Cosmetic Mods

I added a few little cosmetic mods. Check out my galley and give me some feedback. I will take some better photos this weekend. Added the wing and wiper cowl cover. Not sure if I posted pics of the wheels before or not. More refinements to come. Not sure if I will keep this cowl cover on or go the smooth route.

they really arent my taste. the wing is to busy looking and the cowl cover makes you truck look bullet proof. i do like the billet fuel door.

wing isn't that bad, gives it a little more character and isn't TOO big. i like the rims, something different than just 5 spokes. not too fond of the wiper cowl though, i guess its the way it bubbles out or something But the truck's lookin good

Seats are fully functional. Move forward/back, recline, and inflatable lumbar.

Silver-Bolt,
You do some original and different mods.
Some people will like them and some will not.
I think the rims look great, and I have never seen that type of rim on a Lightning before (original)
I think the hard cover and wing looks great, as well as the billet fuel door and fog lights.
The interior is just plain awesome..............You did a very good job with that.
As far as the wiper cowl goes, I think it would look much better with one of the low profile smooth ones. I hate to say anything negitive about anyones ride but the cowl doesn't add to the rest of the awesome work that you have done. It takes away in my opinion.
Keep up the great work....
Bill

The outside is fn ugly. How ever not all is lost, the interior is nice. This is just my personal opinion.

I love the seats. I have the bucket seat conversion. I think the console cover would complement the seats and interior more so if you had it covered to match the seats or at least black. I have the a fiberglass smooth cowling and I do like it much better than the stock one. Painted to match it makes the truck nose appear just enough longer to get rid of the snub nose look. While the cowling you have does hide the wipers I prefer the stock type. Your's has sort of an industrial thing going. I wonder if the factory will ever find a way to hide the wiper arms lower behind the cowling. Everything else looks great. Even the ? Porsche sitting next to it in the garage.

Ever thought about tryin' a windshield banner over the smooth cowling.....just a thought.

I love everything about your truck except the rims and the wiper cowl. The wheels are original but not to my taste, but I'm a die hard five spoke fan so not to many rims are appealing to me anyway. the wiper cowl add's a strange look to it and I can't tell what it is.


the reast is just awesome, especially the viper seats and the center console. If I could find a cente console anywhere I would like to get mine done also, HAHAHAHHAHAH

So far the cowl is not growing on me. I will give it a few days but I think a smooth painted stock one will be the ticket. The wheels are TSW and they are a little lighter than stock and the clear the big brakes that go on next. Shop e-bay for the seats. A dodge dealer in Texas listed these, they were new in the box. The car in the garage is a 2001 BMW 330i. The carbon fiber tube is actually a Dinan CAI for the BMW. I was just sizing it up. I do plan to put in a black carpet kit and cover the console lid in black leather. I like to use some of the ideas I find here and try some new stuff of my own. Some I like some not so much. New grill mod coming soon as well. Watch out it will be original.
