Default Aftermarket 3rd gen stuff

ok, here is my issue. I gave up looking for aftermarket **** for my 3rd gen a while ago because NO ONE MAKES ANYTHING GOOD!!! #pissed... But anyhow, I was wondering if any of you guys know where I could get some good stuff. This is my wish list of parts: PIAA fog lights (i know where to get these just need some cashola), tailight brush guards (have only found one set), I would reall like a 3 inch suspension lift kit, also been tossing around the idea of a roll bar for the bed, quite possibly some fender flairs, and thats about it i believe for now. let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

for cosmetics, most of my mods i did with a rattle can..haha. niteshaded my tail lights, painted stock wheels, painted rear diff, gasdoor, grill, etc...you get the idea. not sure where you could find those brush guards for the tails, iv only seen chrome ones on some sites and find those hideous but of course you could paint them. if you want the 3" lift there is a body lift kit out there.

Im not a huge fan of body lifts. but I did my tail lights with night shade too and i like it. I actually found a set of black tail light brush guards that i am looking at getting, westin makes them. but i was also looking into painting my wheels and im also sooner than later goin got pain my grill black too. dont much like the chrome look of that one.
