What is the official name of that color? I have almost never seen a Ram in real life in that color. I see the bright blue pretty often, but almost never that color.

If it's overcast out the Blue is pretty deep almost a Navy color. When it's bright and sunny (and clean) the metal flakes will really pop in it. Down here when the red clay dust gets kicked up, if it sits on the truck it'll turn it a deep purple color, so I wash mine often.
Here's some pics of the paint in direct sun light and on a shady side:

Well, I thought I'd go ahead and list out the mods for you guys. Well, most of them. What I can think of anyway.
APS Performance model transmission with a Transgo shift kit and quite a bit more.
APS Bracket Fighter 2400rpm stall TQ conveter
Alpine 9830 Motorized H/U
Alpine 70w X 4 RMS amp for the speakers
Profile California 500watt RMS amp for the subs
2 12" Infinity subs in a Q Logic Box
6.5" Polk DB components up front
6.5" Polk DB coaxials in the rear
Street Wires wire for everything other than the rear speakers which I used Monster cable for
Superstar 121 CB
Wilson 1000 CB antenna
Edlebrock 1002 Air Hat
Flowmaster 40 series muffler with dual 2.25" pipe and Stainless Steel tips
MSD Plug wires
Champion Platinum Plugs with Napa Dist. cap and rotor
Skyjacker 3" Lift
Skyjacker shocks
Eagle Alloy 16x10 Wheels
33" BFG Mt's
Farenheit Headlights
35% window tint on the front and 5% over stock on the rear
B&M Tranmission Cooler
Auburn LSD in the rear
4:10 Gears (this isn't a mod since it's the offroad model it had them stock)
APS Pleneum Kit
Thats basically the jist of it. I'm sure there is more thats just what I can remember off the top of my head.
*EDIT* Forgot to list the Hypertech in the list of mods. I'm probably forgetting more.
I just thought I'd post them up since I've had people ask what stuff is.

RE: I painted my shocks.
I got to thinking and was thinking of maybe painting the inside honeycomb of the grill. I was wondering if you guys thought it would look good if I painted the honeycomb part the same color blue as the truck and left the outside chrome? I can't decide if I want to attempt it but I think it would look cool. I still can't believe how great my shocks turned out looking. It has me wanting to paint more on the truck.
