Default Finally got the truck i wanted! but now i need to upgrade

Here she is... finally went to VA last night and picked her up (10 hour total ride time)

2006 f150 lariat

127k miles

upgrades it has

borla exhaust system
XD 20's on a nice set of grapplers
edge evo CS programmer
double din dvd player
backup camera
LED bed lamp
Rino liner
tonneau cover



What I want to do

K&N cold air intake

fix the headlights/fogs (not sure if they're stock headlights can you tell me?)

Should I go HIDS in headlights/fogs? (want a blueish color or something different)

I want to brighten them i've heard HIDS are bad for stock headlights.

I like the whole halo/projectors light system but heard they're not bright

Save the money don't buy a cold air intake not worth the money I had a k&n and a banks neither one did anything noticable.

Do the Gotts Mod, same thing as a CAI and only costs about $20 and you don't have to relocate the MAF

Maybe it's different for other trucks. A buddy of mine had an increase in gas mileage (2-3 increase in mpg)

You can **** away the money in a CAI if you want, but they don't really suck in cold air. The Gotts mod pulls air from the wheel well, which is actual cold air. A CAI pulls it from the engine bay, which is warmer because it's in the frikkin engine bay. That little shield around it doesn't do much. Suit yourself, though.

Now if you want some REAL power, ditch the CAI idea, do the Gotts mod, then put all that saved money into a good tuner and a performance tune.
