I have black 5.0 badges that are just waiting to be installed, hopefully next weekend! Still undecided the pony on the grill.

Grill would definitely be more to do work wise...mine has a black pony, look back through the thread and you'll see...will give you a better idea if you want to go that route. [MENTION=28654]Nagare[/MENTION] has a blue pony in his grill so check out his pics too.

2018 Lightning Blue GT Premium PP
Here's a shot of my '18 GT Premium PP shortly after I bought her. I'll get some better pics after a proper bath now that the weather is cooperating.

I had a Lightning Blue F-150 and fell in love with the paint color.

Strictly my personal opinion, but when I first saw LB in person I was underwhelmed. The color did nothing for me and I was disappointed that DIB was discontinued. I was planning on getting an '18 GT convertible and after owning a black '14 GT 'vert black I had had it with dark finishes. As much as I liked Kona, I wanted a lighter brighter color, and for a time I considered RR.

Then I saw LB with the Black Accent package. Game changer for me.

It's always been my contention that the right wheel/tire combo defines the look of a car. It's amazing what black wheels and emblems do for a color I wasn't crazy about. I'm currently awaiting awaiting an ETA on a LB GT.

First time out with a 275 square set up, Federal RS-RR 275/35-19 on SVE GT7 19x10's. I may turn these wheels into my daily set up as I love they way they look.

Didn't get the blackout package at purchase, but I'll probably purchase the gloss black emblem package later on. The chrome emblems are growing on me for the time being. I do think the gloss black will look sharp with the black wheels that come with the PP.

Agreed there. When I was shopping around for my 2017 I wanted Lightning blue with satin or polished rims...I never really liked black rims. Shopped around, saw there was a Lightning Blue with the black out package 5 miles from me, but elected to drive 200 miles away to check out a different mustang with satin rims. Couldn’t get a good deal on that one, so I came back home and the next day I was debating on whether or not to waste 20 minutes driving to check out the LB with the black out package near me.

After going back and forth in my head on it for a couple hours, I decided to go check it out. I’ll never forget pulling into the lot and seeing that car with everything blacked out...right away I knew it was my car. I thought they did an excellent job with the rims on the black out package too...my only complaint is they’re a little narrow but I’ll never change them out.

Also, looks like Lightning Blue will not continue into the 2019 model year, based on the 2019 Order Guide thread.

The bonnet scoops look like they are meant to be there, very integral, not a bolt on afterthought. The splitter/s look a bit overdone, but the car looks very nice.
