    So far, Window vents, Nerf bars, 6" BDS lift with Deep Lip 18x9 Fuel wheels, Fox 2.0's in the rear, Bilstein 5100 up front Standard Height with 4.5" strut spacer and 3/4" preload spacer. Crappy made in china smoke headlights that look ok in the daylight but no night vision. This is where I need some ideas for improvement. Would rather not buy the stock headlights for 650 but need better light output before I give to my kid to drive. Will continue to cruse around here and check out the mods. Hopefully find some after pics. Thanks in advance.

    Just did the ANZO (slightly Better Chinese made) headlight upgrade with the ccfl angel eyes and projectors. I cant believe how much better it is. Looks pretty good for only 290$. I think I will replace the bulbs to get a little cleaner light down the road but very happy with the results so far, just hope they last??? The 1100 and 1200 dollar headlight upgrades i've seen on here are really cool but I still have to work for a living and would rather spend the extra cash on more upgrades. So far I am very happy with the build choices. Truck is very fun to drive and gets lots of looks for a 130,000 mile 07 base model. Still weighing out some bumper upgrades or starting the performance upgrades on the motor and exhaust. Truck really runs good right now so I am a little Leary to touch it. 19 mpg highway and 15-16 in town. Any input would be much appreciated.
