I despise chrome, but for whatever reason I actually don’t mind the lug nuts on my black night edition wheels. I was bound and determined to get black lug nuts when I found out they were on the night edition but after seeing them I really don’t mind. Think it gives the truck some nice contrast. Granite crystal night edition. Just my thoughts.
I too am not a big fan of chrome. Interestingly enough though, I like a little of the shine against this GCM color. Instead of blacking out my badges I installed gray vinyl overlays, which leaves some chrome "highlighting" the edges. The aluminum side steps add more than enough shine to tie it all together. I never wanted all the chrome that came on the truck, and the last totally blacked out car I had was in the 80s, I think this strikes the right balance.

My wife couldn't understand why the nickle lugs bothered me... Then I replaced them with black and suddenly she liked my wheels :LOL:! If you get to the point where you want to replace yours, I've been happy with these so far:

amen... i agree 150% had to go, first thing i did after seeing one at a lot before I had the truck!!

I also have the granite night. I was with you at first, didn't mind the nickel lug nuts. I decided to see what black looked like so I bought the nylon lug covers, I much preferred the look. Unfortunately after a couple of months all of the nylon cover split. I ordered McGuard black lugs. I much prefer the look now.

Want another set of stock tires for $400? lol i have them sitting for sale
Since my truck only has 1600 miles on it, I'm hoping I won't need any for a while. I have 22s, so if I were going to shop, I would probably consider 18s with snow tires or more aggressive tread.

Once I noticed the chrome, it looked to me like my truck had four spare tires on. It just looked bad IMO. The beauty of vehicles is that we all have different likes and can make them all look however we want.

I wrapped some interior parts in 3M CFS12 2080 Carbon Fiber. Never wrapped anything before so was pretty apprehensive but taking my time I'm really happy with the results. Normally if I do anything and make even a small mistake I notice and it drives me nuts but I was able to do this and make it look OEM. Would recommend the 3M 2080.
how did you remove the uppper glove box?

Few days late, but I brought it home! This is my 2nd Ram, I had a 2014 Sport, then drove a VW GTI for a while, and traded that for this 2020 Rebel! Fees good to be back in a truck

Added a simple rubber-foam trim to better integrate and cover the sportbar base.

Disconnected the HK Boomy/unbalanced subwoofer:
UPDATE: For reasons Unknown to me; disconnecting this while effective in disabling the sub ALSO disabled android Auto and BlueTooth audio playback for me! I've taken the video down for now until answers can be had. Not recommending this disconnect.

Been working a little at a time on the tedious task of changing chrome badging to a color that more closely resembles my wheels. Installed my exhaust tips. They were changed from chrome to PXJ Diamond Black Crystal Pearlcoat. Installed my hood badges. Future tasks....install my new grill. Going from a chrome Longhorn grill to a Limited grill I had painted PXJ Diamond Black. I will be removing current badging and installing the new color. Not shown but I deleted the Longhorn chrome window trim by using satin black vinyl. Came out good. Additionally, I purchased PXJ mirror caps to replace the chrome as well as a new PXJ tailgate assembly to delete the chrome. I'm not going full chrome delete, just changing most of it up. Ordered an ARE Topper in PXJ since wife and I will be taking our bikes with us on our road trips.

Done! 👍 Mopar 2” Lift, Hellwig sway bar with endlinks, XD Monster 3 Wheels 20” and Michelin Defender LTX tires. Very happy with the outcome and drives great.
