Default Mods under $500?

I have a electric blue '08 hemi QC. I have a 2/4.5 drop, CAI, Magnaflow exhaust, Trinity tuner, and black 24's. I don't want to make it faster, lower or anything like that. I'm more into a change in looks or something. I've been looking into black lights and tails, or a grill with no bars. I was trying to see pics of other electric blue Ram's for ideas but no replies so thought I'd ask for opinions here. Looking for looks and comfort items only.

I painted the calipers on my truck it looks cool and it's not too flashy. As for tailights and third brake light, you can buy led ones or just tint the lights like I did with VHT nightshade. I like the look of the billet grilles which you can get for around $65. I"m using an iphone now so I can't see your sig of you have one by the way. You can paint your bumpers to match your paint job. Window tint, subs, sirens/pa system, train horn, exhaust, roll pan bumper, angel eye headlights, lights behind grille, seat covers, interior colored lights (perhaps blue to go with your truck?), HID's, ummm idk there's probably much more I'm not thinking of but those are just some that I could think of now. I do not have experience with all these mods either. Hope this was helpful.

I love my Superchips and wouldn't be without it. It isn't a mod to help your truck run faster, it will just allow your truck to run the way it's supposed to. I really think if you were to get one you would be a very happy camper.

I have a Trinity tuner already. I have a triple gauge pillar but I like the inside just fine. I do like those black stock look headlights!

Check out clazzio leather seat covers. Just under 500 and you can get some of the best looking leather seats I've ever seen. Plus you can choose the color and have custom stitching in blue to tie in the color of the truck. They add extra butt padding and you could throw in seat heaters off eBay for under 100 too. Add some comfort and the look of high end custom upholstery for little investment.

With the lights, there's so many! I like the stock look but black inside and not chrome. There's a few out there that have two small projectors and they just seem too small for the Dodges large headlights. I would need black though to set off the wheels and the blue more, IMO.

I like the recons compared to the other cheaper ones due to the recons have bigger style lights/projectors compared to the smaller ones just like you said but recons are more expensive and can get to be over $500

I have an idea... I'm just throwing this out there but, maybe you could paint or have someone paint the inside of your lights blue??? Instead of the black or the chrome. I think that would look awesome. I've seen it in red before and it looked awesome.
