Default New look, What else to do?

So I just got my cragars on my new 31"s, now what are some other small things I could do for under 100 bucks?

Clear corners would clean up the front a lot. Or that and a new grille.

Also, I don't know if the pin stripe came with it, but I'm not a fan. I would ditch it unless you put it there because you like it. If it's what you like then keep it.

Tinting the front side windows would be nice too.

Yea, it came with it, i think i can peel it off but it doesnt look to bad. My windows were tinted like 40% or something in the front but I had to take it off because of local law enforcement bull****.

Don't ever move to Cali lol

Clean Corners would be nice ill check it out, on a side note im getting the tires re mounted tommorow because they were supposed to put the white lettering on the inside rofl. Barbie truck ftl!

I think the pinstriping is just fine. As for anything else for under 100 bucks...not so sure, unless you like tail light covers or niteshade spraycan tint

I had the covers before...I didn't like the bulginess of it. I got the VHT stuff cuz it still has the natural flow of the stock tail lights with the rest of the body.

I honestly didn't count. I just went really lightly across with long strokes and kept goin til I got a nice shade I liked. Make sure you get a clear coat after to protect it.
