Nice pickup!

 

[Serpent]

I'm not familiar with lightnings, but is that a different front bumper? Also, I thought the exhaust on the sides are on both sides of the truck?

Nice L, would love to own a sonic blue L.

Those trucks are bad ass. My boy had one with a kenne bell with 2 stages of nitrous. That L hurt so many feelings back in the day it was disgusting.

Nice! I like me a Lightning!

That is the stock front bumper and the exhaust only comes out the passenger side.

Very nice truck man! Welcome to the L family. I drive mine all the time these days and my gt500 gets the back seat sad to say. Congrats!

Nice man! Love the way the wheels look on there. What are they?

 

[CobraBob]

Congratulations! That is a very clean and good looking Lightning. Love the color, too. Enjoy it!

 

[Blk04L]

Very nice truck

How are the 4.11's?
Sure it has a lot of low end kick with 500+Rwtrq and those gears.

 

[SLVRBLT]

Nice man! Love the way the wheels look on there. What are they?

Stock 99-00's wheels.

I had the 03-04's wheels on my '02 L. I do miss my truck sometimes.

 

[2KBlackGT]

Those trucks have a timeless design, love it!

I'll be in the market for a house next year and therefor I'll probably need a truck. What are these going for now?

 

[99cobraUgotbit]

Get one of those wire covers for the far left. Makes it look much cleaner. Also a EGR delete


Any plans/mods?

 

[Mr. Mach-ete]

Super sweet! Damn near identical to the '00 VR I owned. She raped many unsuspecting victims @ the red light.

I thought they looked like them but still looked slightly different so I wasn't sure.

congrats :beer:

 

[SVT-BansheeMan]

What are these going for now?

depends on mods and mileage. Check the market section here on LR forums to get an idea. In general, the value keeps doing down slowly from what ive seen over the years.
