My first truck...list of my cheap projects.

Very excited to have bought my first truck. Im looking forward to making this project truck really sweet. The truck came with an in dash navigation that plays DVDs and hooks up to my phones' music by blue tooth, a flow master dual exhaust and ugly 20 inch chrome rims.
So far I have:
1. Painted the silver grill insert black to color spec of the truck.
2. Painted the faded bed caps with black trim paint
Next on my list is to:
1. Replace the 20s with black 20s
2. 2.5 inch leveling spacers
3. Black bull bar
4. K&N cold air intake
I hope I'm on the right track here. Any suggestions on other cheap mods before I spend a bunch on the rims?...Any one selling Black 20s?

Are you talking about LED headlights or Interior LEDs? Either way both sound great.

Just finished my last coat of Plasti Dip yesterday. The Rims look so much better. I just really hated the chrome 20's that the previous owner left on the truck...they looked really crappy. I ordered a few cans of glossifier from dipyourcar.com as soon as my order get here I will use it to give the rims a cleaner look.
