THIS IS MY F-150 BEFORE ANY MODS. THIS IS THE ALMOST FINISHED PRODUCT.

THE FIRST STEP WAS TO PUT ON THE 03' MODEL MIRRORS WITH THE TURN SIGNALS .

THE NEXT STEP IN PROJECT LIGHTNINFIDE WAS TO TAKE OFF THE PLASTIC DOOR HANDLES AND INSTALL THE PAINTED ONES.

AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF THE NEW MIRRORS AND DOOR HANDLES, MY FRIENDS- MARK, MIKE, AND JASON- ASSISTED ME IN THE SANDING AND PAINTING OF MY NEW FRONT AND REAR BUMPER, AND GRILL FASCIA.

AS SOON AS ALL THE NEWLY PAINTED PIECES HAD DRIED, WE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN WORKING ON THE EXTERIOR MODIFICATIONS.

ANOTHER CHANGE THAT HAD TO BE MADE IS TO GET RID OF THE FACTORY STEEL WHEELS. I DECIDED TO GO WITH THE 2000 MODEL 18" BY 9 1/2" LIGHTNING WHEEL, ORDERED DIRECTLY FROM FORD ON EBAY. I ONLY HAD THREE TIRE TYPES TO CHOOSE FROM BECAUSE OF THE ODD WHEEL SIZE. I DECIDED TO GO WITH THE TOYO PROXES ST.

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE TRUCK WITH THE MODS THAT I HAVE ADDED SO FAR.

I DECIDED TO GO WITH THE EIBACH LOWERING SPRINGS AND SHACKLE MOUNTS TO GIVE THE TRUCK THE LIGHTNING STANCE I WAS LOOKING FOR.

I KNEW THAT THE TRUCK WOULD NEVER SUCCESSFULLY LOOK LIKE A LIGHTNING WITHOUT THE EMBLEMS SO I DECIDED TO PAY A VISIT TO MY OLE' BUDDIES AT MARSHALL MIZE FORD TO HOOK ME UP.

I JUST RECENTLY ADDED THE MATCHING, LOWER GRILL IN MY FRONT BUMPER HERE IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE I THINK IT LOOKS BETTER THAN THAT BIG HOLE

HERE ARE SOME UP TO DATE PICTURES OF THE TRUCK WITH THE LOWERING KIT EMBLEMS AND LOWER GRILL
