Default Need ideas to install something cool, 01 dakota

I have about $500 to spend. I am trying to think of some cool stuff to do to my 2001 dakota, 4x4, 4.7v8, black SLT sport.

I just finished installing a overhead counsel trip computer. I do have auto start, and an alarm and a nice stereo, tonneau cover,so I don't need any of that stuff. I also just bought new tires and some of those halo light projector headlights (which I might add are freaking awsome and worth every penny).

I did see somenew guage faceplates on ebay, which had flames on them. They looked pretty cool, but i wonder how hard they are to install.

I do have the regular cloth un - powered seats. I am having a hard time trying to find a COMFORTABLE cool looking chair. Again, I wonder if they are easy to install.

I would also be interested in some performace parts. Otherwise, just some cool functional ideas or looks.

I figure all you pros here can help me. Its been about 15 years since I worked on cars, but I still remember the basics.

I was wondering what some of you guys have done, what works, etc.....

in my opinion stay away from flames! unless they are candied ghost flames on the hood... honestly with the mods youve already done I dont see any need for further modifications! I would look into the likes of a flowmaster exhaust system for better sound and slight performance. Maybe some clear taillights. but all the basics seems to have been covered.

I just ordered an air intake system and some halo projector fog lights.

About 140 dollars for both including shipping.

I got a flowmaster 40 installed today. Awsome, cost me 250 with install. Almost a little pricey but worth it. I hate messing around with exhaust work. Cutting welding etc.....

Exhaust is awsome, sounds cool, and little more power.

if the headlights weren't one pieces and you dont have them already you should get some clear corners for the front and just a set of the white face gauges off ebay look pretty hot im hoping to get them soon and it isn't to hard to remove the gauge cluster to put them in.
