Pictures of my Truck (Lightning Content)

[astrodudepsu]

Well I finally washed the thing, and here are the pictures.

Please don't give me crap about the pics themselves, I'm not a photographer.

The paint is far from perfect, but it's a 9 year old truck, and a semi-DD at that. All in all I'm pleased. I don't love the stock rims, but I haven't found a set that I'd be willing to drop the money on yet.

The engine bay is dirty, I know, I have to get on that. One thing at a time though.

only 4,546 miles!!! WOW......and i thought mine at 16,000 miles was low mileage. i assume your Lightning is a 2001 like mine?

 

[SLVRBLT]

Looks good. I think the paint can be restored with some TLC.

Any plans for it?

do this in the following order >

wash
clay bar
compound
polish
wax

always work from the top down. don't forget to bring that engine bay up to show quality. it looks really dried out. i would degrease it and then sauce the hell out of it. i like Meguiars products :thumbsup:

Then....

Hit it with some Back 2 Black or anything like that...
Tire Shine
Take those Visors off the windows & darken the tint
Lower that bad boy!!:banana:


PS- Most of us like to use a simple green diluted mixture and wipe down the wheel wells to make them black again. It will help a ton if you don't plan on lowering it soon.

Yea it's an 01. And even at 45k it's still low mile.

The tint is at the legal limit here in VA, and I like to keep shit legal. Last thing I need is hassle from the cops.

Thanks for the tip about the simple green, wouldn't have thought of that.
