Default Where should I start?

Im new to the fourm. I have had my 2006 F-150 cab for a couple of years and I love the thing, but I need to spice it up being that its pretty blah right now! The Interior has no power locks, no power windows, no leather seats, no rear sliding window and of course no system! So if anyone has a truck like mine they know what a pain it is not having these features in your truck.

The exterior of my truck has tinted windows which is cool I guess, but no rims or mean sounding exhaust!!

So I would just like a some advice where some of you guys started or would start if you wanted your truck to come alive!

Thanks

How much $$$ do you have to spend, alot depends on that factor. The best bang for your buck performance mod is a tuner, but those can run over $400. Then throw in your CAI and exhaust and you're approaching or over $1k.

Then you have appearance mods and then system mods. Before you know it you're $12k deep into modding your truck and there are still things out there you want. Opps sorry got sidetracked there for a moment.

By that I mean modifications which is exactly what you'll be doing to your truck when you add a non stock item such as a CAI or exhaust. Several of us on this site have modified our trucks to suit our particular tastes.
