Dealer gave me the chrome moldings at cost and we worked them right into the deal. Also got the driver and passenger side front windows tinted to match factory. Future mod. plans right now are AEM Brute Force CAI. (Yes they do make them for the 3.7 v6.) Maybe a front brake upgrade(when/if one ever becomes available). But those'll be down the road sometime.

First priority now though is a tonno for the back. So I'm open for suggestions on that. Thinking either a trifecta or full tilt model from extang. Anyone have experience with either of these two models? I've also heard the roll-up model from access works really well. Need something that can work in any climate. So the traditional snap down ones are definitely out.

Nice ride flamered06. Mine is Inferno Red Crystal Pearl, I had the dealer add the matching DC tonneau.

sweet truck, the chrome moldings look great, if you really wanna set the truck off, get a nice billete grille insert, my o5 has one. plus dodge makes a matching chrome bumper piece that fits in the slightly dropped section of the top of the frt bumper. forget about the canvas tonneau. I installed a lo pro tonneau from a.r.e matching fiberglass cover sweet.

its for any 05/06 frt bumper. need to go to dealer and find a dak that has one. write down vin number and go to parts dept so they can look it up. looking into getting my frt bumper painted same color as rest of truck. dodge went with this gray bumper to hide all the chips and debrie from chiping the paint.

Thanks... I'm going tomorrow to a couple of dealers to try and get a vin# of a truck with it for my parts man. I ordered the grill insert yesterday. I hope it wont be a beast to install. Hope it looks as nice as yours when Im done.

Welcome, I sure you will love your truck.

Does anyone know much about the DC hard trifold cover? I'm thinking about getting one for my truck. I want a hard cover for security but I want it to be easly to remove to use the bed. Any ideas???
