Default 5spd 4cyl touch-up

My little four-banger Dakota thats keeping me till I can afford a better Dakota could use some visual help. It's completely stock, I upgraded the sound on my own and want to make it a little more aesthetic. Anyone want to pitch a couple of ideas to get me started?

Why spend money if your gonna replace it soon?
(not offense just asking)
you could lift/lower it
tint
rims
bed cover
bumper/bumper cover
rollpan
Headlight/taillights
the list goes on........

Does anyone else have trouble using the uploader on her?

Is there a way other than HTML to load pictures on a post?

Yeah, I'm new at this, can you tell?

your pics need to be 500kb or less for all the ones you want to upload to the site, you can also link them if they are hosted on a site such as photobucket... picture tool on the far right of the toolbar above the edit window...

This was before my new headlights.

I got some halo projectors for christmas. They were a pain in the *** to install and dont fit right. I cant seem to find a way to mod them that will make them fit any better. If you can think of anything, here is what they look like and a close up of the gap.

I like those headlights! throw in a spray on bedliner, maybe some pin striping. you could do some tasteful custom dodge decals.

There are people who hand paint the pin striping and paint little stick figures into the pin stripe. Its freakin sweet but can be spendy to do a whole truck.

Oh and maybe invest in a set of wheels too. you could always switch em over when you get the new truck
