Well I started out with a stock 08 Colorado 2.9 manual. The things I have done to it so far are the supersparkz, ptb, super 44 muffler, Dual "ram" air intake ( 2 hoses that feed air from under the headlights through a crack plus stock air fender outlet), AEM dry filter, resonator delete, and truck bed cover. I will post more pictures later when I can take some. I want to do much more over the next few years when I have more money so it will be a long project! Here is a picture of my friend welding in the muffler for me:

Here are some pics I just took. I also painted the license plate housing to match the body color. The pipe in place of the resonator is not finished. I need to clean it up and paint it. What color do you guys suggest? I am thinking of matching the color of the truck but that may look tacky on the engine.

You talking about the air intake tube or the tubes that are going from under the headlight to the airbox? Either one, yes.

At city speeds (35mph) to highway(75mph) that fan is never on unless the a/c is on, but yes there is a mpg improvement and there has to be hp improvements due to the engine not having to turn the mechanical fan (since it is not there anymore).

got them at autozone. Too expensive IMO, 20 bucks... but they are just the 3057 with the "try me" button.

Process for paint what I did:
1. Clean off surface with alcohol and water and dry.
2. Primer
3.Color match paint
4. Clear
all from spray paint cans. It's not gonna be professional quality but its better then what it did look like.

I bought some ddm color changing turn signals (white to amber when it is engaged). ryley911 has them. I saw how they looked when he came and they look good. I ordered some and they are on their way. Should be here in the next few weeks.

mOWWck: We need to have another mini meet so we can meet you and your truck and see all the goodies we have for our trucks!

Also I have a 355nation shirt and decal on the way along with some more led stuff! I'm excited!! :th_woot:

Painted the headlights and the inside bezels. I need to redo the side vent bezels and touch up the headlights to look cleaner but I like the overall look.
