Looking for exterior ideas/opinions

[stevekucz]

Hi all!

I got my truck in the end of September, and since then, I have done the following:
- Front tint, tail & brake tint, black emblem kit, black hood bezel, black exhaust tips, bed cover, and black side steps.

Wheels & tires are going to happen in mid 2023.

Looking for any ideas / suggestions for anything else to the exterior?

In my mind, I've done it all & am happy with the look, but hoping someone has some creative ideas.

Pics attached for reference.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions

It’s a great looking truck! I got nothing to recommend. Patriot Blue is my second favorite Ram color. Your mods are tasteful and look great.

Simple things like a level and bigger or same size AT tires but both of those are personal preferences.

Could do something like this with a color of your choice.




Also can blackout that eTorque on the hood.

There's wind defectors (above the 4 side windows)
Hood deflectors (with or without lighting)
Could also put lighting on the top like on the 2500s.

These would also fit in your front grille if you want\like more lighting. Dual 6in LED Grille Kit (19-22 RAM 1500)


Really comes down to what YOU want. There are always a ton of mods out there to do.

Appreciate it!!!!

I love the black & blue theme. Once I get wheels on it.... never going to want to let it go

Appreciate! I plan to level once I do wheels. Hopefully early on in 2023

Interesting!

I like the grill badge black like I have it.

The e-torque bezel was already a piece I bought to replace the stock one which was chrome lettering. The replacement was black with a little blue on it -- ended up liking the touch of blue since it matches my truck color!

I like the idea of lighting up top like a 2500 -- do you have a link to a kit you'd recommend for that?

I also like these grill lights you sent a lot -- looking at the link now.
Thanks for the input!

I can't find the thread for the life of me, but someone here installed the roof lighting. He basically installed the lights and ran the cables backwards onto the roof, then in a single line sent them all to the passenger side, and down the windshield inside a small piece of weatherstripping on the side of the windshield. so you can't even tell wires are there, and into the hood. I think he used body color tape to keep the wiring down on the roof so you couldn't see it unless you were above the truck somehow.

There are also wireless ones that take a battery and can be turned on with a remote, but I personally wouldn't want to have someone battery powered and a remote to turn it on.

If you like the blue eTorque, you could get blue for HEMI and 1500 (if you wanted).

I wish I could do the LEDs in the grill, but I have a Limited and the grills are a bit different and don't allow me to install there without cutting the grill apart.

There's also the lighted bug shield

I THINK there is one called like sunroof deflector or something but I can't find the link. It's like the same thing as the hood, but mounts on the roof.

I was looking at your pics. I'm confused. Which step did you install? If it's the black one, what is the brand & model?
Thanks!

Install was easy and it looks so much cleaner in person. And so much cleaner than the stock look. I like the black on blue theme of the truck. Hated any chrome on there. After the step install, the only remaining thing I need to replace is the wheels
