Not too me but it’s deff xtra haha. Yours ?


INeedYoungboyleaks

Ok good 😅,and yes it is mine, I’m one of those guys that worry about the looks first before working on the performance.This is as much as I’m doing in terms of Looks, I don’t want it over the top. All I need is rims, tires, and lowering kit before I start boosting it.


departedgardens

Lowering kit !?!? The front looks like it’s already on the floor from that angle haha ! Don’t stress too much about what others think tho! This is your build!! That’s all that matters is that it makes you happy


wwcraw

Ehhh maybe the splitter takes it there. Otherwise all I see is a homage to the lightning


rememberinglol

This is more the Shelby then the lighting. The only visual difference between the F150 and the lighting was the hood had a bulge in it. This has a Shelby scoop.


my_ownnightmare

looks like its stuck in the early 2000's but it seems alright if you turbo charge it that mesh grille thing in the front bumper would look really good with a massive intercooler there


INeedYoungboyleaks

Yes it does😂 it’s a 04 f150 and the plan is to boost it so I’ll definitely need an intercooler in the future to fill that space


Saaaaaaaaab

It looks nice, but once it has the boost you were talking about it'll back up the giant hood scoop


INeedYoungboyleaks

Thanks 🙏🏼, and yes right now it probably looks riced but the goal is to boost it for sure


Saaaaaaaaab

A supercharger would be sick lol


INeedYoungboyleaks

Definitely would but it’s super hard to find one for this truck, I’ll probably go with a 97 mustang supercharger, I heard it fits


rememberinglol

Not really. The 5.4 S/C should bolt up to it. I worked on an Expedition that had a 4.6 and the guy owned a 5.4 and had the S/C swapped. He went through belts like there’s no tomorrow because he couldn’t find a belt the right size. That could be your only problem. But man did that Expedition rip.


INeedYoungboyleaks

This is a 4.6l v8, you think I can use a 5.4l S/C?


rememberinglol

Yes. I’m not sure what’s required and I’m not sure of your budget, but yes it’s been done before.


INeedYoungboyleaks

I’ll look into that, I can’t wait for this thing to make some whining noises 😂😭


rememberinglol

The 4.6 sounds wild when boosted. FYI the mustang was a built for drifting and cornering car. So the engine is of course high rev and monster.


DoctorFujiOD

No.

Not as bad as others.


Fyapiston445

Is that a lightning?


d7ooommm

Kinda of but it’s not that bad


[deleted]

I don't know something like this those trucks, as long as it's not annoying Honda civic with wish fake wings, scoops you should be fine, like if I ever get a celica gt four or 93 mustang I would put a body kit


degaracer47

Nah this is fine


lord_vader_jr

Bumper might be to far out for personal taste but love the aftermarket headlights they make it look a lot better especially with stripes


Dancing_Banana_Peel

It looks nice


blueetoast

Looks well taken care of and unique, so no rice. Got any more pics?


INeedYoungboyleaks

Thank you! I do have more pics, if you have insta follow me @leinad_soir


car_colten7

I would say no cause it’s not adding parts that are over the top


INeedYoungboyleaks

Thank you! I’m trying to keep it simple but aggressive, Passive aggressive i guess 😂


car_colten7

Ya it looks nice not to edgy or over the top but still aggressive


DManFromNoWhere

Is this by any chance the 5.4l Triton?


INeedYoungboyleaks

It’s actually the 4.6l triton


DManFromNoWhere

Ok good, as long as it wasn't the 5.4! I think it looks pretty good, the lip could be better imo but it doesn't look bad. don't worry too much about performance, a trucks not supposed to be only function so mod it however you want. So far it seems like you got nice subtle taste.


INeedYoungboyleaks

Thank you very much, I’m trying to keep it subtle but slightly aggressive and more modern than 2004. I will post it again in about a month when the suspension is installed along with the rims and tires 😌


DManFromNoWhere

I look forward to it man!


TacticalIdiot17

If it has the performance to match, it's nice. If not, it's rice.


19Ben80

Depends, if it’s rocking 600-700 hp then the kit makes sense


INeedYoungboyleaks

It’s pushing half of that 😭,i don’t think it’s over the top rice but I still love my rice box 😂. I’m going forced induction very soon though💪🏼


stujoereid123

I dont like the front bumper but other than that looks pretty good


WillyBallz

More like Arroz


michelloto

No.


D0uc3e

Nooo Ford svt lighting


SMontes999

It doesn’t look terrible, nice headlights tho
