Default looking to be blacked out

I am planning on repainting my 01' Ram from champagne to black, and I need help with some other acessories that I want to add. I am looking for a good looking wiper cowl, blacked out head and taillight covers, and a smoke liscense plate cover. What are some good manufactuers to look at? I want quality but I dont want to spend a large sum of money on something when I could put that money into something else.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I found. I cant laugh at you becuase I want a roll bar and they are almost unheard of now. I had one in the early 90s and I loved it. Hung my swim shorts and beer cans on it at the beach when I was an underage drinker... lol... Ah the good ol days when beer was a challange to get... lol Well anyhow if you must do this to the truck look at summitracing.com or jcwhitney.com I think the name brand your looking for is GTS. I saw a ton of them on mustangs years ago. Jcwhitney.com had so much crap you'll find all you need there.

Good luck.

Post up some pictures if you do it.

You can find the head & tail light covers at Pep Boys, etc. They run about $45 for the front, don't know for the rear. My truck is a black sport model, so the front covers set it off pretty nice. You can see the turn signals pretty well, but the headlights themselves become pretty useless from the drivers seat.
BTW, A complete color change like you want to do gets pretty labor intensive (mucho dinero). If you dont do all the jambs (doors, tailgate, hood), then evry time you open a door, the original color will show. Just something to think about.
