Opinions on this body kit....

A friend of mine has a nice low mileage ford lightning...I think around 20,000 original miles...he bought it a few months ago off a collector...its all original...and looks like new...he told me hed like to make a show truck out of it...i told him that would be pretty cool you got a nice ride to work with...well a little while ago he sent me this link of a body kit he found....though the pic is a 4 door the kit fits a 2 door ....i told him i wasn't to crazy about it...he seemed to get mad...Im sure he will order it anyway //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif ...Does anyone else like this? Or am I the only one that don't ?

Almost did that for my 4runner.. but figured a mud covered redneck rallycar blasting gangster rap was enough for people to wrap their heads around.

 
I guess Im the only one here who never liked that body style of F-150's. Way too rounded, trucks should have straight, squared lines. The round taillights, the aero-sculpted body lines that look like its a nascar-wannabe.... that's not how a truck should look imho. Ive seen a few of those body styles done up that look.... okay. And the lightning looks... okay (probably because I know its a decent performer, and its a street truck so the looks get past me a bit more). But for the most part, I think those bodies look like ass. Especially the stepside, the tail lights on those are laughable.

No offense to anyone here who has one or likes them, just my personal opinion.

I think they're one of the best looking ones, especially with the step side lol. Guess we agree to disagree:D

I agree. I do not like the euro tails the factory installed, but that is a simple/cheap fix. Other than that, like someone else said, I would lower it, find some nice rims, maybe a new exhaust that spilled out the same way the factory made it..... I would do simple, non-permanent changes, just so that you can still take it back to factory with ease and any time. Lightnings are the stuff. Chevy Silverado SS's are a little cooler, but the SRT-10, IMO, can have a seat. I prefer the rounded street truck to the boxes for the most part with the exception of the SS.

Agree, not a sidestep fan on any trucks.

I guess I expect to actually use my truck as, well a truck. So side steps which take away from the bed area and lowering a truck make absolutely no sense to me.

But to each their own.
