Hi guys, taking suggestions on how I can improve the look of my 09!

Should I plasti dip the chrome on the wheels and the grille ?

That’s all personal preference man. One person will say all black. One person will say lift it. One person will say it’s perfect now.

 

Find your nearest Auto Zone and drop a $100 on car accessories.

In all seriousness, I have to agree, figure out what you want for your truck to look like and do.

 

Check all the fluids and see what hasnt been done to it maintenance wise.

 

Personally, I like the style of your wheels. They're already black with the machine finish ring. I wouldn't call that chrome. As for the grille, I would paint it black but I would be the last person to ask to choose between black vs any other color. I'm trying to now add color to my all black truck.

 

Another option for the grille would be a new mesh grille.

 

Looks dope the way it is man. Satoshi grill would be cool. Maybe a prinsu rack if you have the need for it. You could always restore the headlights for cheap and buff them out. Honestly it’s a truck, they age with beauty. You look at sports cars and if you see one that’s 5 years old it looks dated. Trucks just get cooler with age in my opinion.

 

Nice truck as is. Im not a fan of white lettering on tires.

 

I dont think you'll hear anyone here advocate plasti-derp.
after you ensure mechanically, she's sound...id look at grill alternatives. possibly new headlights/fog lights. but find a vision for what you want it to look like then base your list on that

 

- BHLM
- Paint match grill
- Honeycomb OEM grill
- Plastidip lower bumper valence
- Leave the wheels alone
- Wheel spacers
- Lift kit for sure, it all depends on what you want.

 

Like my father used to say, “Leave it be”...

 

Sure you will. Plenty of lovers around............

Not my style, but the "I hate chrome" crowd is still going strong.

 

Take another picture of your truck with a bikini model .... just saying.

 

No. Plasti dip is a poverty mod. Looks tacky as shit.

I’d go paint matched mesh grille.

 

A skid plate, light lift, sliders or side bars of some kind and stickers

 

It's all personal preference.
I'm not a fan of chrome at all. I think trucks looks better with no decals, chrome or badges. White lettering on tires is not a good look on a truck.
I used bedliner to do my grill , bumpers , and fender flares.
Prep is everything. Take your time and do it right the first time. It will last a long time.

 

Sometimes great art takes two people - one person to be the artist and one to take the canvas away before the artist fucks it up any further.

 

Wheels will update the truck the most.

Off-road bumpers will make the most difference from an “aggressive” perspective.

A satoshi or similar grill will also make a difference.

 

That's the move, right there.
