So far I've added Mopar splash guards, Deezee Steps, **** Rearview mirror, JBL GTO 6x9s in back (plan to upgrade the rest of speakers with JBL speakers and then a ms-8) and my bakflip will be here in the next week or so.

So...... I need help picking my next mod.

1. Horizontal grill inserts (similar to the Sport's)
09 10 DODGE RAM CHROME GRILLE INSERT HORIZONTAL MOPAR | eBay

2. Tinted Windows

3. Remote Start (using dball kit thing that people talk about on here)

4. 18" Mufflex

I'm having a hard time deciding what my next mod should be... Someone help me.

Tint the windows. Keeps the inside cool. Protects the interior and keeps eyes out and really changes the look of the truck. It will be the first thing I do when I leave the ********* state of CA

Also I think the upper glove box is a nice touch. I saw that in your "wanted mods" and I did a write up about it in the DIY section. I am really happy how mine turned out.

tint the windows

also when you get around to the grill inserts don't spend that kind of money you can get ones people too off their truck for much less.

hell once you hit 50 posts you could put a wanted to trade thread in the classifieds section. Always somebody looking for the honeycomb inserts

Tint for sure. Quick, relatively cheap, and makes a world of difference in looks and keeping your truck cool in the heat.

TINT it is guys. I'm a little nervous my old Tahoe I had tinted before I traded it in for the ram and the tint guys did a horrible job with dust, and their trimming around the edge was something that a 4 year old could do. I'll have to investigate a good place around here...

I really want to go to one of the places where the computer cuts the tint out..

Good to know. I will definitely look into that before I spend $150+ dollars on inserts.

Yeah, I can't wait to do that mod. I read your write-up the other day, will make it a lot easier for me.

Ziebart is a chain that does good work. They probably aren't the cheapest, but they aren't unreasonable, and their lifetime warranty is good at any location nationwide. They did my '08 Taurus a few years ago and did a great job.

I'm probably going to have them do the Ram's front windows soon to match the factory tint on the rears.

Yeah it was pretty easy. If you have any questions let me know. As for the tint I read somewhere where Ram puts a film on the windows and if you are giong to tint over them you need to make sure it is a certain quality or it will fade and look crappy. Someone else around here may know more about it.

I would suggest going to Autozone and getting the black 13" raptor antenna. They have one now with grooves and it doesn't whistle at all at high speeds and looks much better on the dark trucks IMO. Also I just got some MOPAR slush mats which I love in the interior. Just some more ideas on how to spend your money.
