Blue Raptor Shots

Sweet truck :D

Still hate the grille and those graphic belong in the 80s.

Those tail gate emblems should be near the bottom edge, not in the trim like that, looks like an afterthought.

^ Yeah, not a fan of the front grill either. I don't know what purpose those three little LED (?) lights in the grill itself serve. Kinda "ricey" IMHO. I like that shade of blue on the truck though.

they need them to be road legal due to the width of the truck
 
Yeah, I don't like the little lights either, but it is better than the extremely lame alternative of putting semi truck style lights on the roof.
 
I dig the LED's. It makes the truck unmistakable when it's coming up behind you at night. Plus, as mentioned, they're mandatory.
 
I like the orange/green paint like the one at the NAIAS. They are pretty fun to drive and the 6.2 moves out well for a big truck.....or so I'm told. :D
 
I do like them better in that quick chop putting them at the bottom, I think part of it is that were used to seeing badges down there, I know that's where they were on Lightnings and that is where they are on all the GMs. I don't know that there's really anything wrong with them being in the middle.
 
I'm not a big fan of the lines in the tailgate, but that's a minor complaint. I'd take a black on black with the big engine. What do they weigh?
 
I seen pics of this thing about 2 years ago when i was working at the dearborn truck plant. I told the engineers its nice but when they gonna make a lightning truck again. I'm glad to see they came out with it, just wish instead of being laidoff from fords dearborn truck plant, I wish can be part of the action again. being laidoff sucks
 
needs bigger wheels,remove the ghey graphics,bigger/different exhaust,tint everything and actually give it some h.p...otherwise its sweet :)

is that the metro lofts leasing office btw? I was there the other day looking for info on them. do you live there DBK? how u like it? ive been looking into buying a loft enow that prices have dropped into my rang
 
It is the old metro lofts lease building. I don't live there, and I'm not a huge fan the building or its units. Unless you live in one of the two penthouses (which are both occupied) they all have shit floorplans and cheap building materials. I'm making that sound worse than it is, but I wouldn't want to live in most of the units.

I live close by and I barely hear the train. When I'm at my boys penthouse, it's like the train is in the fucking room with you. He had dozens of interior leaks from the ceiling that ruined some very expensive furniture. The built in grill on the deck wasn't anchored properly and warped the shit out of the boards. Other than that, totally worth the $17k a year in property taxes. :lol:

The second building is all rental at this point. The original building is all individual owned or rented that I know. Seems pretty full in the rental building, but I heard they just dropped the prices. $1200 for the 2 bedroom, which seems like a good deal if you split rent, until you see that the second bedroom walks directly into the kitchen and the walls aren't ceiling height and any shenanigans will be heard house wide.
