    Plastidip the emblems and maybe the valence black. Color match the grill but if your like me you can save about a 130 bucks and just plastidip the grill too!

    Nice new truck! It's just about like my new one. Mines a red 2006. Yeah I'd deff say plasti dip would be the best route to black out your wheels. Did it to my emblems on my Silverado and got great results. Best part is if you don't like it, plasti dip peels off.

    Lights end up being pretty expensive - figure at *least* a hundred each for anything with decent brightness; you can easily spend more. (OK, someone is sure to point out you can find the "Kragen HIDs" prolly for a little *less* than a hundred each...)

    BHLM is a good look for investment of a weekend and not much investment of money.

    Also, don't forget simple detailing; you can spend a complete Saturday doing nothing but washing, polishing, waxing and giving the interior a *really* thorough cleaning. Unless you bought from a dealer, the truck could probably benefit from being detailed.
