Looking for opinions on some exterior mods, or should I just leave it alone? Im trying to stick with the "clean" look. Let the ideas flow!

Really? I didn't know they were debadged.

Oh and some turn signal integrated side mirrors, good luck finding some though I've been looking for quite some time.

Yea unfortunately they're debadged on the sides, with black front and rear emblems.
I was going to de-badge until the black edition RAMs came out. To avoid blending in I had to get the side emblems professionally color matched (wasn't cheap lol)

I'm thinking about color matching the handles and mirrors. But it wouldn't be much of an appearance change, just minor detailing.

I like the look of the hard top tonneau covers, but I'm not a fan of having to remove it when/if I haul stuff

I love the clean blacked out look you have! Have you considered some custom made black badges?

Well I had all the emblems custom color matched, you mean badges with something else instead of the ram?

I like the 3D appearance of the ram's head, and wouldnt even know what to put in place of it

If you like it clean, leave it be. Looks tasty. Could always maybe add some black sport tubes or step bars.

I've thought about a back rack, just don't want to add stuff and then it look trashy/over done.

Thought about a bull bar too if I could fab up some brackets for the body lift I have.

Also, I need to do some custom tail lights, the Recons are a eye sore and I've already gotten a ticket for my tinted tails.

Cant do anything textured, everything on my truck is smooth and color matched.

Looks like I may grab a bull bar and play around with fabrication, maybe ditch the toolbox and get a mopar hard tonneau, experiment with doing some custom color matched LED tails, then maybe color match handles and mirrors if I get really bored lol

Im used to do something to the truck every weekend and now that the lift is corrected and fixed, Im bored on the weekends and looking for something to do lol

They have gloss smooth nfabs.... I dunno. Up to u

Yea, I just think they hang down to low for my taste. I need some steps that are a little more "flush" with the body and wheel to wheel length

If I did a "tough truck" with a brush guard and bushwackers Id throw on some nfabs. But my truck is sexy, not tough lol

Sounds like a pretty good plan! If you get rid of those Recon tails feel free to hook me up with a good deal :)

Also, what about tow mirrors?
