Nice truck man. Good color. I like the silver lightnings the best. It will look great with that drop.

Got some updated pics since I bought it. Exterior changes include new 20x9 rims on 295/45/20 tires, removed the billets for a Harley mod grill and clear corners. It will be lowered a few inches soon :) All the power mods being done on Aug. 12th.

Thanks Dustin! I was looking for black w/polished and was thrilled to find this set locally. I lose a little performance with the 20s being a bit heavier but that will be resolved in 2 weeks :supz:

It's my daily driver for now, so I don't plan to lower it much. There's construction and the occasional tire debree on the roads, so I need some clearance.

Nice photochop though!

I think the truck looks sharp! If that's your daily driver what do you have up your sleeves for your project??

Nothing at the moment. I plan to build the Lightning over the next 2 years. By that time, I will take my wifes Saab 9-3 for my daily driver, and she will have some sort of 2 door convertible, and the L will be weekend toy only :bigthumb:

I pick up the LM1 and digital gauge tomorrow, so I will let ya know what I think of it. I wanted something that was dead-on accurate, not a narrow band a/f light show gauge. I had an autometer A/F gauge in my RX7 and it was next to useless.
