pix, it was done on a cell phone. The truck looked great (rims, exhaust, painted calipers-all 4 wheels, sound, etc).
Did I miss something?

OK, well that's what I thought too. Although it doesn't show in the pics, I think this guy did a great job with it.

Porcelin? What's up with that? Glad your in Hawaii. You'll lose your life around here for stuff like that. You're a class act.

Peace

He did a horrible job. Thats just lame. Just like the guy I sold my airbagged v6 stang to. It was a cool custom car and that was it... I had nice 3.8 emblems on it (yeah laugh now, but five years ago it was smokin' gt's and hittin switches ) The dumb *** put gt emblems on it when I sold it. You know what, emblems suck all together. If I could remove mine without stupid holes everywhere I would. Up with hope, down with dope!

Don't remove your emblems, you'll lose 50hp at the wheels for sure . Sadf, your L is sick. That is an example of a Lightning done right .

Peace

He may have done the L swap. Getting more common these days. While I don't like the Lightning emblems on the truck, I think the SVT emblems are a nice suttle touch.

Well, my pics suck, but he did have the Lightning emblem up front and the SVT on the back. If I could've got video, you might have heard it too (not your "everyone has Flowmaster") sound. Sounded great. The exhaust was dual out of each side behind the wheel. What caught me too was the breaks. They sure didn't look like painted stock on front and rear.
I guess stuffing an L engine might have been done, I just don't know. I'm sure there's more to an L other than stuffing an engine in it.
Again, I've been out of the loop for awhile. I was curious.

I agree with the whole "SVT emblem shouldn't be on anything but a SVT made vehicle", unless the vehicle has reason for that badging.

For instance: someone with a new body F150 replaces the 5.4 Triton engine with the SVT made 5.4 GT engine (or just the engine block). That would warrant SVT badging, but not Lightning badging, because it isnt a Lightning but it does have SVT tech inside.
