Default Cheap mods, Big impact

Hey all,

Just joined the forum not to long ago because I thought about getting rid of my truck and then I thought...why not just make it better? While browsing I saw some people do some really cool looking stuff. I'm hoping to contribute. Here are some before and after photos of what I've done so far. I plan to do a lot more except I'm a man with a lot of hobbies. Of course that means money gets spend every where on toys and not just for the truck. What you will see in the pictures below I was able to do for around $50. Let the games begin!

Did that include the cost of the rubber on your seat? LOL Not even sure that's what it is, just looks like it.

Also, your headlights aren't in correctly. Take the grille back off and headlights out. Make sure the bottom tabs are seated correctly in the bottom holes.

LOL that happens to be the packaging that the LEDs came in. Didn't realize it looked like that till you pointed it out haha. as for the headlights I've never touched them since I owned the truck. Must have been a previous owner. Ill have to look into what your talking about
