Icon10 Suggestions on Mod Plz

I got my Ranger about a month ago, and so far ive installed HID lights, 5% tint on the rear window, 20% tint on the sides, Ive gotten my black tailights and the front lights should be on there way. What do you think my next mod should be? Im thinking maybe painting Renegade (<-- Rangers new nickname) black, getting a Body Lift or some Black wheels and bigger tires. What would you guys suggest?
Here she is now:

New wheels and tires defn, a body lift would allow you to fit bigger ones on there which would look good.

Depending on how big of tires you want, you'd have to do the body lift first. I like a comfy interior so I'm going to suggest a swap to bucket seats or an explorer OHC. Both are pretty simple to do, not really technical. Or if you want to get straight to the point, 5.0 swap and SAS but I doubt that one lol.

Same here, I love interior mods. Explorer OHC, expo full floor console, some leather power seats, expo white gauges, lighted visors, mustang domelight and you'll be riding in luxary inside!

No I havent done anything to the bed, i am going to add a plastic bed cover. The bed is a dinged all over, so i think im going to add the cover instead of spraying it.

I ordered the main part of the headlight from Gcustoms.com, but i cant find the corner lights/bottom lights. anyone know where i can get those?

Paint the bumpers to match the truck. BL and then the biggest tires you can squeeze in there.

Are you running the stock headlights with HID's? If so, how do they look? I have the HID set-up, but have been thinking of waiting till I get the clear headlights.

I installed them and they are really bright. . . a little too bright maybe. . . i would just wait till you get the headlights if you dont want to get pulled over, i dont know how the cops over where your at, theyre pretty passive about that here thats why i put mine on. Im waiting on my headlights tho. with the stock housing there is no cone to bounce the light to the reflectors so its direct.
