I dont know if theres any other threads about this but I would like to know what will be involved in converting my front to a Lightning front? Is it a direct replacment and bolt on or will I need a whole new reinforcment? I'm just hoping its a matter of ditching the stock bumper, buying fogs & putting the bumper cover on haha. I've also considered the early model Harley lower valance but Lightning front would be most prefered. Any help appreciated

 

I believe it's a direct replacement.

 

Mine has a the Lightning "bumper" underneath the bumper cover - some have said the bumper cover will fit directly on to the SCrew bumper with a little modification (removing some trim pieces).

 

you should get the headlights first, jk man

So its basicaly like a fit over the stock your saying? hmm I like the way your truck looks kinda got me turned for the Lightning front bumper.

 

haha i'm saving up for them first man

 

i am dying to do this myself. LightningCrew's truck looks great. (i have the pic saved in my computer)
i have the headlights already. just need a good source for the bumper cover.

and hope that it will go over my chrome bumper.

 

Thanks man, I am quite proud of it myself. I have spent a lot of time and money on it. However, it appears I might be getting rid of it in the near future. Wife is looking for a new car and when she does, I am taking her '01 BMW X5. The truck overall has been pretty good - had quite a few issues in the beginning and am currently on my third tranny, but I will be the first to admit that I am not the easiest of drivers. With an approx. 100-mile roundtrip daily, I am quickly approaching 170K miles on it and am ready for a change. I would like to keep it as a 3rd vehicle, but I really do not have room to keep it and I don't want to let it sit out and deteriorate outside. Plus the X will do everything the truck will do - actually more considering it is all-wheel drive.

 

I did the conversion to a 97...its real simple there are four brackets you buy from ford and then you remove the trim pieces and install the brackets then the cover/.

 

I just happen to have a extra 99 Lightning lower fascia in my garage.......

 

really..... how interesting... haha, if its up for sale, how much? ( hopefully no more than $150? ) does the lower bumper grill come with ( and what kind is it? I will replace it with a billet grill though ) and is it painted?

 

any pics?? how much do you want?

 

haha ok let the out bidding begin

I'll pay $150 for it and $40 - $50 on shipping so should even out to $200. and yeah do you have any pics or info on that?

wanna contact me about it

Ill get some pics of it this weekend guys, i have the lower, and upper grill inserts also, the fascia is black, and will need repainted, it has some chips around the fog lamp openings....

 

I have the L bumper on my Truck. Just remove all the plastic black trim peices and you will need two additional support brackets and it fits directly over the chrome bumper. I also have the upper and lower grille inserts and headlights and tail-lights. The rims from 01 have ben added and I even found a company in CA that sells ground effects fo the supercrew that look like stretched lightning ground effects. I essentially have a 4 door look alike with out the engine.

Good luck with you project. Here is a pic



one more before the pinstripes and ******* tonneau
