What fairly inexpensive modifications can I do to my 04 F150?

I have a 04 F150 supercab with the lariat package. The truck is really nice already but I want to do some aftermarket things to make it even better. I am planning on putting in a cold air intake in it, as well as a new grill. Eventually I wanna put some new wheels on it but for the right price. Any ideas you have are greatly appreciated.

Leveling kit and some larger tires is alway's a good start.

Some of the cheapest mods I've done:

-2" Autospring leveling kit ($70)
-Bambi Mod (allows fog lights to stay on with high beams) (FREE)
-Tinted tails with Niteshades ($15)
-Painted wheel wells with rubberized undercoating ($5)
-Painted emblems and ordered inlays from Patriot Decals ($15)
-Ordered custom FX4 decals from Patriot Decals ($40)
-Painted fender flares to match (Leftover paint)
-Painted headlights (Leftover paint)
-Tinted front two windows to match the rear at 15% ($60)

You already have a stock cold air intake on the truck. An after market buys you nothing but a lighter wallet. The Gotts mod to the air box will improve throttle response but nothing is going to give you more power in the air box.

How you customize your truck is a reflection of your ideas about what you want to look like in your truck. Using somebody elses ideas defeats the purpose. Tires, wheels, etc are going to be your own choice but that's a good place to start. The grille is your personal decision. I've never cared for the grille mods on your style of truck.
