You finally bought the truck you dreamed of owning for years, but there are few things you want to change to put your signature on the vehicle and make it all yours. Rather than breaking your wallet, why not elevate your truck’s appearance using a few inexpensive tricks. Here are four ways you can upgrade your truck on a budget.
Improving the Bed
The bed of your truck can be hit with dents, dings, and scratches. To protect both the bottom and sides from damage, choose one of the drop-in bed liners available. The liners can help keep your loads safe and stationary even on the roughest of terrains. For an added bonus, the liners are easy to install and are very inexpensive, considering they can last for many years to come.
Removing the Chrome
Blacking out the chrome on your truck can have a dramatic effect when you want upgrades on a budget. If you want to try it yourself, use a plastic dip product that can be found in aerosol form. There are also professional shops that can apply the coating and update the look with a lovely black or slate grey finish that does not cost much.
Replacing the Lights
Lighting can make a huge difference in the look for any vehicle. Changing out your truck’s headlights with LED bulbs is no exception. The LED bulbs are energy efficient, but they are also much brighter than stock halogen bulbs. With the white light the LED bulbs produce, you may be able to see much further with your updated headlights lighting the way.
Adding a Grille
The addition of a front grille can enhance your truck’s appearance dramatically while making a personal statement. Depending on the type of grille you choose, it can be a prominent, mesh, or billet category. Choose the one that fits your personal style from the many aftermarket grilles available.
Making the truck your own does not have to be expensive. You can stay within a budget and still personalize the look of your vehicle.
