OK .. here goes.

A 4.6 Lightning clone? Seriously? That must truly be embarr***ing lining up against all those Turbo Lada's - and losing.

Cheap PnP HID bulbs (blue, no less) in factory fluted housings look like ***, glare ridiculously, and offer poor real output.

You must have burned off ALL of the fog, 'cause I don't see any, so those fog bulbs must be workin' REAL good, lol

Oh yeah: "you still need to colormatch yer truck n cowl hood"

Not bad. I'd do some L heads, a HD style valance, and ditch the rear wing.

maybe I'm missing something, but where does he ever call it a lightning clone? It doesn't even look like a Lightning clone attempt; expy valance+HD wheels = lightning clone? Looks to me like a work in progress that, like Raptor says, has lots of potential.

Now - in my mail-order Chinglish class that thar is whut's knowed as an 'inferred contraction' that resolves to: "Any and All comments welcomed".

Otherwise, the OP would have specified ONLY Positive comments welcomed

My bad on those very nice wheels though - so I stand corrected - Lightning clone with HD wheels

It's all good

Nice truck, definitely has potential but ditch the rice lights.
