What do you think should I 24k gold plate my chrome on my Red Lightning? Did it on my mustang and it looked great. Tried to get my flowmaster system installed by they had to order the muffler. It should be in in about a week.

My Advice is to leave it alone. It already catches the of all.

Have a white Lightning and gold plated the Lightning on side and gold plated the blue ovel. Looks a hellav lot better than silver

Just my .2cents worth

 

SCOTTODOG, Which flowmaster did you order and how much?

I beleive they ordered a 50 series racing two in two out muffler. I'll get the exact model and post it when it comes in.

Did someone just use the words - gold plate and lightning - in the same sentence? I hope not.

You may want to add some hydraulics and 13" gold wire wheels while you're at it.

I'm only talking about highlighting the emblems with gold it looked good on my GT. The gold does look better than chrome. I know what you guys are talking about I've seen those trucks too.

no offense, but most of the vehicles I've seen with gold plating remind me of a pimp-mobile. If it's done with taste, and not too much, perhaps it will look nice, until someone steals it. my 0.02!

I went to Summit Racing's TruckFest '99 last weekend outside Akron, Ohio. IMHO, the best looking truck there was a flamed '99 Lightning. The bumper and area around the grill were all white and the flames went back half way across the doors. They even blended in the 'Lightning' emblem. Very nice, but I'm to chicken to have it done to mine.

 

NO GOLD TRIM !

Hey the 13" gold wire wheels do sound good. But they have to stick out of the wheel wells at least a foot of so. LOL

And don't forget to stick on all those LUND accessories! The more the better right?

Almost as important as the 13" gold wheels that stick out one foot.... You can't forget to get some gold fender trim pieces.
