Bro, I just noticed something while looking at your truck! I think I totally ordered your headlights. Are they like our stock one's, but painted black inside the housing, and the turn signals are clear???

I ordered them last week, and they're sitting in my garage waiting for time to install.

Thank you sir! I am VERY happy with it, too. :) I had some concerns about loosing ride quality with it being lowered, but it actually rides better than stock.
I am gonna start focusing on appearance mods now...

Yep, I looked high and low for wheels, but just didn't find one's I loved... And now that my truck is lowered, I like my stock wheels even better. So I am gonna do this for now:
-Stock wheels powder coated black
-Exhaust tips powder coated black
-Ram emblems flat black
-Inside headlight housing black, clear turn signals (white bulb will flash yellow)
-Stock taillights stay red
-Brake calipers painted red

Basically, gray truck on flat black, and bits of red here and there. :) I am really going after a very subtle, almost stock look. What do you think???

I think that's a pretty clean look. Sounds killer!

Sounds good. What are you gonna do with your fog lights?? That's the only part I don't have any ideas for.

I saw some people tinted them so I want to try that with 35% the only thing is I don't know how long that would last like how long before the tint goes bad

Oh, I am no expert, but I can't imagine that lasting very long. My truck sits in the sun and salt water air all day... Not to mention how often I wash the truck. :)

Plus the heat from the lights when on I don't have salt water air but mine does sit in the sun a lot but the sun doesn't really hit the fog lights and washing shouldn't do much to them I think also what I saw them use was lamin-x not tint
