I need some advice!
I ran across some extra cash and I've got about $250 bucks to spend on my 97 white f-150 4X2...what do you guys suggest as a good appearance mod for this amount of money? Thanks for any help or pics.

Save the money
The truck looks good
invest the money now and with compounding interest in a few years you could own a new lighting.
Thats what I would do with the extra money.
If you buy some kind of accessory it is not going to raise the value of the truck. So you get no return on your investment.
Invest the money, even in a savings account and you will get a return. a little one but something.

It'd take YEARS to make enough interest on $250 to buy a new Lightning 
Try a hood deflector painted to match or lower the truck. A cheap mod that I did on my old truck was to paint the tailgate handle to match. Cost all of 5 bucks
