Nice man!

 

Nice upgrade. Now whats first lol

 

Nice man, what are the future mods?

 

Thanks for the likes.

As for future mods, ill start off by getting the tint and a line x put in. I took my Kenwood DNX7100 headunit out of my old truck now I need to get it put in this one. The problem is now I have the steering wheel controls that I want functional, the shop told me they could do it for $300 (thats parts and labor).... does this sound reasonable?

 

Nice. I wish I had steering wheel controls. IIRC the Pac Audio steering wheel interface was under 100 bucks for my F150 when I was looking into swapping a new steering wheel in. So that would be $200 bucks in labor which seems a bit excessive to me.

 

Very nice truck I like too. You gonna keep the wheels that are on it, or swap for new?

 

Thanks for the heads up I am going to look into this a little more now. They told me the part was whatever price and they wanted something like $40 to program the controls from there.... thats why I did not have it done right then, I wanted to research more.

As for the wheels I am going to keep them for now, there is no curb rash or anything on them. They are American Racing Miran 22's I do not know if you could tell that from the pictures they were taken with my phone. I also really like the silver with black wheels look.

Another thing I forgot to mention is the exhaust tips stick out past the fender and that is something I really do not care for so I need to have a section of pip cut out so they do not do that any more!

 

Well now I have to one up you! Went back to this same place they wrote up an invoice and told me it would be $618!!!! Went to another shop the guy told me he knocked some labor off and quoted me at $565.

I am getting my Kenwood DNX7100 with Bluetooth and Sirus put in along with steering wheel controls. I forgot to mention the Bluetooth and Sirus before. Does this still seem like a little much? I own everything except the steering wheel control relay thing and the 2008 harness.
