What are the first mod's you are thinking about?

When I ordered this car, some of the first things I thought would I would do are:

Window Tint
Look for a 20" wheel
Interior dress up (for the miscillaneous trim pieces that are particularly plastic looking) Tortoise Shell trim accents maybe?
Front Grill (with Verticle or Horizontal slits, or a Mesh cross hatch)
Cold Air intake
SS Exhaust, or tips

Honestly, none of this is really necessary, the Tint and Wheels are the main appearance items that I will looking into first. What are your priorities, if any?

Some logical modifications, I would imagine:

Cold Air Intake
Catback Exhaust
Cam Gears?
Heads and Cam Package
Timing?
Shift Kit

I wonder how difficult one of the aftermarket turbos suited for the Ram would be to retrofit? I bet hood clearance would be a large problem, not to mention all of the plastic engine covers. I'm VERY curious what will be done to HP on the SRT model, if anything. 20" wheel, absolutely. Check out the giovanna Bremans here:

They should still maintain some ride qualtity with the right tire.

I would love to put some window tint and some blue flames on my black car but I can't see messing with that car yet. Perhaps when I trade up to a SRT8

20's are a must! Too bad about the funky offset and bolt pattern. I live in California, so I am debating whether or no to tint. I really want some nice limo all the way around . . . but do I want a ticket every other week?!? Oh well, customization is a constant battle with this darn state!

Mmm. . . the stock chrome 18's are pretty proportional. 20's might look pretty good though.

Just got my Cool Vanilla tinted 20%. Looks awesome. Need to get some pics this weekend in the sun.
