Exclamation Help!!

Well, all my friends have nice *** cars, and i have my good ol '93 dakota, just a little behind in the times compared to everyone else.
What are good things you can put in these? I have thought about it a lot and can't think of anything that i could do that wouldn't make me look like a fool.
any suggestions? The suggestions, if possible, be kinda cheap because i'm on a limited budget lol, real limited.
Thanks!

Lot's of options. Depends on what you want. Do you want it lifted, lowered, offroad look, sport look? Or just crazy off the wall looks? For all the custom things others have done check the FAQ2 for modifying tips, and Ideas.

what kind of things you looking to put in there? drivetrain, interior, exterior, sound system? mine has some of all that stuff. let us see some pics of what you are working with too. alot of my friends that have "nice cars" envy my truck because it gets more looks than theres because there are so few 1st gen dakotas that have been fixed up.

dont be hatin' in the mirrors!!!!! lol, they are a little big but very functional(my girlfriend says the same thing all the time, but no about my mirrors ) and tonneau covers look awesome on these trucks, but i have a toolbox already.
