From Transport Evolved.
Way back when Nikki picked up her original F150 Lightning in 2022, she earned some ‘points’ with Ford’s points program to spend on accessories and equipment at her local Ford dealership.
And either through tackiness or boredom (we’re not entirely sure which), she opted to get a ‘free’ Putco Emblem (https://www.ford.com/product/lighted-ford-oval-front-halogen-led-reflector-for-vehicles-with-front-camera-p2797935143) – which she’d planned to get installed on Adira Tal "When She Had Time".
Her first F150 Lightning came and went… and now she’s got a replacement F150 Lightning. And -finally, after nearly 3 years, she’s ready for the upgrade…
But is it Slay or Nay?

(In our modification, we used the original wiring we got with the F150 Lightning variant to extend the original loom – and we also completely removed the original ‘branch’ wire where the old cables came off).
