I'd suggest a Ultragauge or a Scangauge, those things are awesome. The Ultra is about $70 and the Scanguage is around $250. Next choice would be some HIDs or seat covers...

I just can't believe your asking the g/f for truck parts. lol

she wants to make sure i get what i want! shes a keeper! no sweaters or socks for me

 

[kball]

How about tools?

 

[4-Ripcord]

Save the truck parts for the parents to buy, just tell your girl to "be creative". :cheers:

on the same page brother

I would be asking for other things...

:frisky: :banana:


Then again, when your young you get it regardless so maybe asking for truck parts is acceptable. But, just wait till you get older... when your married or with a serious g/f, you're on "her" time.

How about tools?

ive got pretty much all i need! although you can never have enough...

so i think i have decided to get some HID's and a new Headunit!!
The HIDS are from DDM Tuning and are 55w 8k's!!
The radio i have not decided on yet but im considering the Power Acoustik PTID-8920. Has anyone bout this or could sugest any others for around the same price?

I have been looking into doing HID's.
And did quite a bit of research, I have heard mixed things about DDM they do come with a warranty. But after going on HID forums, I found that most senior members on those forums hold the belief that HID conversions are not worth doing unless you go with OEM parts. Some also said that they have had difficult experiences collecting on DDM's warranty.
Once again this is not from my own experience but only what I learned through lots of online research.
I would not do a conversion unless you install projector lenses in the stock housing as it will be very similar to driving around with your brights on all the time (blinding other drivers).
I recently lost all my bookmarks, otherwise I would post some links to some good FAQ on HID lighting...
let me do a quick google search..

Here is a link to a forum that I learned a lot from...

Noobie Questions

Good luck with the conversion and Happy Birthday!

NOOOOOO 8k is like purple or some **** .. Not cool.

Yeah totally agree don't go out of 4300k-6000k range!
I didn't want to insult you but blue/purple is not cool at all also 4300k has much better light output.

Thanks for the info! and i plan on doing the projector retrofit whenever i can get the money to do it! I also have heard some mixed things on DDM but most of which has been good! I have always wanted HIDs and it was something to mark off my list but i will let everyone know how it turns out!
