well custumized to me would mean what it would means to most people, paint schemes, shaved door handles, running boards, ground effects kits, lifts, drop kits, hood scoops, shaker hoods, brush guards, sport lights, billet gas caps, chrome accessories. customized = NOT STOCK

there is really not that many people customizing these gen ones that much that i have seen. The most i have ever seen is just wheels and lowering. Take mine for instance, the only customizing ive done is the 18's, the durango leather buckets and a kick *** system. My next venture is the r/t 5.9 and 46re trans that ive got for it. Cant lower mine now cuz the wheels i got stick out a hair too much. They came off a newer durango. click on the little camera under my name and check it out. The pics are kinda blurry but you will get the idea, im working on my new pics.

I have an 89 Dakota Convertible that I am "customizing". To me that means paint, 17" wheels, a few exterior details.....
Factory sent these 89 & 90 convertible to a place I believe is call SUNCOAST and had them install the tops and reinforce the frames.
I have pictures in the camera of before and will post the before and after when I get the chance.
Good luck on your venture.

I am slowly in the process of shaving the all handles. Shaving the gas cap/door (putting fuel cell in the bed). Fiberglass tonneau. Customizing a set of viper wheels to fit the front end. Proglass-Profinish Ram Air Hood. AAR front bumper and painted whenever. Need to make sure everything mechanical is good to go first. Looks are secondary to me.

well i bought mine customized with dents in the front and all down the left side, and the bottom door hinges busted through the doors, so i'm slowly customizing it back into shape with a port-a-power and welder...
