Ok, so my truck is currently in the shop getting accident damage repaired and I am getting my HBS 2.5 Leveling kit installed. I am thinking of new things to do and here are some ideas:
- Whole new front end painted white (paint bumper nd get new upper bumper pad and paint, white surrounding grille mold with black billet grille) - this may cost too much, I have about 400-500 bucks
- New headlights (Halos w/HIDS, or something of the sort)
- Light bar with some Hellas
- Train horn

I can only pick one thing for now, any suggestions?? A lot of people tell me to replace the mirrors, but id like to knock some other things out of the way before I spend money on those.

 

cost me close to 2K to paint my bumpers.

 

wow thats insane, guess i will be leaving my front end alone then

 

If I remember correctly he actually got new bumpers. Correct me if I am wrong or that was someone else. I dont know that you could get it done for $500, but it never hurts to ask. If you can do that it would be option one to me, if not I would go with some HIDs.

 

Is the front end what's getting repaired?

If so just get it done in White rather then whatever it was.

Otherwise save to do it later...

or is that money is burning a hole then I'd go with the Light bar with some Hellas

 

thanks a lot for the suggestions, i will ask around about it!, need more opinions!!

 

Find a friendly shop to paint it. It's good to get to know the shop working on your truck you get some sick nasty deals. I think just doing the PTM will make your truck look entirely different. Buy them lunch or donuts or something and get on their friendly side. Good luck with what you do though.

 

gears...

 

Lightbar or HID's.

I had my shop paint and install my Roush Stage 3 fascia, mirrors and door inserts on the stang for about $650 and it was off the car just FYI.

 

explain....

 

hmmm, well I will ask about the front end stuff, maybe i should get a light bar with hellas, like the one the prerunner one nfab makes. although the hellas are expensive

 

you have what? 3.55 gears if you're lucky 4.10's would do that truck some good unless you plan on going larger with the tire size in the future

 

Next time I am definitely getting full size 33" tires, i hear gears are expensive though, probably a lot more than say $400

 

a transmission rebuild will cost you a lot more than gears...


but it's your truck

 

think i need gears just for 33's??? I'm only 17, with a part time job, i cant really afford much more than like $400. unless i got my dad to help chime in for christmas or something
