Has anyone found a hitch cover that seems to match up with the Lightning bolt logo on the truck at all? I don't want to just use a Tampa Bay Lightning logo hitch cover or a Flash superhero logo. It would be nice to find one that matches up with the branding on the truck or is just a simple lightning bolt shape. I do not want/need it to light up.

I am making a hitch cover out of the Hood Emblem for a '53 to '56 Ford F-100 pickup. I never noticed the lightning bolt on it until recently. Could it be the genesis of the Lightning name?

That emblem is amazing. We need these with the background in the truck color. T-shirt would be awesome as well.

Actually, I'm now thinking of putting this hood emblem on the hood of my Lightning.

I'll have to figure out how to get the underhood frunk ceiling panels off the metal hood to access the hood's underside mounting point, and then to make a 3-D print backing plate that'll match both the top front of the hood and the angled back of this emblem.

...(sigh) yet another Lightning mod project... :crackup:

I was looking for a hitch cover myself but couldn't find anything I liked so I started designing my own to 3D print. My thought is because there is really nothing in the back identifying it as a lightning other than a small logo that nobody other than lightning owners know, I wanted to have the lightning text back there. In order to cover the receiver, it would be pretty long to proportionally only have the text so I needed to add some height to the design. I haven't settled on anything yet but these are my ideas so far. I Would love honest opinions or ideas.
