Thumbs up Installed billet grille and chrome wheels

The tires and chromed wheels arrived today after making their week long journey from Michigan to Arizona. Couldn't wait to get home and put them on. The tires and wheels were in absolutely perfect condition and I think they put the finishing touch on it. Very, very happy. Thank you once again Cruiser!!
Took some pics but they did not turn out so well as the sun was going down and it does not show the grill to well. First pic was a little over a year ago within days after I got my Lightning. Second picture is with 2" Aim drop shackles,Trenz billet grille, clear corners, snuglid, and chrome wheels.
Brand new

One year later

Lets see if this shows more detail

Looks Awesome with the chrome rims. Did you put new rubber on the new rims too? I have a white Lightning and would like to see what it looks like with chrome rims. Pictures anybody.

Mark 2kL,
I think I want to hang on to the grills, as in the future I might update to a newer L, so unfortunately I would not want to sell. I don't know if you have checked at your local dealer, but I would not imagine that a lower grill would be too terribly expensive?

cobra99,
I purchased the wheels with the F1's mounted and balanced from one of our board members (Cruiser). He sold it to me as a package deal for $1050. They only had 2,000 miles on them and look absolutely brand new.

That is beautiful! I have been toying with the thought of getting a billet grille and chrome wheels but I think you just made up my mind for you. It looked so good I had to set it as my wallpaper! Where did you get the rims? Thanks!

hey Peter looks great! BTW I saw you driving on the 51 yesturday in your "L" around 5pm. You were going south just under that bridge after you go past 32st. I saw a red "L" with the new billet grille. I knew it was you. I forgot to ask where did you order it from?

I ordered the billet grille from the Online Store. It is the Trenz brushed aluminum finish.

Hey Pete - Those chromies look great on red! Wish they looked that good on white!


cobra99 - chromies don't look as good on white - trust me on this one!
