Seeking Suggestions on Minor Mods

[CapeFear]

I'm on my second 4Runner. Had a 2005 SR5, and just replaced it with another 05 with much less mileage. I drive my car for work and travel a good bit. I'm 30 now, so I am not going to modify my car the way I did when I was 19. I want it to look sharp, but also be able to pick up a client and be taken seriously. I'm not going to lift it. I'm not going to put a roof rack or bull bar on it.

On my Grand Cherokee I had in college I had flowmasters put on it, and really liked it. It didn't really sound good until I got a free flow cat though. The individual strokes were much more noticeable. Does anyone have a suggestion of a good, smooth exhaust system. What I don't want is something that is so loud that when clients get in my car they are thinking, "What a redneck this guy is." But I do want to add some throat to the Toyota (it's a v6). I'll be taking off the mud flaps and side steps on this car to give it a slightly higher looking stance.

I have seen that a lot of the guys on this forum have changed out the front headlights for custom ones. Suggestions on brands or where I can get them?

I've seen some fog light additions, added directly to the vehicle and not to a grill guard, that looked really nice without being overboard as well. Got suggestions here?

Anything else that comes to mind would be appreciated too. Thanks.

Definitely do some searching on the forum, there's tons of mod threads.

I'd say do the interior/exterior LED swap. It's easy and very effective and well worth the investment!

DDM tuning makes decent HIDs, which I installed for my fogs. They've worked great since I got them back in November/December 2011.

Hope that helps....

Magnaflow has a nice exhaust for our trucks

As for the headlights you have a few options, you can either modify the headlights that you have, blackhousing them or retrofitting projectors into them. Or you can get aftermarket ones with projectors and LED's that some people like, some people don't. Or you can swap the 2006+ stock headlights that have projectors in them. It really depends on how much work and money that you want to invest

For fog lights, you can either switch to something brighter like HID's or you can add another set into the stock bumper.
