Did you do something to the rims? They look more glossy then should be.

Nope. That was the day they were installed. They are not that way now

Cool. I've looked at those rims in store before. Just haven't seen very many pics on the rams. Looks nice though

Volant CAI installed. I do notice better throttle response and when I step on it the exhaust sounds a lot deeper

Where it needed to attach to the tube it was to long and couldn't bend to reach it so I had to make my own connection

Not sure if it's needed to be attached after the filter or not

Couldn't get it to bend to fit. I'll probably get some hose fittings to get it to go where it's supposed to

I ordered a primed non sport front bumper with factory fog cutouts a few days ago and is being delivered tomorrow. Should have it painted this weekend and on some time next week and the rear bumper painted next week
