Default Some Exterior Mods with Pics!

Over the last month or two I have done some mods to the exterior of my truck. Here is a list of what I have done. I still need to get a set of black side steps and tint the front windows. After that, I will done with the exterior for a while as I start saving for my next performance mods. Also, the truck is dirty in these pics but with the crazy weather around here lately I haven’t been able to keep it clean for more than a few days. Let me know what you guys think of the changes.
  • Blacked out the exhaust tips
  • Blacked out the front grill
  • Blacked out the Ram’s head on the bug guard
  • Installed a set of black housing headlights
  • Installed a set of Hella 500’s behind the grill
  • Debadged the truck
  • Removed the chrome door handles
  • Color matched the door handles
  • Installed a set of LED tails
  • Tinted the LED tails black
  • Tinted the 3rd tail
  • Tinted the amber reflector in the headlights

I am looking to get someone to trade me a black set for the set I have. Eventually if I can't find someone to trade I am going to paint them but it seems a waste to paint them bc I am sure there is someone out there who would like to have the chrome set.

Yes, I am going to tint the front and then do something with the steps. Either trade with someone who has black ones or paint the ones I have.

Thanks rh. For the tips I sanded them down with some 320 sandpaper, sprayed them with an adhesion promoter and then painted them with regular black spray paint.
