Well welcome to the site! And that's a good lookin truck. As far as accessories, it really depends what you want. Looks or performance? You could get rims/tires. Or programmer, exhaust, and intake.

Yeah it's a pretty good site! And in that case, I'd put tint on. And definitely black out your tail lights. I used duplicolor tint spray (you can get it at autozone for $12) and it turned out ok. (pics below). And you could get headlights. I haven't decided on if I'm gonna take mine apart and paint them or buy new ones. And if you want, you could get new rims, black ones are pretty cheap. I have the Pro Comp 7031s. Oh, and I would do the 3rd Brake Light too.

Thanks. And really, he said it's illegal? Hmmm. I guess it just depends on where you live and what kind of cops you're dealing with and how dark you make them. It said on the can not to apply more than 3 coats or you run the risk of it being too dark but I didn't give a s**t so I did a lot more than 3. Lol and as far as headlights, it depends again. I know you probably want black but oem style, projectors?.. And your rims will look decent if you do a good job prepping and painting.

to be honest i could care less about cops, im a good talker, i just seperated active military after 5 yrs and 3 deployments and was a cop while i was in, and i drive safely so i don think they woudl mess with me over dark tail lights. i hope they will, im pretty detailed person so yeah im gonna be takin my time. deff deff black head lights, i found some pretty nice ones but i just dont wanna do an impluse buy on em. i read horror storys about aftermarket headlights fillin up with water n things like that. i read the post and instructions on here for paintin my factory lights, you no where any info is on how to paint em?!
