I bought this truck August 7th this year. On Aug 23rd I curbed it pretty hard. It blew the 2 right tires and shattered 2 of the rims. Luckily, no other damage. Since then, I’ve been all in making the look I had visioned when I got it.

And here it is. I call it The Stormtrooper Package. 😎

2023 Lightning Lariat ER w/ following mods:

-Rear lowered/ leveled on Belltech 25001’s
-Ford BAP 20’s
-Tint: All sides 15%, roof and windshield 70% w/ 5% strip, uni-lightbar and side mirror indicators PPF dark gray.
-Taillights and bar paint smoked
-Morimoto third brake light
-Stubby antenna
-Black w/ Lightning Blue highlights F150 inserts
-US flag decal center rear window
-Miami Heat hitch cover 🔥 🏀
-Ford accessories lit front emblem
-White carbon look vinyl grill inserts

Besides some black lug nuts and waiting for my stealth subwoofer from Sounds Good to get here, I think this truck is pretty much done. I absolutely love it!

Not a huge fan of the striped grill… but hey, it’s not my truck. The rest of it looks sweet. Nice work!

That front view is killer, way to make a white truck look far less plane. What did you smoke the lightbar with. I have a feeling I'm going to hate the milk white light bar when my atlas blue arrives.

Thanks! The front is paint protection film. Light passes through fairly well. There are some edges that are not covered. But it’s not a show truck. I’m happy with the way it turned out. The rears I removed and had painted, clear coated and polished at a local shop. I’ll get some night pics tonight.

Did you get the taillight recall done before you had it smoked? Or perhaps yours wasn’t included in the recall.

Honestly, I didn’t know anything about it until you just mentioned it and I then looked it up. Guess I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for the heads up.

Ditto, although I think it might look neat with just the top bar matching the truck.
