Default Buying an 08 HEMI, any upgrades to quickly do?

so im in the process of getting a 2008 dodge ram 1500 HEMI with dual heated leather seats, tow package, dual exhaust, 4x4, quad cab, 28000 miles.

Is there any upgrades you guys think i should do to the truck for power.

Or style.

Never owned this new of a truck so im not sure on what to get.
