    Find @CBoy808 thread on bedside decals. Ask for what you like. He does an awesome job!

    Oh, the other BIG thing, the scoop is not cool. You should definitely trade that to someone with a non scooped hood... like me, if it’s black and you live near MD j/k:anonymous:

    Enjoy your truck and welcome to TW!

    Sounds like there are a lot of wrong people in New England. Like the lobster rolls and clam chowder tho.

    Not by all Yankees! Maybe in the 'burbs of SW CT and the burbs around Boston, but not by us folks who know there was, and still is, some semblance of country in these parts.

    Damn...the day I brought my 2018 lowly V6 4x4 SR5 home with less than 50 miles on it, I thought it was cool as shit.

    Been over 2 years now and the only things I did to make it more cool to me was put a set of Sport wheels on it, swap out the grill for a "sure as hell not PRO grill" and added some more tint to the windows.

    Looking "cool" is subjective. Study what others have done and borrow ideas as YOU see fit. Don't let others tell you what's "cool." Be practical for your needs and budget - don't go radical 'cuz you can spend and lot of $$ and create any number of maintenance or troubleshooting issues you might not yet be ready for. Go for the simple (reversible) aesthetic stuff at first.

    JMNTBH* opinion.

    * = Just my never to be humble

    BTW - It's a Truck, not a effing 'car.'

    From the burbs of NY. I just say car too. It's just a generic term that I use for all passenger vehicles: mini-vans, SUVs, sedans. Might as well throw truck in there too. Calling it strictly a truck would feel like trying to flex with my midsize pickup over here. My Dad's Lexus has more HP :D Still love it though

    In the northeast they’re all called cars by many people. Trucks are semi’s.
    Car= vehicle in New England

    West of the Hudson ain't New England.

    I'm on the east of the Hudson but I wouldn't say I'm from New England either. Can't be associated with the Patriots :)

    Upgrading tires isn't too expensive, and really changes the look of your truck. New wheels might really set you back though. If you're looking for some cheaper, but aggressive-ish tires that won't break the bank, I'd recommend Goodyear Ultraterrains or Falken Wildpeaks. I believe that Sports can increase tire size to 265/70/17 without any modifications to suspension or wheel wells.
