Default Need suggestions

I found this forum a month ago after deciding that I would rather "beef up" my truck instead of trading in since I've only put 7500 miles on it. I have a 2007 Ram 1500, V6 SXT - Brilliant Black; and I can just imagine this thing looking really cool with some extras. So far I have tinted the windows and added security system with auto start.

One idea I had was to replace the stock 17" rims with stock Ram 20" rims (pre 2009) and found that this is possible after reading one of the threads here, but I am not sure what else to add.

I've also thought about adding OEM fog lights because the plastic inserts look terrible, is this possible?

yes its possible to add the fog lights. You could do the walmart lights behind the inserts, or get them from a dealer or I think LMC truck sells a kit or something like that for it

Sure are a lot of sweet looking trucks out here. Thanks 7mmmag1 for the LMC site...was able to locate a few items. Are there any other sites that offer OEM and/or really good aftermarket parts? I would really like to comparison shop and then take to local shop for install.

well, it's kinda iffy. cause in my opinion, aftermerkat products are almost always better than oem. everything from fenders to window motors to brake pads.

i just say find something you like, find someone to verify it's durability, then buy/install it =)
