So know i have a LED interior, HIDS outside. But i dont know where else to go. I want to leave my moldings on because i live in the city and people like dinging my doors. So Moldings stay. Im leaning towards changing the emblems but dont know where to go for that. :crazy:

When you say emblems, do you mean like putting SS badges on it? (just an example) what kind are you wanting? Just curious have you done LED exterior lights yet?:undecided:

I have led reverse lights, license plate led, and the corner side markers. And i meant the emblems on the grill and back. :smile::undecided:

As roadie would ask, what is your mission (aka plan)? Sorry for the questions, but these will help point suggestions towards the right direction.

Street or off-road?

Above what point are you not comfortable going beyond skill-wise?

Is cost a factor?

As for the emblems, shave them off the lift gate is what I would do.

It has to stay street. Family car. Shared between me and my father.
Im fine to do anything.
Cost is usually not a factor.

if you are looking into lighting mods, look at HID's, plenty of options out there, just check out the many posts in appearance for ideas.

OK, street and a shared vehicle... Meaning nothing too extravagant... Got it.

Here are my suggestions....

A nice set of 18" wheels in black, gunmetal, or chrome. Or go with 20" TBSS replicas in the same color. Big enough to stand out, but have enough sidewall to not be a jarring ride. With the proper sized tire, no speedometer recalibration needed.

Add a few coats of engine paint to the calipers (please, please, please don't do red) to clean up the wheel area. Cross drilled rotors or even slotted only rotors are optional. While you are down there swap the sway bar bushings for prothane ones.

Simple mods for "instant gratification":

Paint the chrome grille strip to match body color.

Swap the rear wiper arm to 07+

Get the front door windows tinted (if legal in your area)

Do you have a picture of your truck? That could give us a good idea of what we are looking at :yes:
