Well it's almost the end of winter and I have run out of Christmas presents to put on my truck. I'm waiting until over time picks up at work so I can dive back into so major mods. I'm just looking for some ideas of cheap mods to hold me over until I start getting after it. I've already done the debadging and the plasti-dip, changing over to LED's, and laying vinyl over my stock wood grain. Any ideas? Thank.

Painting your engine cover is cheap. Can of Krylon, blue painter tape, and alittle imagination, along with a day off and a cold beverage or two.
There are some posts in the "Engine " section that show this mod. I did mine, and allways act like I'm checking my oil at gas stations just to show it off. :lol:

Funny you should say the Stars....I did that a few months ago. And I did the cover to my Volant CAI to match a week or so ago.

Ahh great minds think alike,,,,nice job,,, looks great. :shock:

The tailgate strut is cool to. I got one at a local auto parts store.

You could sand the Volant tube smooth and paint it too. Did the entire airbox on mine but just the edge of the lid, entire fuse box, ecm cover, brake res cap, rad surge bottle cap etc etc.

This tailgate strut...would one work on my 05?

I didn't even think to do the intake tube. Going to have to run to Autozone and get more paint.

Yes they make struts for that year. I got mine at Advanced Auto Parts. On the shelf.
