Default 2009 Ram ST Mod Suggestions

So I'm going to take pictures soon but here are some pictures I took when I bought my truck. (Back in August 2009)

Really I need your suggestions. So far I've decided on a chromed out look. So far I've bought a chrome rear bumper which wound up costing me $220. I'm going to buy a chrome front bumper with fog lights. I'm also planning on replacing the black plastic Fascia and getting a stone white painted fascia. I'm also going to buy 20" chrome mopar rims.

Basically thats what I've decided on.

I'm thinking of buying the running board or whatever they're called in chrome. Also thing of getting chrome bug shield (even though not too much bug splatter in LA LMFAO) and the chrome visors. How about smoked tail lights?

Can anyone upload or post their white Ram Trucks so that I get an idea of what I want. All your suggestions will help me enormously! Thanks ahead of time.

I added a chrome horizontal grille insert, tube step bars and fender flare from Ebay. Painted flares to match body. See attached pics.

Paint the bumper cap, handles and the mirrors white. I have always thought white trucks look good coor matched and the chrome blends right in. Or chrome caps on the handles would work too, but you will still the balck.

Thanks for the pictures ripplek. Your truck looks great. I'm gonna get the horizontal billet grill insert.

An I really wanted to change the handles but would it be too much work to replace the and get them white or chrome? And is it expensive? labor intensive?

I also wanted to get different mirrors with signal light. Either body color or chrome if they make them. They're kinda pricey though. And to replace the mirrors, is it labor intensive?

I'm definitely going to tint my windows. I'll keep the taill lights clear. I'll have a rough look of what I want by the end of the month, gotta wait for my pay check. LOL.

Thanks for the help. Oh and is there a guide for replacing parts, for example, (bumpers, handles, mirrors)?

Okay so an update on my truck:


I got jipped on ebay, the seller never sent the chrome bumpers I bought from him. So, I filed an ebay case and I'm waiting to get my money back. This killed everything.

Well, besides that. I decided not to take the chrome bumper route and instead just paint the bumpers i already have white. Its a lot cheaper. I have a black plastic fascia, I was wondering. Can I paint that? Or do I have to order a primed one from the dealership? well, thanks a lot!
