You could black out your emblems on your fenders and tailgate. By the way, how do you like those terra grapplers? I was thinking about getting a set for my pickup.

Gotts Mod (if you don't already have a cold air intake - plenty of posts here how to do).

LEDs all over the place.

Expedition console WILL fit, but there are a number of older posts here that show that you'll lose some space in the back seat area, since the Expedition console is longer than what was available on the 150 SCab.

Looks GREAT as is! Looks like some $ has already been invested!

i was planning on eventually putting dual exhaust on there with tips comin out at 45 degrees but shes chopped off right behind the muffler now so its pretty obnoxious

tints a great idea probably like 20%

the nitto's are great i love them

i have a k&n intake but its not CAI ill probably make one of them myself following a DIY thread on here

great suggestiions guys

i was also thinking because theres not a whole lot of lighting in these ext cabs, putting LED's all over map, dome, and door lights

and one final thing what do you guys think of the xenon filled 8000k lights on ebay are they worth the 20 bucks a pair there asking and do they have a blue tint from the outside? i want the HID look without the HID price

I have 20% on mine and i like it.. I live in a state where anything less than 50% is illegal and I haven't been bothered about it yet..

I would probably pass on the 8000k.. IMO, anything over 6k looks stupid. Stick to the white headlamps. If you're looking for a lamp a little brighter try using silverstars.
