    Welcome to TW!

    Remove the damn air dam. Free and makes your truck look like its lifted a bit in the front.

    Yellow lamin-x for fogs?

    Welcome! First step is to realize you have a truck, not a car as your title suggests.

    Then, tint windows or get new wheels or new headlights or anything else you can do to all vehicles.

    Your truck isn't "cool" until you get one of these, paint the truck yellow and put stickers and a fart can on it.

    Thank you for all the comments. I will remove the AIR DAM. What I mean cool is just to look good. Kinda like the ford Raptor. By looking at a raptor it just looks like monster truck :). So something similar to that style. Replacing Rim and Tire will cost too much. Something less expensive and ez to replace or addon.

    So far I got the following:
    1. Tinted windows = done
    2. TRD Pro grille = Will purchase one
    3. Remove AIR DAM = will be doing it

    What other stuff can I add ? like lights? maybe?

    thanks

    Different grilles really change the look of trucks (for good or bad) for relatively little cost.
    Otherwise a lift, different wheels, and bigger tires transform the look for lots of dollars.
