Ordered Exterior Parts Today
Since last year the ride has been dinked around. Backed into by cousin and twisted front bumper, hit back bumper on rock off roading, lights were pointed down etc.
So today I ordered new bumpers to paint same as runner, tired of the chrome look with sunfire red and black tint. Also I got new fender.
I also ordered new '99 headlamps since they look and project better. I was wanting opinions on types of bulbs I should go with? I don't like the blue halogen just whites. Any suggestions on type I should get? Experiences or prices? Not an expert on these and have never switch to whites or anything so suggestions would be appreciated.
Should have it all finished by friday I'm hoping. Good thing about all this is it's at families car lot/body shop so shouldn't have any problems!
I will upload before/after pictures when all is finished.
Oh and almost forgot; I bought a 4" bass port for the velocity stack mod. Will put it together when they are finished with painting along with adding new air filter. K&M worth it or waste of $?

I was about to say DON'T buy Silverstars.... In my experience, they last about a year then the filament breaks. I've tried them a couple times because I liked the output but the life span is right at a year.
Go OEM...

Where did you get OEM at? Just have O'Reilly's order it I assume? Will the OEM's be white or will it have a yellowish/amber hue to it a bit? I figure white since they are brand new but still curious.
Anybody have thoughts on a K&M filter? Never used one but here it's not worth the money, others love em?

Amsoil is the way to go for oil filter. If you plan on buying silverstars by the time you replace the pair you could have bought yourself some very decent hid drop ins with a little modification

On the oil filter note...I ran across this in depth shake-down of oil filters a year or so ago. Found it very informative. Opinions and Recommendations - Oil Filters Revealed - MiniMopar Resources
