I have a 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie, Bright White.

Need ideas on what mods would look best with my truck.

It currently has HID's in factory projectors, factory matched tint and Duratrac's on it.

I finally have all my pieces for my Bil's 5100 install.

Looking to go with Hostile Alpha H109 Rims (blade cut) with 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers or Firestone MT's haven't decided yet.

I was also thinking of putting HID projectors into my stock fog housings.

I was quoted about 300 to get all my chrome painted to match my truck, Bright White.

I think once leveled, I will probably get the itch to go with a 6" lift.

Just looking for photos for inspirations, thoughts, ideas. Any ideas that anyone has would be awesome. Just seems to be so many nice looking rams and so many mods for them, I don't really know where to begin!

Are you looking for visual mod's and/or performance, or both? Lots of ideas here---we love to spend other people's money on their trucks-----:D

Biggest point now is probably visual. I already have a Carven progressive on it, which I forgot to mention.

Down the road I might look into CAI, pedal commander, oil catch can (unless absolutely worth/needed now), etc.

Open to both though, see what might catch my eye.

Leaning towards rim and tire package and suspension work now though. Really thinking about getting my chrome paint matched also

Some members have color matched the chrome on their trucks, others have replaced the bumpers etc with OEM parts that are ready to be painted. IMHO if you don't have a good painter it can be kinda iffy getting your chrome painted. The painter need to know his **** and prep the pieces correctly.

It's a busy located near me that comes highly recommended. A few of my friends have gone to them and have nothing great to say. I know chrome can be a big pain in the ass to paint, that's my biggest worry as well.

I would have to inquire what kind of warranty it would come with, in case problems started to arise. I was quoted about $550 if they remove bumpers, prep, paint and reassemble. I was then quoted about $350 If I just removed the bumpers and grille and brought the parts to them.

They actually just painted the race car one of my buddies owns for his Pro lite truck.

I did see the thread about converting from metal style bumper to sport version, but by the time you purchase the materials and have them painted, it was over $1,000 already.
