...Yeah, you have a point. Well, I've got me the good 'ol V6...so idk about performance...but I'll take any suggestions...also uhmm...other than what you see on the outside....nothing. Haven't done much. Stripes. Fuel Door Cap. Step bars (will come off if/when i lower the truck). That's it...don't know how much that helps...


oh...forgot the mudflaps, ventshades and tint...

The CAI I think I might can do...I have an idea for parts...I just don't know about my air flow sensor...
The headlights I'm waiting for my dad to get back from T.D.Y to help me with that and plastidip...can I use that on my fake factory rims?...They are that chrome plastic cover thing....and would I need to take them off?

real easy punch a hole and rvt sealant for the sensor . Done next question? Oh and btw/ You coulkd always get some racing stripes , cheap imo. A cat back nsystem, a good one is gonna run ya half a grand easy. You get what you pay for. I would do a cai. not much else with the budget and the motor . Guttah grill ( it's guttah mesh) For the home. Zip ty that too the grill. It looks cool and keeps the rocks out of the radiator. Lessee Cheap huh?
Maybe a fuel cap for twenty bucks. Summitt racing has two stick on versions. be careful here one is twenty bucks , the other is twice as much. They are identical.
Also just a tailpipe tip. It slips over stock , doesn't do jack, but neither does the fuel cover cap.
Good nluck hope we helped.

painted calipers - $20
headliner - cost in materials = $10 - $60 depending on what you want. and thats if you do it yourself. professional labor i have no idea of cost.
k&n air filter around $50. CAI or stock, you need a great filter.
i know some exhaust shops that will do a muffler/duals for under $250.
level shackles for the rear end - $40 - and up, + labor which is under $100 in my area.
window tint
behind grill fog lights
spray on bedliner
rear wheel wells
touch screen mp3/cd player
a good jack and lug wrench, because the stocks SUCK!

pistol grip pump 12 ga for behind the seat

pretty much, if you can do your own labor, anything is possible. when the job gets too technical, requires too many tools, procedures, and for some ppl, time. thats when it can get expensive.

Just to be sure, what are all the parts I would need to make my own CAI, and do I need some sort of high temp paint or whatnot to protect the PVC?
