Most of the mods I've done have been cheap and easy to do yourself.

Plasti-dip wheels and grill inserts
Paint calipers
Color match tailgate handle and antenna base
Custom painted front and rear main badges

What david said.. small DIY stuff will really set the truck off.. I'm not to sure how everything comes apart on the 4th gens....I have not been able to play with one yet.

The chrome plastic covers on the wheels are what you are plasti-dipping...It took me three cans at $6 each to do all four of mine with plenty left over.

The rear badge is a single piece held on only with double sided tape. The front badge is two pieces that are held on with tabs accessible from the back of the grill.

I plastidipped my wheels, grille inserts, and roll pan so far and I love it!
