Need tips
I am 16 and I am still in high school. I don't know too much about aftermarket products, especially for my truck. I have a flareside 98 f150, that is I would say bluish green. Everything on it is still stock. It does have a billet grill, running boards, and a toneau cover. I just wanted some tips on what to put on my truck for a more sleek street kind of look. Want to know some good stereo systems for this truck and a nice muffler. Thanks for those that respond.

Oh man is LandYacht'00 ever right. Someboy once told me that wheels make the vehicle. And you dont even notice it until ever time you enter your garage you fall in love all over again when you see your sexy wheels. It is whels though, where you throw practicality out the window. I ahve 22s. Why? bc they're sexy. I lost speed and my wheels rub a little so I've learned to no turn as much. But I have zero regrets about em all because of compliments.
Also, hoods are important. A good hood is nice, but there are a lot of hoods that are just those hood scoops, not real hoods. Most ppl can tell when you halfass those sort of things. So keep that in mind. My favorite hood that i just ordered is over here at http://www.cervinis.com/welcome.html
As far as audio goes, there are tons of options. What I did was go out to car toys. Car toys has everything, but is really expensive. So find out what they have, and what you want. After that, I went to ebay and bought my system. And it sounds incredible. If your interested in audio, let me know and I'll give you the basics to building a kickass setup.
What system is and why: 2 10" subs because thats about all the room I had behind the seats before sacrificing seating space. Alpine Type Rs because the subs are extremely clear. You hear some subs and they're booming real insanely and you cant really hear music, just crazy bass. if thats what you want, get something like that. But Alpine is clear. I listen to punk and rock music so I dont need bass meant for rap. Also, my box is sealed, meaning no holes in it so the bass is quieter, but clearer. Ported boxes have the bass go out and lasts longer and gets louder, sealed boxes have the bass start and stop immediately.
A friend of mine built me the box. And I love it. If you live in thise area, I can give im your number and he has the measuremants of the truck already. He could probably build you a box. But whatever. Check t out over here: https://www.f150online.com/galleries...8995&anum=7433
Hope that helps. There are tons of tricks you can do to your truck. I have switched out the dome light in the top of the cab, and the door panel lights on either side to the LED blue. and the 3rd brake light has blue lights in them. They all come on when I press 'unlock/lock' or open a door. Check out the 3rd brake light lights over at https://www.f150online.com/galleries...9460&anum=7466
My interior has LEDs in the ac and speaker vents. I get all my LEDs from CarToys, but would not recomend them for anyhting other than getting hard to find parts. the LED lights run at about $13 for a pair of the smalls, and $13 for 1 dome light. Check out my album for a good depiction of what I've done to the truck: https://www.f150online.com/galleries....cfm?gnum=5095
