So I'm looking to make some adjustments to the way my truck looks. I've got a yellow 99 dakota sport V8. I've seen how my future mesh grille will look thanks to a great tutorial somewhere in these forums, and I want to get new wheels and change the badges from the navy color they are to just plain black. Any advice on decent wheels a poor college kid can afford, or how to take the current badges off?

 

I want to go black with the color of the wheels.

 

plasti dip your rims. and you can debadge your truck and get new deals online.

 

i'm gonna paint myn but if you want i know there a few ok looking black rims for our trucks

 

I'm not familiar with plasti-dipping. what is that exactly?

 

its just like a plastic spray. google and youtube it. youll get the idea really fast.

 

Badges: hair dryer...heat evenly...dont rush...they'll come right off.

 

Also looking for a decent air intake that doesn't cost 300 bucks. I know they're all over ebay, but I don't know how much you can really trust that site sometimes.

 

dodgeramguy got one off of there for 35 bucks or something like that and he says he loves it, personally i go name brand with proven gains but by the way he speaks he says it works just as good as any other cold air/ intake, so it would hurt to give it a try for 30-40 bucks.

 

the plastidip looks good on most wheels. but if you want a whole new design id get some cragar soft 8's, there cheap and look like a real truck rim. and for about 35 bucks you could also make your own intake and not have to wait for shipping. i've seen a alot of diy threads on here for the 4.7, but what motor do you have?
