New Guy with New Lightning
Hello everyone. After reading these forums for the longest times and owning a bronco, 3 explorers and 2 rangers I finally decided to go for what I really wanted .... today I picked up my new 2003 Gray Lightning. Man that is some machine.. grinned like a kid when I drove it home. I now know what all you people have been talking about this whole time.... and thats only after owning it for 12 hours. First question..how dirty do those light gray seats get? Any seat cover recommendations? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks..
Thanks..

I've had my 03 DSG for a couple months now and if you take some measures the seats seem to stay pretty clean.
After jet skiing, I now change versus riding back on a towel.
After doing stadiums and working out I change shirts and ride on a towel. The area that will get nasty the quickest will be the front left corner of the drivers seat, right where the back of your knee rests, it will have constant contact with the oil, sweat, etc. off your body.
Wet Okeole (think that's how you spell it) supposedly makes good seat covers...

Thanks for the input. This truck has been such a thrill to drive. I am 46 and must be going through some midlife crises. Last few vehicle purchases were so close to a porsche or a vette ..but always end up at the ford dealer and have loved each choice, but this has been THE truck of choice since 1999 for me but never had the ba**s till now ........

Even though I do have the mighty V-10, I would run away with my tail between my legs if you pulled up next to me at the light. So yes, now you are officially a dog, have a good day,,, hahaha

Thanks to all. I am already trying to decide on cosmetic mods ( custom hood, stainless grilles ). This week was a drop in bedliner and threw in some new Alpine speakers in the fronts to get a little better sound. Actually did wonders without killing the wallet.
Its like buying a Harley .......... you have to personalize it ..make it yours ..love it
