So i take it new hub and spindles were done to put the New wheels on.

The wheels were drilled out with a 11/16 drill bit and used flat washer style lugs. The center bore on the Gen 2's is the exact same on the gen 1. The Gen 1 has a 5x139.7 bolt pattern while the gen 2 is 5x135. So it doesn't take much to make them fit. Never had a problem. Many L owners have done this. I havn't seen anyone change hubs or spindles ever.

The tailgate and the hood have marble pearl beneath the clear. Kinda like a bowling ball effect. PPG 9300 black with PPG mulberry mint pearl marbelized. Take care of it Tony!

Def one of the nicest gen I's i've seen. I like the gen II wheels, what are you replacing them with?

My roomie (goindeafonmtx) just got a lightning to replace his dd gt as well. I'm sure he'll post up some pics, it's a freakin nice truck.

I was looking at a 93kmi Lightning to trade my car for but the guy sorta fell out of touch. We emailed back and forth and I promised him pics after it came out of paint, but he stopped emailing back.

Nice truck, I remember it from NLOC
