Wallpaper #10: 2005 "Heritage Limited" Lightning

OK, been a long time since wallpaper #9 came out, so I thought I'd cobble something together really quickly (I have another wallpaper cooking in the oven already). Nothing really crazy this time, just a concept for what a 2005 "Heritage Limited" Lightning might look like if Ford decided to throw us a bone (now that they "canceled" the next Lightning) by scraping up some leftover spare parts and adding some other unique touches and colors in a conservative/cheap package (maybe $4,000 additional for special brakes and suspension components?). Yes I know production stopped months ago, but a guy can dream, can't he?

Mild cosmetic modifications might include:

- Special paint colors (see below) available for 2005 only
- Body color painted trim (bumpers, step pads, bed caps, mirrors)
- Smoke-tinted headlight and taillight lenses
- Satin silver upper and lower grill finish
- Staggered 22" "chrome shadow" smoke multi-spoke wheels (22"x10" front, 22"x11" rear)
- Stainless exhaust tips

Mechanical modifications might include:
- Sport suspension
- Big brake kit
- 390 horsepower supercharged 5.4-liter V8


Hi-resolution (1600 x 1200) versions:

1600 x 1200: Emerald Green

1600 x 1200: Violet Metallic

1600 x 1200: Topaz Blue

1600 x 1200: Slate

1600 x 1200: Sunset Orange

1600 x 1200: Laser Red

1600 x 1200: Anthracite Metallic

1600 x 1200: Pearl White


Emerald Green


Violet Metallic

SWEET! I like it, good ideas. Should have posted it about 6 months ago, maybe Ford would have taken notice.

Haha NO! Because the Ford SVT "Heritage Limited" Lightning is only available in the above colors!

Color changes are hard but maybe I'll play with a couple more later on. Getting ready for Valentine's stuff this evening so I may not have time until tomorrow.

Hey man, how many Subaru ricers did you kill to acquire the amount of BBS rims required for your little project here?

Very nice, your expertise at photo shop is top notch. I have a little gripe though, I think the exaust protrudes too far out from the side skirt, but over all the pics are great. I would love one in DSG for my wall paper

Yeah, I based this on a photo of my own truck obviously, and my tips stick way out since I installed the hi flow cats:



I like it that way, but I hear more *pings* from rocks bouncing off them.
