Those are my bedside letters I pulled to ceramic coat the paint. I generally prefer a de-badged look but I think I really like the look here

You can still claim credit for having the idea first!

Lol I was so tempted to share the idea but waskeeping it quiet until I could test the letter spread and see if itll work out. I guess you confirmed for me so thaks for being my beta tester and confirming i'm not going to be stuck with $160 worth of letters that cost 14 cents to make lol.

Ah! Nice Improvement! Ford really missed the mark on the front light bar. Too thick and not bright enough. I think it looks cheap. Hoping next gen looks sharper
I agree completely. I look at the '22 and '23 ICE trucks on the road and truly think the Lightning just got some idea left over from another year. They missed the mark with the Lightbar. I like the concept borrowed from the Cybertruck, but missed the mark on implementation.

Agreed. The lightbar just puts a light box around a bland grille (even on a platinum from a distance or when its dark). They should have implemented light features into the grille. Every time I look at it, i keep having flashbacks to the good old Mercury Sable. Maybe its a good thing Mercury isn't around anymore, because they'd bring out the ev Sabl-E... imagine the lightbar they'd put on that thing!

Now the Marauder E would be cool to see!

I wonder if it would look better on a Pro that doesnt have the light bar. Would be a little less subtle i think.

Guess I’m in the minority of liking the light bar.

Then again, it’s one reason I bought a white Lightning*** - lightbar looks best on white, to my eye.

***that and the reference to The Possum
