Every day, in every state I'm in, I see many trucks that people have gone way overboard on in the vain hope that it will impress their friends, and much less likely, their wife. Higher ride height is a common mod, and flashy grilles another. Most of these mods are not functional, such as fake semi-style exhaust coming out behind the cab, and most are just ill-fitting and bad-looking.
Here and there, some tasteful customizing is okay for trucks, but never go overboard. It makes you look either stupid, antisocial, or both depending on your mods. If you put some of the fake-chrome partial trim strips on your doors, it looks pretty ugly. Big logos, huge suspension mods, and really loud engine sounds are out of the question on grounds of being seen as somebody who doesn't care at all about the environment and antisocial. Here's a great example of what I'm talking about, only less so because it's a diesel and the pipes actually work.
