Hello all, just bought an 08 1500 sport. Traded in my 04 Maxima that was heavily modded. So now let the modding begin on Big Red. Thinking about doing the headlights first. So all recommendations accepted.

Welcome!

I think the best mod for those headlights are the color matched eyebrows. They reduce the overall size appearance.

The best idea to do with headlights would be to contact JJ, a fellow member on here who is a wizard with lights, and see what he has or what he can do.

His username is 0212353
And here is the link to his website- Retro Shop Online Store

And here is a link to his gallery of custom lights done by him- Retroshop.us

Hope this helps

Welcome!
Not to sound like a schill for JJ but I'm partway through a headlight mod and HOLY CRAP it's a PITA (and I've done this before).

Sweet truck; love the hood scoop.

Welcome to the forum.
Nice truck, looks real good.
You can try easy mods for your headlights like eyelids, LEDs, tint; or go big and ask JJ to make you some custom ones ;)

Welcome!! Beautiful truck, looks even better after losing the wind deflector!! I also have an '08 Sport (but orange not red) and couldn't be happier with it! You're so lucky to get the hood and bumper though, I wish mine would of come with those. Nice find!

I like black, so if that was my truck, i'd: black out whats possible. So headlights, tail lights, 3rd brake light, and rims. Tint those windows and add some exhaust. Remove badges or plasti-dip them black. I also leveled mine, I really like the appearance it gave to the truck. Most of all, have fun with it! :)

I too like black, and am planning to do all of the above. Already have the exhaust it is a Magnaflow system. Thinking of either black chroming the stocks or getting a set of black SRT wheels.
