Cheap creative ideas
Hey everyone. I'm looking for some cool cheap ideas for my 95 ranger xlt. I have already changed the seats, center console, instrument cluster, painted some of the door and dash plastics, replaced the rims with mustang rims, headlight and taillights have been removed and blacked out the 3rd brake light and corner lenses. I currently have 2 red led strips ordered to put behind the grill and a hid 10k kit to install. Just looking for some cheap but creative and custom ideas. I have an idea of changing the shit rod and nob to a 1/2" twisted pice of steel about 2 to 3 ft long and a custom wrench nob or something cool like that. If you have any ideas that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time am ideas!! 
Red less are going behind the grill

Most of the stuff is black and red. I think it goes good with the white truck lol but that's just my thought

Re: Cheap creative ideas
That red doesn't work at all for me either....but since I don't have to look at it, and as Joshua pointed out, since it's your truck, GO FOR IT!!!

It there was a different color scheme that would go with the truck I would but it's the best colors I thought without getting aftermarket seats and i don't like the tan or gray seats

Re: Cheap creative ideas
Changing the headliner and carpeting to a complementary color of red would really make a nice impact. Those are two easy to do things. Be careful putting red lights in the grill. Johnny Law may not like that.

Thanks I'll look into that and as of the lights, I talked to a few local cops and they said its fine as long as they don't flash and that it would be the same for motorcycles and I have seen plenty of lights on them lol

Re: Cheap creative ideas
That depends on what state and municipality you're in. Not everywhere is the same. I "think" in Michigan, amber/yellow, and whatever colour your headlights, that is normal up to blue, are the only colours acceptable. Just because a guy hasn't been stopped, doesn't count. Lots of times a cop figures it just aint worth it.

I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to wire a switch up for them haha
