Hey all, I've always loved my Rams but never got into modding them because they were always leases. Well after buying this one put i decided I had to make it mine. Its been a fun journey so far and everyone heres been really cool and helpful. Just felt like sharing! Nothing really as far as performance upgrades except a Carven progressive exhaust. Mostly interior/exterior stuff. That'll change soon though! Next on the list is dipping the badges and rims. Then a set of shorty headers. No broken bolts yet (43k miles) but better before than after. Just did the tips yesterday. Operation no chrome is underway.

allmoparparts has the stock sport ones. They are a supporting vendor. I wish I had known that. I find a set of Depo lights on Ebay. They are as good of quality as stockers. If you get serious about dipping your wheels and want to know how to take your chrome clad off your wheels. I did this and man it was a project, but so worth the end result. Dip doesn't like sticking to chrome that well.

Also if you ever decide you don't like the stock cowl hood, CARiD is where I got my functional sport ram air hood.

Its honestly not a bad price. Out the door with paint was like 1200. I have had it on for 4 years now and its been awesome! Its fiberglass, so you save some weight, and it will work with the stock latch and hood shocks. Its been over 100 mph with no issues. Plus its functional!
