Question Ignorant wife needs help

Hey all!

My husband has his new Truck, and has added a back sled that pulls out etc that he built himself (LOVES it). He has added a few other things to the truck, but I'd like to take advantage here and see if you all have suggestions on what you would do to "fancy" up the truck. Great opportunity for me for gifts etc, since he loves it so! Fathers day, birthday etc.

I haven't the foggiest idea what looks good, etc, I do know he's not overly fond of Chrome.

So, I am here asking for ideas and suggestions. If you have photos or links to back up your suggestion that would be great!

Thanks in advance!

Oh, this is the Truck:

MudFlaps for the rear wheels. Maybe with the Ford Emblem Window Tint for the front windows is also good.

add a westin brush guard on the front and plasti dip the wheels and exhaust in flat black. I like the truck as is honestly but those are a few things I would consider doing.

I think tinting the front windows is a great idea.
You could also do interior things: like adding Katzkin leather or in dash double din system

Other things like bull bars, rims, tires, etc are all dependent on the person and what they like

Love the color of that truck though!

Think plastidip on the exhaust would survive the heat, gonna plastidip all the chrome on my truck when I get home on days off never thought of that

I know for a fact it does. I had it on for 1000 miles before I switched to hi-temp paint with hi-temp gloss clear coat. Stains like hell though.

I would spend about $1500 and put a 2" leveling block in the front and get some bigger wheels and off-road tires.. nothing extreme, but some black wheels would look good on that truck... I would do the fx headlights and tail lights too for $4-500
