Thumbs up Painted my traction bars

I just painted my traction bars check em out. Will post some better pics tomorow.

With the flash you can see through the silver, but not with the naked eye.

Now they match the truck

Doesn't the body molding (ground effects) prevent you from seeing the bars from the side? No flame, just curious

Looks good I would suggest a nice coat of black on that rusted rear-end as well

HEHE thanks Spiro I noticed the same thing when I downloaded the pics onto my computer. The work just never stops on these trucks.

Fast Gator - Ya it is hard to see them from the side, but if you look at the wheel wells you can see them. Also if you are in a low car like a Vette or Slowmaro they can see them as I blow them away.

It also makes my truck a little different from all the other Lightnings

Thanks Johnny - I think they look Niceeeeeeeeeee too

They look great, like they were powder coated. Now go get a can of semi-gloss black Krylon and paint that rusty diff.

Thumbs up

Those look nice painted to match your truck. I considered offering custom paint on the Truck-Traks, but you really couldn't see them from outside.

I do have unpainted versions available to anyone who might want them.

Joe, how are they working for you?

Good Answer! Hey Don, your truck is way different (in a good way) than most Lightning!
