Decided to try matching the grill with dip came out pretty well. Think I might debadge the side as well or dip them when it gets warmer out.

Got sometime to do slight mods.. intalled 1 3/4" spacers to push tires out slightly to stop rubbing on sway bar and control arm. Came out to I think 10mm offset now from the 54mm they were. Had to trim just a little of the plastic wheel well on the drivers side. After that got my new decal put on.

Truck is looking great! How do you like that intake? And, with the 1.75" wheel spacers, did you have to trim the factory studs in order for the wheels to mount properly on the spacers? I know on Ford, 2" spacers were needed to clear and still maybe sometimes have to trim the factory studs. Thanks.

Thanks intake is pretty good noticed slight mpg increase but could have been just switch to summer blend fuel although I did put it in feb..

I did not need to trim the studs at all in fact they were slightly under 1.75" measured a few times just to be safe.

Got front windows tinted and gave it a detail.

Also did some things with alfa like
Lower TPMS thresholds
Activated DRLs
Window down express
Adjusted tire size
Set fogs to stay on with high beams
Set headlights to HID to get rid or relays and harness

Next up is camper shell and bedrug.

There is an option under body computer MY2013-2017 scroll down to the very bottom to car configuration change. Once in there scroll down to VehConfig 3- High intensity discharge headlights and set to enable.

That will make a HID kit literally plug and play all you need is the igniter with the factory low beam plugged into that then your HID into the other igniter output and your good to go.

Found a cheap dual exhaust on ebay and couldn't pass it up... needs to be heated up some and bent towards drivers side to match passanger but for $270 shipped its not half bad sounding and def a step up over the factories. Also added a little hitch cover.
