Re: Most Noticeable Interior Upgrade??
So far for me the biggest things have been the aftermarket stereo and my dash. I got a metal trim plate off ebay to go over the dead space on the cluster and sprayed it blue, then I got one of the Nu-Image gauge faces. Looks a hell of a lot better than the stock black and green.

Painting the trim pieces in your dash. Costs about 5 bucks for a can of paint and about an hour or two of your time.

Re: Most Noticeable Interior Upgrade??
I painted my dash and i was one of the few people in my hometown who had it done (small town Labrador lol) Most people noticed it first. After i had the door handle trim painted as well, it looked pretty nice. Just put some hours and effort into it (PREP WORK!) and everything should look amazing.

Re: Most Noticeable Interior Upgrade??
There's big town Labrador?

Totally agree with Koots. Painting trim pieces can go a long way towards making your truck stand out. The dash trim, the trime around the door handles, the vents, any of those, look really good when painted. But like Koots emphasized, prep work is the key to success.

Re: Most Noticeable Interior Upgrade??
painting, seats or seat covers, floor mats, guage face ... any of that would make a big difference in the appearance and should be fairly cheap

Re: Most Noticeable Interior Upgrade??
well i painted all my trim pieces a few weeks ago and they look good but they arent very noticeable being black on dark grey. i like the seat cover idea. what color would look good with a black truck with grey interior? if i did that i could repaint the trim to match.

Pick a brighter colour or go with like a silver or gun metal or something. Try and do a 2 tone theme

For ride comfort go with Dynamat and Aftermarket Seats! I put on a lot of miles at once and got really tired and uncomfortable. Dynamat and Seats made it quiet/comfortable and I get a lot less tired now.

Re: Most Noticeable Interior Upgrade??
nice seats do make a difference. Maybe pick up some Escalade leather buckets, even though you have a reg cab. the middle seat is useless and punishing for a passenger anyway.
