I would like to see some nice pop up KC's in the rear bumper. Kinda like TA lights. Popup when you put it in R and kick back down in D. That would be sweet for offroad! Another idea I saw is my friend just hooked his bro up with 6 led's in the bed that come on with the courtesy lights.

Actuators are about a $100 a pop, I would need two to raise and lower a set of lights in the bumper, but thats a hell of an idea just not a $400 mod to me (considering I would want HID's).

mSall, I don't know much about sound systems I would need a lot of pointing from someone like you and I don't want to annoy anyone

I already have a lot of mods you guys are recommending (HID's, rear view cam, etc). About front and rear cameras, I already have the rear as mentioned (which is a fantastic CCD camera). I wired up a switch to trigger the reverse cam to come on my Z1's screen so I can watch it full screen, or I can watch it side by side with the navigation on the other side. This spawned another idea considering I have no idea when the front cam would come in handy(?) but I could get another monitor, mold it to my dash and dedicate that 100% to the reverse camera. Maybe even wire up a video switch to switch from displaying movies to the rear view cam.

Supercharger, front and rear sunroofs and the electric tonneau are all on my mind, trust me. I've been looking for a sunroof but I figured out I'd have to remove my current sunroof seeing as it retracts back to the place where a second sunroof would go.

The electric tonneau is high on my list, I have a tonneau I'm looking at picking up right now.

Lastly, I would like to shave my tailgate and design my own cowl hood with fiberglass. If anyone knows of any sweet hood designs shoot'em my way!

Right now I am really leaning towards molding another tv into my dash for rear view/movies. I really do not like having to view either a movie or navigation and the guys in the back get to keep watching the movie.

The paint job is something I really want to do on my own. It is going to have a lot of downtime so it needs to be at a time I can afford this but I heard it can be done for around $600 give or take (cost of supplies). I have a buddy with the guns, compressor, etc. It really cannot be that difficult, I have some experience painting. No matter how it comes out it should look a lot better than it does now.
