The first thing you should do is move that Ram and re-take your picture!

good joke.


tint your tail lights with nite shades. do about 3 coats and then 3 coats of clear. just do a simple wet sand and spray on. its runny so be careful and go easy on the coating. just do a light spray.
as far as black housing, that could get expensive. if you are confident in breaking apart the headlight housing, you can paint it black. it isn't difficult. get high temp. paint or else the light bulbs can make the paint rub off.

dual exhausts would be your best bet, as far as dumping it off, look into your state laws and see if you can dump it infront of the rear tires, that would be badass. get flowmasters or a well known brand, you can't go wrong

best of luck. tell your buddy with the ram to take care of it. its a beauty

Yeah I was thinking the headlights would be risky but it would look so much better than with the clear housing. I kinda want the exhaust comin straight out the back though.. I dont know I will have to look into it but thanks for the info about the tailights thats going to be one of my first priorities.

I'm probably gonna start off with some appearance mods. I gotta rack in some cash before I start on performance. Any ideas for the exterior??
