2007 stx 5speed

So im new to this site and wanted to get some ideas an different perspectives on my truck! so far the only thing is a jvc head unit and CAI but i was thinking of starting with some small cheap stuff as in a saleen grille, head/tail lights, tint, badges off a newer stx, bed cover, etc and eventually headers(if i can find any for the 4.2), lowering kit(not sure on how much of a drop yet), and either flowmaster 40's or borla. input? oh and its snowing here so no sense in cleaning her up for pics just yet maybe in a few days

What color is your truck? Is it a Scab, Screw, or regular cab? You can check out my albums to see what my truck started off with and what it is now, I have all the mods you listed except for the headers. Should of read a little bit before you put that cai on and saved yourself some cash, the Gotts mod is just as effective for $20. Anyways, welcome to the site and enjoy your truck!

Just post some pics, doesn't matter if it's clean or not. Weather is crappy everywhere it seems, so I think most will understand.

Hope to see some bigger pics soon. But I like the look. It looks like you still have the XL mirrors. I'd suggest upgrading those at some point; but over all looks good!

Stickers......lots of stickers......a whale tail........plastic chrome door handle covers (chinese spec for sure) and Borla, yeah $200 each for the "good" mufflers (that are soooo much better than glass-packs....un-oh, they look the same on the inside, was i lied too?)

grin!

James,

Yes I have the mirror upgrade. I found them here in our classified section. But here is what I'm talking about.

These are the XL Mirrors (what you have):


These are the XLT Mirrors (You can get them, power, heated, with turn signals whatever):


Those are just a little thing that will make your truck look like a higher end model. Other things may be bumpers with fog-lights, PTM handles, etc.
