Default Upgrades

I am wanting to do some upgrades to the engine on a '94 Dakota. Also I would like to know where to find some euro tail lights if I can for the same truck. Any suggestions for these and for a possible paint job. If you know of a website I can go to to see what paint colors would look good on the dakota I would appreciate it. Also looking for a driver side fender and door.

First off, which motor do you have?


For the Euro Lights, there's only one website I know of that sells them, but I can't think of it off hand. I know someone on here knows it.


As for the paint job, the easiest way to figure something out is to get together with someone who has Photoshop and work with it that way.


Since you're in KY, I would check local junkyards for a fender and door, I'm sure it'd be rust free. If you buy new or even used off Ebay or what not, shipping is killer, unless you find something close.

There is a section on this forum for people who need photoshop projects. Post up your pic and what you want done and someone can hook you up.
