I am not a fan of red, but, this looks really, really good. Nicely done. Do you mind telling us how much the wrap cost?

Really like what you did with the Platinum wheels. Any close up pics of what it looks like?

They are actually black and iridescent in the pockets

I am reminded of it every time I have to use the front camera. I used the Ford provided bracket and still blocks part of the view.

More details please on how you did the lights. Is that film or paint? Any tips on the process is appreciated.

My painter removed them and kept only the front facing part unpainted. Everything else got blacked out and then clear coated. The rears are painted over with tinted clear coat.

Love it. Thinner always looks more classy to me.

This helps a lot. Really appreciate it.

This looks sofaking good. Super tempted to do something similar to my antimatter blue, though doubtful I’d spring for the PPF as I’m too cheap.

Did you consider smoking the light bar instead? My least favorite part of the entire truck is how cheap the plastic looks (though looks much better on yours).

I did that first. Looked great in the day and terrible at night.

Thx for sharing.

Great job on yours - you’ve made your Lightning look as cool as many of us hope to do to ours.

Time for me to take the range hit and do the lift and ATs, and presumably copy your light bar. Thx for sharing and please do post a pic or two from nighttime when you have

Do you have any pics of the tinted light bar at night? I agree that it looks great in the day, especially in the Platinum trim, but I’m not sure I have seen it at night. I was planning on tinting the light bars when I receive my Platinum. It has shipped already, so hopefully soon!

To echo everyone else’s feedback, your truck looks awesome!

I didn’t keep photos of it. I did the painted version because wrapping with tint is not perfect due to all the edges, bends and corners. So mine was sprayed with a tinted clear coat. When the light was on it looked uneven and blotchy. Thanks for the compliment!

Looks fantastic! Completely different looking truck. Well done.

How is the difference in ride quality with the 2 inch pucks on the front suspension?

I was really surprised at how “normal” and the same it feels as before I did it. I expected the tires to be loud and rougher riding too, but I took advice of others and ensured they were properly inflated for pavement and the whole set up rides really well. I’m impressed.

That’s great. What tire pressure are you running on pavement?
