After buying my '09 screw a couple weeks ago, I'm looking forward to making it my own...only thing is I don't want to put a lot into it yet because my wife would probably shoot me and burn the truck haha. I've already added the USB2 and I'm putting tint on it soon...any other ideas?

You could take off any dealer badges or decals that you dont want. That always make it look WAY better in my opinion.

You should put a leveling kit on it... Hell Bent Steel sells one for $79. It will make the truck look better too.

Awesome and if you don't want to put too much in it maybe look at a flowmaster super 44 muffler. I got one of them on mine for like 140 total muffler and install(it needed welding which I can't do). Muffler sounds pretty good though especially at idle

How will the leveling kit affect the ride? Any rougher?

I have a rough country one on mine, like 99 bucks, and if anything the ride improved.

Leveling kits are cheap, if you are mechanically inclined, you can do it in your driveway in about an hour, instant gratification + alignment will cost about 70.00. Window tint, spray paint rear fender wells and heat temp. paint for tailpipe. Endless possibilities on a shoestring budget, just use your mindseye on what you would like to see. Plus the wife can't give you any grief, other than spending too much time with the truck and not her, hahahahaha.
